Lyrics

We've been around for a long time and in that time we've written a lot of songs, some in our previous incarnation as Bikini Black Special, and then even more as Zvilnik - so if you fancy a browse through lyrics old and new, fill your boots. Dig into the back catalogue of satirical sinister speculative cabaret, a fusion of science fiction, political satire, grotesque comedy, and theatrical storytelling that's been built up over actual decades.

Not Waving But Capsizing

Strung a turn too tight
Stretched far too thin
Gone a ways too far
Got a touch too high
All the wrong things rising
All is silent all is bright

I'm not made for this
I'm the crack in the wing
I'm afraid that this won't work
I'm a frayed high wire
An aeroplane falling
Not flying but stalling
All is silent all is bright

I am cells gone wild
The enemy within
I'm not well at all
I'm a spell in quarantine
Bacteria invading
Multiplying, replicating
All is silent all is bright
All the wrong things rising
