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.

The Man Who Killed Moreau

I'd like to report a murder
As it happens it's my own
It's no mystery, he'll go down in history
As the man who killed Mademoiselle Moreau

I've explored so many options
Done a lot of unnecessary surgery
But what do you do when you've done it all
And you finally find what you been looking for

Can you just put away your scissors?
Find a box for your scalpel and your drill?
When there's nothing to please you like amateur anaesthesia
And bodily modification is your only skill

It was just like something from a movie
Hearts and flowers and fireworks aplenty
What would he do if he really knew me?
Practically perfect
Practically perfect

I'm the coyote who caught the roadrunner
If you want a suitable analogy
All that work was so unnecessary
Practically perfect
Practically perfect

What do you do with the bodies in the basement?
What do you do with a “colourful” history
I'm a girl with a cupboard full of skeletons
Practically perfect
He's practically perfect
Could I just put away my scissors?
Find a box for my scalpel and my drill?
I'm fine with my crimes but my time has come
Just lock the cellar door... and I'm done
