Their first album Goblini ("The Goblins") was released only on tape in small printing in April 1994. A-side of the tape included songs by Lorelai and the B-side featured new songs. A few months later Divnić went to the army and was replaced by Nedeljko "Meketa" Nedić with whom the band recorded their second album Istinite priče I deo ("True Stories Part I") also released on tape. The album featured "Ciponjka", "eLeSDi se vraca kući" ("LSD Is Coming Home") and "Za Lorenu" ("For Loreena") and five rerecorded tracks from the first album. Divnić recorded drum sections on one part of the material. Later that year the band was joined by Džukele member Leo "fon Punkerstein" Pilipović since his band took a break because band members went to the army. In May 1995, Nedić left for Cyprus and was replaced by Zoran "Fric" Jević.
During the same year the band released a live tape of their appearance at Belgrade's KST on August 31, 1995. Among their songs the band played cover versions of KUD Idijoti's "Pisma o ribaru Marinu, Mari i moru" and "Minijatura", Ramones' "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" and "Commando" and a Serbian language version of The Clash's "I Fought The Law" (titled "Ne mogu više") which were regularly performed on concerts. The band also played Boris Novković's song "Tamara" since Jovanović was a part of Novković's band. "Ne mogu više" was dedicated to former president Slobodan Milošević and the last verse of the song is taken from the Talking Heads's track "Road To Nowhere". With the producer Aca Radosavljević the band recorded the CD U magnovenju. During the promotional tour for the album Filipović was replaced by Saša Šetka. The album featured live versions of "On je ona je", "Ima nas!", "Petra", "Vođa" and a cover of Videosex's song "Kako bih volio da si tu" ("I Wish You Were Here") renamed "Anja, volim te" ("Anja, I Love You") dedicated to Videosex vocalist Anja Rupel. During May, 1996 with the bands Svarog, Love Hunters and Ništa Ali Logopedi Goblini went on a Slovenian tour and on June got the call to perform at Zgaga rock festival at the place Hotič pri Litija near Ljubljana after which they toured Slovenia again (during autumn 1996). Live versions of their three songs were included on a various artists compilation Paket Aranžman - Svi protiv svih ("Package Deal - Everybody Against Everybody") recorded in Belgrade's KST held to celebrate the fifth birthday of the TV Politika show Paket Aranžman. In June 1997, the band toured Slovenia and performed at the second Zgaga rock festival with a new drummer, Vladimir "Cina" Cinklocki (a former Generacija Bez Budućnosti and Obojeni Program member).
A double live various artists compilation No Border Jam 4 & 5 released in 1997, featured live versions of "Ona misli da zna", "U magnovenju" and "eLeSDi se vraca kuci" recorded at Ilirska Bistrica performance in 1996. In August 1997 the band performed as an opening act for Motörhead on Budapest rock festival. Twenty recordings from thirteen cities made in Serbia and Slovenia from 1996 and 1997 were released on double CD Turneja u magnovenju '96/97. The album featured a new studio track "Punk's Not Dead" and reissue of "Istinite priče I deo". Cinklocki left the band when they were about to enter the studio in November 1998. The album "Re Contra" was finished on the day 1999 NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia started. This was the reason the album was not released until December 1999. In the mean-time, the band went on a nine dates Italian tour including Milano, Rome, Bologna, Torino and other cities. On January 2000 until the spring of 2001, the band toured Serbia.
After the tour the band took a break and started planning their next album, but the economic situation in the country led Branko Golubović, Alen Jovanović, Saša Šetka, Vlada Kokotović and drummer Milan Arnautović to part their ways.
In 2003 Alen Jovanović formed a band called Starfuckers featuring members from Plexus, Midgard and CBS. In 2004, Multimedia Records released Najbolje priče ("The Best Stories") a greatest hits compilation featuring live versions of songs performed at the band's peak. The album also features videos for "Voz" and "Pričaš". The later was an unreleased track recorded in 1997 which is also included on the album.
In 2006 Živka Ivković from Šabac released a book called "Od Čivija do Goblina" ("From The Machine Heads To The Goblins") with a subtitle "Illustrated Rock History Of Šabac 1963-1999-2006".
In late 2008 Milan Arnautović formed alternative rock band Eleven together with his old mates. http://www.elevenmusic.net

Pričaš...
Samo pričaš...
Pričaš...
Ti si savršenstvo koje hoda, telo čista desteka,
tek sada kad si sa mnom znam šta je ljubomora,
pet minuta zadovoljstva s tobom je premija
istina...
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš svaki dan,
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš bilo šta,
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš svaki dan,
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... ti pričaš...
Često si u lošem filmu, to ti je navika,
negde duboko u tebi čeka da eksplodira,
pet minuta zadovoljstva s tobom je premija
al' kada svetlo prodje, ostaje gola istina,
istina...
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš svaki dan,
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš bilo šta,
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš svaki dan,
Pričaš... ti pričaš...
U svakoj priči prva dolaziš do reči,
ni sama ne znaš šta si htela reći,
ti si siguran i jaka, prelepa za sebe,
i uvek kad ne treba ti moraš da kažeš...
Pričaš... (samo pričaš) ... pričaš svaki dan,

The song "Pričaš" by the Serbian rock band Goblini is a commentary on people who talk too much but don't actually do anything. The song warns against the dangers of valuing appearance over substance and superficial relationships over true connections. The lyrics describe a person who is physically attractive but shallow, and the singer admits that they find pleasure in being with this person but ultimately realizes that they cannot have a deep, fulfilling connection with them. The repeated refrain, "Pričaš... samo pričaš..." (You talk... you just talk...), serves as a criticism of this person's constant chatter without any real meaning behind it.
The song also touches upon themes of insecurity and the need to be heard. The person described in the song is always the first to speak, but often doesn't even know what they want to say. The singer acknowledges how this person can seem confident and strong, but in reality, they are just trying to cover up their own insecurities. The chorus makes it clear that the singer is frustrated with this person's constant talking, and it becomes clear that they are unable to form a meaningful relationship because of it.
Overall, "Pričaš" is a cautionary tale about valuing surface-level characteristics in people and the importance of authenticity and genuine connections.

Ti si savršenstvo koje hoda, telo čista desteka,
You are perfection walking, body pure dynamite,

Only now that I'm with you do I know what jealousy is,
pet minuta zadovoljstva s tobom je premija
Five minutes of pleasure with you is a reward
al' kada svetlo prodje, ostaje gola istina,
But when the light fades away, the naked truth remains,
