Debut album "Taste The Blood Of Zombina & The Skeletones" was released in late 2002 and quickly sold out following gigs up and down the country with the likes of The Damned, The Misfits, and The Meteors.
In 2003 the band set up the finest glam/punk/rock 'n' roll club the Mersey area has ever seen - "Useless" happened every other Tuesday at the Zanzibar in Liverpool for almost 3 years before a change of name and venue saw new night "Zombie Hop" arrive (and then disappear soon after) at the Heaven & Hell club.
Late 2004 saw the release of debut single "I Was A Human Bomb For The F.B.I.", the first in a series of three limited edition 7" records which has now sold out. The "Mondo Zombina!" EP followed in July 2005, and gigs alongside Jayne County and Wednesday 13 in the UK as well as a short tour of Germany saw supplies of the second pressing of the album run out fast.
The final installment in the Zombina & The Skeletones 7" Trilogy - "Staci Stasis" - was released in November 2005 along with the third pressing of the debut album, with a new long player set for release in early 2006.

End of the World
Zombina & The Skeletones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And nothing to waste it on
I'm a sexual vampire
I'll eat your love tonight
I said hey, in the wreck of the subway train
Trapped and wasted away
Cos nobody saw the hands
Everybody's gonna die
Cos it's the end of the world
In the morning I get ready for the night
Cos baby, there's no red button in sight
I want to leave this world tonight...
The lyrics to "End of the World" by Zombina & The Skeletones are dark and cryptic, but they seem to be referencing a world-ending event. The opening lines, "Hey, if you got atomic blood / And nothing to waste it on," suggest that the singer is addressing someone who feels like they have a special power or ability but doesn't know how to use it. The next lines, "I'm a sexual vampire / I'll eat your love tonight," are equally cryptic and seem to be a metaphor for consuming another person's emotions or energy.
The next verse takes an even more sinister turn as it describes the singer being trapped in a subway train wreck and left to die. The lines "Cos nobody saw the hands / I'll eat your heart tonight" imply that the singer is seeking revenge on someone who left them to die. The haunting refrain of "Everybody's gonna die / Cos it's the end of the world" drives home the idea that the world is coming to an end and everyone will meet their ultimate fate.
The final lines of the song, "In the morning I get ready for the night / Cos baby, there's no red button in sight / I want to leave this world tonight," suggest that the singer is tired of living in a world that's about to come to an end, and they're ready to escape it by any means necessary. Overall, the lyrics are dark and unsettling, but they also have a hypnotic quality to them that draws the listener in.

Hey, if you got atomic blood
If you possess radioactive blood
And nothing to waste it on
And have no purpose for it
I'm a sexual vampire
I am a seductive creature of the night
I'll eat your love tonight
I will consume your affection presently
I said hey, in the wreck of the subway train
I exclaimed, when trapped in the subway accident
Trapped and wasted away
Cornered and deteriorating
Cos nobody saw the hands
Because nobody observed the culprit
I'll eat your heart tonight
I will devour your soul this evening
Everybody's gonna die
All will perish
Cos it's the end of the world
As it is the termination of our existence
In the morning I get ready for the night
I prepare myself for the upcoming darkness in the morning
Cos baby, there's no red button in sight
Because darling, there exists no easy escape option
I want to leave this world tonight...
I desire to depart from this world tonight
