Spontaneous Human Combustion
Lyrics by Gordon McLeod


Chorus:
I am dreaming tonight of my sweetheart,
Who spontaneously combusted three weeks ago,
We were stiing on the proch swing in the moonlight,
When she took on an eerie orange glow.

Verse 1
For this tragedy I blame myself completely,
For even though as men go I'm not large,
Our passion caused me to expand with such velocity
That I built up an electrostatic charge.

Chorus

Verse 2
My darling she was also filled with ardour,
And when she slipped her hand beneath my BVDs,
We experienced a force that nearly knocked us off the porch,
A great dicharge—of static electricity

Chorus

Verse 3
First the flames spurted forth from her navel,
And then consumed the nubile body of my dear,
And soon all that was left of my sweetheart
Was a pile of greasy ashes and a smoldering brasierre.

Chorus

Verse 4
So all young lovers please hear and heed my warning,
And turn from this evil path of lust you’re on,
For the end result of all of your concupiscence
May be Spontaneous Human Combustion.

Chorus
