Why is it that the only known planet where people sing about setting the world on fire also happens to be the only known planet whose surface is over seventy per cent water? I've included lyrics to several of the quadrillion songs which take part in this unique motif and included a bibliography for the rest. The lyrics become a warning. It is by will alone you set all three vids at once in motion.
I Don't Wanna Set the World On Fire – The Ink Spots, 1941
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will do
I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of
Believe me
I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start a flame in your heart
New Christian Music – Alien Sex Fiend, 1983
Got my wheels rollin'
Set the world on fire
When you were down, girl
I couldn't get much higher Fire
Looking cheap and nasty
Like some second hand lil
You went and got high
On some birth control pill
Higher
Looking quite uptight
Hair in ruins
Look into my eyes
Before I say goodbye (Bye)
New Christian music
I am the lord of garbage
Set The World On Fire – Racer X, 1988
I'm a hot-blooded high tension
Thermonuclear power pack
Don't mess with me brother
That'll be the straw that
Broke the camel's back
A rip roarin' rowdy
Bulletproof heart attack
I'm gonna set
The world on fire
You better bet
The flames 'll get higher
Higher
(Raise 'em up)
Gotta chip on my shoulder
I dare you to take a crack
Wipin' out the others with a
Snap of my finger
(Just like that)
An iron-hearted lover
Case hardened pyromaniac
I'm gonna set
The world on fire
You better bet
The flames 'll get higher
Higher
(Raise 'em up)
We wanna shake you
And set the world on fire
We're gonna break through
Maybe we'll take you up higher
I'm gonna set
The world on fire
You better bet
The flames 'll get higher
Higher
I'm gonna set
The world on fire
You better bet
The flames 'll get higher
Higher
Whoa
Whoa
