Biografía:
The Burning Hell is the alter-ego of songwriter and ukulele-slinger Mathias Kom. Loosely based in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, The Burning Hell has toured back and forth across Canada and Europe since 2007, playing everywhere from festivals to bars to living rooms - and once even a mental asylum in rural France. The band has garnered acclaim for their hyperactive live shows and their caustic yet sincere lyrics, believing as they do that songs about the inevitability of death can also be fun to dance to.

Well, my name is Mathias and I came to say this:
Fm C C7
I've got a big bushy beard and kissable lips
Fm Bbm
And I carry all my fat in my ass and my hips
C C7 Fm
And the rest of me is skinny as a stick
Fm Bbm Fm
In the sixties, my mom was thin and mini-skirted
Fm C C7
She was raised as a Catholic, but then she converted
Fm Bbm
Because she loved my dad's religion; she loved him, too
C C7 Fm
And that's how I was born a Jew
Fm Bbm Fm
They lived and went to school in Buffalo
Fm C C7
But my dad decided that they had to go
Fm Bbm
Because the Vietnam War would not be good for his health
C C7 Fm
And that's how I was born in the Commonwealth
CHORUS
Ab Eb
Where we're born and when we die, we can't control that
Fm C C7
And life in between is war and combat
Bbm Fm
There are targets you can shoot for, mines to circumvent,
C C7 Fm
but, most of life is an accident.
Fm Bbm Fm
I've spent time in Peterborough, and in Winnipeg
C C7
And leaving is living: just use your legs
Fm Bbm
'Cause everywhere is nice if you drink enough beer
C C7 Fm
So some days I'm there, and some days I'm here.
Fm Bbm Fm
And it's not about sowing my wild oats or whatever
Fm C C7
I sowed my oats when I was young and I thought i was clever
Fm Bbm
And my oats all rotted in the field where they lay
C C7 Fm
And I'm oat-less and unemployed these days.
Fm Bbm Fm
So I have a ukulele, I have a guitar
Fm C C7
But I don't have a house or a kid or a car
Fm Bbm
I'd like to keep it that way as long as I can
C C7 Fm
But you know what they say about the best laid plans.
CHORUS
Ab Eb
Where we're born and when we die, we can't control that
Fm C C7
And life in between is war and combat
Bbm Fm
There are targets you can shoot for, mines to circumvent,
C C7 Fm
but, most of life is an accident.
Fm Bbm Fm
And an accident is something that you don't plan
Fm C C7
Like the Y chromozome between a woman and a man
Fm Bbm
One day I might get hit by a bus or get cancer
C C7 Fm (or just stay on C7)
But right now all I am is a fabulous dancer
Fm Bbm Fm
So dance with me, baby! Put your hands on my hips
Fm C C7
Kiss my aforementioned kissable lips
Fm Bbm
Wherever we are, that's where we're at
