A few examples:

Nigel Watson very often gets pompous and passionate, but is usually turns into comedy, as in Cool Down, Needs Must The Devil Drives, Smile etc...
Cool Down:
"I'm burning up in the devil's fire
Driven by lust through the flames of desire
When that woman moves
She shows no shame
Sarah was her name"


SARAH??? What are you TALKING about???
One of my favourite Nigel Watson songs though...
