It is a metaphor for life.
You're warming your spuds by lifes fire,it all goes up in flames and then someone comes along to 'help' you by kicking you in the ass.

Oooh yes!
The actual words "I just died in your arms tonight" originally came to Nick Van Eede while he was having sex with his girlfriend. The French phrase "la petite mort" ("the little death") is a metaphor for orgasm. After writing down his version of the phrase, he later used it as the opening line to the song as well as using it as the chorus.
Should be 'died in your clunge'

The metaphor of death equated with orgasm is not exclusive to French literature. It is, after all, the climax.
I can't be arsed to look for examples but it's common to Chaucer and Shakespeare. See also the ingestion of food being called consumption, the act of fucking being called the consumption of a physical relationship, and pneumonia and TB, for centuries resulting in almost certain death, being referred to as 'the consumption'. It's disputed, but the breathlessness that lung disease causes was compared to the breathlessness of a good shag that is so all consuming, hence 'the consumption'. I'm fairly sure the same metaphor is found in classic Greek and Latin lit.

Probably too much vodka in his piss-stained trousers.

Looks like he got lucky there with cotton trousers, synthetic would have melted and destroyed half his skin.
