Pop Love Song

Describes the fallout from "Round Two" with an ex.

Round Two

I was lucky enough to accompany some very good friends as they went for a viewing of bush house near Healesville, Northeast of Melbourne.  As it was to transpire they bought the house and it was magical to be there to witness their-love-at-first-site expressions.  The vendor was a charming, if somewhat weary, Frenchman named Claude.  While the agent was showing my friends around, I had the chance to chat to Claude about the house and it's history.  He had built the house himself, but when he was breaking the ground his wife of 38 was diagnosed with cancer and subsequently died. The first half of the song refers to this conversation.

Healesville is very close to some of the areas that were affected by the bush fires of 2009 that claimed 173 lives. The next part of the song refers to this.  Healesville was not directly affected by the fires, but like most Australian communities, the residents were profoundly affected by the events of "Black Saturday".
