Leanne was mama, she ruled the house
No shrink in violet, her voice rang out
But she was gentle too, a laugh that made you smile inside
She said she lived in paradise
So when that lump appeared, she fought so hard
We always thought she'd win with just the scars
That day the doctor came, Neil held her hand
She held her breath, the words were spoken
That they'll not forget, I think you need to get
Your affairs in order
I think you need to get
Your affairs in order
What does that mean?
The tears they streamed
Neil walked her to the car
And then they drove on home
And then they drove on home
Ross was a clever man
Marg was so proud
His published works are still
Important now
He planned their house so well
He planned their house so well
No details sped, their future set
The words were spoken
That they'll not forget
I think you need to get
Your affairs in order
I think you need to get
Your affairs in order
What does that mean?

The tears they streamed
It's something you don't want to hear yourself
Or to someone that you love so much
There's no easy way to look
Somebody in the eyes
And tell them there is now a list
of the memories I perfectly remember



On their precious life
Some may choose to argue
Or to question if it's true
Sad to say that if you're told
There's not much you can do
I think you need to get
Your affairs in order
I think you need to get
Your affairs in order
What does that mean?
The tears they stream
It's something you don't want
To hear yourself or to someone
That you love so much
Leanne was mama
She ruled the house
