Cover art for You Were My Fiji lyrics by John Vanderslice

im guessing that he had a fling with a girl, but like a whaling ship, she had rough waters, she was unstable, always moving. They parted ways and he fell in love with someone else's sand and dry land, which is somone more stable. Then he ran into his once fling, and shes a stripper and a whore, but i dont get the "fucking whale sank my van" part.
