House carpenter. Just look at how much the lead singer chooses to emphasize those words. What do you think of when you think of a house carpenter? A simple ordinary man. So what does that make the speaker? The speaker might have tried to keep the woman with ways other than true love, maybe spoil her with money etc. Anyway, whether or not this is intentional. The emphasis on his lost love being buried with her NEW husband either suggests that the speaker is murdering these two in his mind, or he has lost all control and has killed them himself.
