“Just Like Fire Would” by The Saints

"Just Like Fire Would" opened the All Fools Day campaign for the Saints, landing in March 1986 as the lead single from the Australian band's seventh studio album, which followed in April. Chris Bailey, the band's singer, wrote it alone, and Hugh Jones produced it, having shared the album's production with Bailey. It came out on Mushroom and climbed to number 29 on the Kent Music Report chart.

AllMusic's John Dougan called it great, and its title a neat pun, in making the case that the newer Saints earned their keep for entirely different reasons than the early ones did. Decades on, it made Triple M's Ozzest 100, the station's January 2018 rundown of the "most Australian" songs of all time.
