about

Recorded in 1995 at Radio Contact, Waikato University by Gordon Bassett. Stu Armstrong on drums. We invited the ridiculously young goths loitering in the corridors to come into the studio and sing the chorus, which they did. We were a bit drunk. I puked and slept on the verandah at Mem Drive with newspapers stuffed inside my clothes. Classy. On the 1995 cassette Dead Man's Shoes and the 1999 LP Live From The Pillow - Pud.

lyrics

Sauce

Out of nothing we came
Out of water and air
Now we make scaroplanes
In the back of our fear

We came out of the primordial swamp
Now we have got everything we want
Why oh why, did we leave the swamp
at all

Chorus:
Sauce of life is the water
So love your life because you oughta
Much more than kind of, baby

I was lizard, I was a frog
Before I was a man with a dog
I used to slip slide down in the sand
But now I flip-out inside my tin can

We came out of the primordial ooze
Now we’ve got everything to lose
Why oh why, do I feel like shit
Oh yeah

Chorus:
Sauce of life is the water
So love your life because you oughta
Much more than kind of, baby

So I climbed down out of my tree
I was a curious curious monkey
Too full of curious ways?
No, I think not, despite these days

We came out of the primordial slime
Now we’ve got everything in line
Why oh why, do I feel so bad
Oh yeah

Chorus:
Sauce of life is the water
So love your life because you oughta
Much more than kind of, baby
