about

Recorded at Radio Contact, Waikato Uni by Gordon Bassett for the casette Dead Man's Shoes, later on the CD Live from the Pillow. In order of drunkenness: EE monk on gat, Pudding on vocals, Webclaw on Casiotone, and Stu Armstrong on drums (sample at end from a Hal Hartley movie). Then back to Memorial Drive to vomit and sleep on the front porch with newspaper stuffed into clothes for warmth; oh the glamorous band life.
- Pud

lyrics

The Kurt Cobain Song

There was a tree
Now there is me
There was a lake
Now there is not

Once there was a dinosaur
Swimming in the sky
Now there is a happy place
Where people can die
Where people can

There was a flower
Now there's a shoe
There was a space
Now there is you

Once they tried to build the Tower
Of Babel falls from on high
Now there is a happy place
Where people can die
Where people can

There was a dragon
But now there's a psychotic maniac
There was a family
But now they're all dead

Once Columbus sailed the seas
To order his Coke & Fries
Now there is a happy place
Where people can die
Where people can

There was a ommm
Now there is stress
There was a love-in
But now there's a great big fucking mess

Once there was a flower child
Learning how to fly
Now there is a happy place
Where people can die
Where people can
