- "Mutiny in Heaven:" Really looks best on a printed page. My indentations are a sorry approximation of the form he intended. Quite sculptural!

- "O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)": Includes dedication to Anita Lane.
- The Bad Seeds and Grinderman lyrics are verbatim from his website, with exceptions:

- "Babe, I'm On Fire:" Replaced his "Chorus"'s with the chorus text.
- "Let the Bell Ring:" Replaced his "(Chorus)"'s with thie chorus text.
- "O Children:" Was missing spaces after each "Hey little train!"
- All of Grinderman 2 except for "Palaces of Montezuma:" Removed double linebreaks.
