Song information

"His Lamest Flame" is a reference to the Elvis Presley song "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame".

The song "She Had You" was a hit in the Philippines, it was played in a FM radio NU 107 midnight count down.

The song "Lights Are Changing" is a cover song, the original done by British band The Bevis Frond, appearing on their 1988 album, Triptych.

The song "Some Jingle Jangle Morning" is a re-recording of the same song which appeared on Mary Lou Lord's debut 7" ep for Kill Rock Stars in 1993. The song is said to be about Kurt Cobain., as Mary Lou was briefly involved with Kurt in the early 1990s at the beginning of Nirvana's rise to fame.
