All songs written by John Cale, except Fairweather Friend by Garland Jeffreys who also wrote a short poem for the album's innersleeve:

John Cale, Welshman of sorts
Person of course
Not to be confused with
Velvet or lace or the keeper's face
A past as a sartyr
Disguised as the mad hatter
Who would believe him now?
