"Cruel to Be Kind" is a song co-written by #NickLowe and his former bandmate #IanGomm while the pair were in #BrinsleySchwarz. The song only appeared as the 1978 #Bside of "Little Hitler" until #ColumbiaRecords convinced Lowe to rerecord it as a potential solo single for his 1979 album #LabourOfLust. Musically, the song was inspired by "#TheLoveILost" by #HaroldMelvinAndTheBlueNotes, an influence reflected in more recent performances of the song.

"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding" is a 1974 song written by English singer/songwriter #NickLowe. Initially released by Lowe with his band Brinsley Schwarz on their 1974 album #TheNewFavouritesOfBrinsleySchwarz, the song was released as a single and did not chart. The song was most famously covered by #ElvisCostello and #theAttractions, who recorded a version of the song that was released as a B-side to Lowe's 1978 solo single "American Squirm".
