It's for Your Own Good (EP)

It's for Your Own Good is the second EP by Australian punk rock band The Living End. It was recorded in June 1996 at Birdland Studio, Melbourne. The lead track, "From Here on In", also provided the name for the band's singles compilation, which was released in 2004. The original cover art featured incorrect formatting of the word "It's" as "I'ts". This was rectified on later re-releases. The EP features a cover of The Cure's "10:15 Saturday Night".

gollark: It actually stops eventually due to ???, but roughly.

gollark: Oh yes, the traffic lights lased speeding things.
gollark: If I had unreasonable amounts of lasers and somehow access to all roads, I would install laßer turtles on each road with PotatOS Orbital LaserOS™ running on them.
gollark: I had a partnership with Keansia to install laser turtles on their roads as traffic lights, but we had too few and they sometimes destroyed roads.
