All songs written and produced by Patrick Wolf, except The Bachelor (lyrics adapted from a traditional Appalachian poem called The Turtle Dove). Vaeety Braeu is a traditional Manx Gaelic folk song, arranged and recomposed by Patrick Wolf. The song was written by a man found in a coracle approaching the Isle of Man on a mission to emigrate from Ireland. Legend says this was the song he wrote to help him on his long one-man row across the Irish Sea.
