for rain in summer? ... We get enough rain in winter. We don't want the summer rain. We want the sunshine". The lead single, "Songs from the Sixteenth Floor" was written by Kelly with John Clifforth of Deckchairs Overboard. The next single, "Love Never Runs on Time" was written by Kelly. The lyrics describe a truck driver struggling to meet his commitments to work and family. Kelly uses the same protagonist from "To Her Door" on 1987's Under the Sun and then again in 1996's "How to Make Gravy" from the extended play How to Make Gravy. In the first song, the man moves from being newly married to having children and problems with a drug addiction and undergoing rehab to returning to the family home. By the time of "How to Make Gravy", the man is in prison for assault and is writing a letter to his brother for Christmas. In 2002 Debbie Kruger of Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA) interviewed Kelly and found, "Kelly’s attraction to the theatrical, however unconscious, has meant occasionally a song’s character will pop up again, sometimes unintentionally". Kelly conceded the three songs were linked, I’ve got a feeling it’s the same guy. He keeps coming back'. Maybe he’ll be in a happier place next time? 'Yeah, he’s a bit of a fuck-up, that guy', Kelly laughs". The final single, "God's Hotel" was co-written with Nick Cave. Kelly had read Cave's book of lyrics, King Ink (1988), and found "God's Hotel". When interviewing Cave for a newspaper article in The Age, Kelly asked about the lyrics, Cave said "It's just a blues ... You can use the words if you want". Kelly only used five of twelve verses and adapted the tune from the chords of "Bittersweet" by Hoodoo Gurus. "Everybody Wants to Touch Me" describes how a pregnant woman becomes the object of curiosity, wonder or revulsion, although some believe the song relates to a celebrity being the centre of attention (see Paul Kapsis' cover version). In 2000 Kelly's friend Deborah Conway recorded her version for The Women at the Well tribute album. Kelly noted "I don't like all covers of my songs but I have to say this one's awesome. Absolutely". "Lately" was co-written with Geyer and followed their work on the soundtrack for the ABC-TV mini series The Seven Deadly Sins, Geyer and Kelly sang alongside Vika Bull and Conway for
