Notes

The song Jerry Was There is a mildly acerbic observation on Deadheads and refers to Garcia. The lyrics as performed on the album K are as follows;

Oh I'm telling you man
Jerry was there
You could feel his presence everywhere
Oh I'm telling you man
Jerry was there
You could feel his presence everywhere

Jerry was there
Jerry was there
Jerry was there
Jerry was there
I seen him man
Looked me right in the face

Jerry was there

The song Grateful When You're Dead does not refer to the Grateful Dead. Crispian Mills has stated in interviews that it was just a joke title. The song was written and performed before the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995.
I'm painting
I paint a picture in your mind
If you're driving roads to suicide
I know you can sympathise
If your love is a cheatin'
And if you're blinded by the pain
Your honeymoon in summer
Is a picnic in the rain
You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead

I'm shaking
I shake the spear before your eyes
Well if you know your history
You will read between the lines
If you're waiting for a vision
To illuminate your mind
To leave this world of misery
Oh to leave it all behind
You'll be grateful when you're dead
Grateful when you're dead
