    Released: 1997

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".
