"Sweetness and Tenderness" is a slow ballad that concludes "''Return of the Rentals''."  The song ends with an unlisted "hidden" track: a short, violin-based instrumental, backed by the same 'space' noise that is featured on the album's opening track, "[[The Love I'm Searching For]]". The song was later re-recorded for 2007's ''[[The Last Little Life EP]]''.  It is significantly longer at 6:27.
