There are quite a lot of lyrical connections. Some are obvious and others may be far fetched, but still...

for example in "The Brute Choir":

I cannot rest
with so many singing so many songs
and what a way of singing

-> "Passing Bird":

but I cannot rest
with so many worries
I can't lie down
and say I am done

or in "No More Workhorse Blues": I've written books for you

-> "Sulfur": I could've written books for you

In Slowdive's "40 Days" there is a line that goes "Used to try and watch you"...
