Although writing most of the songs, Tarkio used some covers in the recording of Omnibus. "Never Will Marry" and "Mountains of Mourne" (originally "The Mountains of Mourne") are both Irish folk ballads that have been covered by Johnny Cash and Bill Craig respectively. "Goodbye Girl" is a cover of the Squeeze song from their album Cool for Cats.
