I know that Ray wrote Tightrope Ride and that Robbie wrote Variety is the Spice of Life and Down on the Farm, but which one(s) wrote the other songs off this album????????

According to Wikipedia, which you could take it or leave it really. They lay out the writing credits like this :

Side one
"In the Eye of the Sun" (Ray Manzarek) – 4:48
"Variety Is the Spice of Life" (Robby Krieger) – 2:50
"Ships w/Sails" (Robby Krieger/John Densmore) – 7:38
"Tightrope Ride" (Ray Manzarek/Robby Krieger) – 4:15

Side two
"Down on the Farm" (Robby Krieger) – 4:15
"I'm Horny, I'm Stoned" (Robby Krieger) – 3:55
"Wandering Musician" (Robby Krieger) – 6:25
"Hang on to Your Life" (Ray Manzarek/Robby Krieger) – 5:36

However it also states that on most LP's the writing credits are Krieger, Densmore, Manzarek
