"My Mistakes Were Made for You" is the third single released by The Last Shadow Puppets. It was released on October 20, 2008 in the United Kingdom on Domino Records, featuring three b-sides: a live version of the album track "Separate and Ever Deadly" plus two covers. The US-only 8-song expanded EP was released in digital format on October 21 and on CD on November 4, 2008. The song was inspired by Scott Walker's song "The Old Man's Back Again", off his album Scott 4. The song also appears to glean influences from Noel Harrison's "The Windmills of Your Mind".
