On the record liner Liddiard provides the following description for each song:[2]
- "Someone On Your Bond" - name kinda taken from a Blind Willie Johnson song, the last contract you'll ever make.... so don't fuck it up. wait long sessions.
- "Bird In A Church" - people who sing or have sung that dreadful song "sometimes I feel like a motherless child" should be killed. simple. came out as the A-side of a 7" issued by infidelity records 2003ish.
- "She Had An Abortion That She Made Me Pay For" - regrets, I've had a few... Brendon plays bass, Crisso has pneumonia. recorded September 2000 at Cavalier Studios in Research (???). then it just sat there.
- "The Miller's Daughter" - I think a couple of these lines appear in a song "Death on the Installment Plan" by Louis Ferdinand Celine. kind of up back somewhere. it may be part of a real song, who knows. I made the rest up.
- "I Believe" - based on an Alan Vega song of the same name, Coltrane's 'love supreme', a Blind Willie Johnson song I can't recall and a couple of lines some bloke was singing to himself on the street... Warren on drums, Rui on Hammond and Zipzichord, and me and James on guitars. recorded in our lounge room in east perth 1999.
- "Meanstreak" - you can't put a .303 against your forehead without first removing your shoes, everyone knows that. here come the lies sessions.
- "Slammin' On The Brakes" - real showbiz this... I'm talking about the end. oldest trick in the book that one!! a Spencer Jones masterpiece. came out as a B-side to "Bird In A Church" around 2003??
- "Henry Ford" - unfinished recording of an unrecorded, finished song. containing the greatest analogy for the eternal question in song today...... 'G.M.H or Henry Ford?'
- "Stop Dreaming" - name taken from John Lee Hooker song called that or something else.... the best advice in the world really. wait long sessions.
- "The City" - spot where tape runs out. here come the lies sessions.
