the songs featured on the ep were all originated from "internationalist". "already gone" was released as a single earlier in 1998 and is the first track. the second track is "private man" which is written about the pressures of celebrities, and draws indirect references to former inxs lead singer michael hutchence. the third song "hindley street" is a song of duality, with the verses complaining of being homesick and the troubles of fame, while the choruses then mock the verses pointing out the luxuries of celebrity. the song is named after a street in a red light district of australian city adelaide. the song also gives its name to a large fan network of powderfinger fans "hindley site".
