Track listing

All Songs Written By James Atkin, Derry Brownson, Mark de Cloedt, Ian Dench & Zac Foley, except where noted.

Hidden track "EMF"

The album contains a large number of samples used to introduce songs.
"Unbelievable" is their best known single. The song includes samples of US comedian Andrew Dice Clay throughout the track.
"I Believe" is preceded by a clip of keyboard player and sampler Brownson smashing a window and yelling his intentions in doing so.
The song "Lies" originally contained a sample of the voice of John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, reciting the lyrics to Lennon's "Watching the Wheels." There was controversy over this from Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, who objected to this sample. As a result, all pressings of Schubert Dip since then have omitted the sample of Chapman's voice.
The song "Girl of an Age" contains a sample of the character Ernie from Sesame Street speaking to his friend Bert.
The song "Longtime" contains a sample of a reading of The Hollow Men by T. S. Eliot.
An uncredited bonus track, previously on the b-side of "Unbelievable," titled "EMF" appears on the Parlophone version of the album after "Longtime." The song contains a sample of the Von Trapp children from The Sound of Music film.
The song "Children" was used as the theme song for the New Zealand music show Pepsi RTR Countdown in the '90s; and peruvian TV Serie Caligula
