Details

Teenage Love was a compilation album that collected studio recordings, many just demos, that the band had previously not released. "Hands Out of My Pocket" was originally demoed for the album East and was included in some later reissues of the album as a bonus track. Don Walker later said the song was really only played once and author Jimmy Barnes can be heard yelling out chord changes on the recording.[2]

Glenn A. Baker said the song was inspired by, "a bizarre incident on Christmas Day where a Hare Krishna cousin of Jimmy's conducted a self-immolation rite in a bathtub."[3]
