| | Sat In Your Lap Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Man's endless search for knowledge -- which is often limited by his unwillingness to devote the effort necessary to attain it. | |
| | Running time: 3:29 | |
| | James And The Cold Gun Lyrics | |

| | Ne T'enfuis Pas Lyrics (French/English) | |

| | Running time: 2:33 | |
| | Babooshka Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: An insecure wife foolishly tests her husband's fidelity by disguising herself and attempting to seduce him. It's a look at our tendency to ruin things for ourselves. | |
| | Running time: 3:20 | |
| | Suspended In Gaffa Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Seeing something you really want (God in this case), then not being able to see or experience it ever again unless you work very hard. (It's a thematic first cousin to Sat In Your Lap, with a more religious bent.) | |
| | Running time: 3:56 | |
| | Un Baiser D'enfant Lyrics (French/English) | |
| | What it's about: Un Baiser D'enfant is a French language version of The Infant Kiss. Based on the movie The Innocents, it's the story of a governess who is frightened by the adult feelings she has for her young male charge (who is possessed by the spirit of a grown man). | |
| | Running time: 3:00 | |
| | Etc: The Mini LP was released only in the US and Canada. The US version had 5 tracks; the Canadian one included a 6th: Ne T'enfuis Pas. | |
| | Etc2: The Canadian version was issued in 7 different colors: black, blue, green, white, yellow, clear and brown (shown here). I've listed in them in order of rarity; the last 2 are very difficult to find. |
