| | This Woman's Work Lyrics | |

| | Running time: 4:25 | |
| | Etc: Originally released on the She's Having A Baby soundtrack in 1988, This Woman's Work was the first track to be completed for the new album. Del Palmer convinced Kate to add it to The Sensual World. | |
| | Etc2: Be Kind To My Mistakes was originally released on the Castaway soundtrack in 1987, so technically, it's not really a non-LP track. But it's not easy to find, and the version that appears on this single is quite different, so I've included it on my Non-LP/CD list. | |
| | Etc3: The limited edition poster sleeve measures 37"x24.5". One side is an enlarged version of the cover image shown above. The other side is shown here. |
