| | Breathing Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: A fetal spiritual being, very much aware of what's going on outside the womb, makes a desperate plea to save mankind from nuclear destruction. Kate says it was inspired by side 3 of Pink Floyd's The Wall. | |
| | 3:00 into the song, there's a narration explaining how nuclear bomb sizes are determined by their flash duration. Here is the text. | |
| | Running time: 4:52 (single mix) | |
| | The Empty Bullring Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: A woman laments her husbands futile obsessions -- he's an injured matador who will not accept the fact that he can no longer fight. | |
| | Running time: 2:16 | |
| | Etc: The German sleeve shown here is the same as the UK version, except the colors are reversed. (Scans courtesy of Tristan Alzial and Boolbar.) |
