| | The Big Sky Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Remembering some of the simple pleasures we used to enjoy as children, that we no longer find the time for -- like spending the afternoon looking at the sky, watching the clouds take on shapes. | |
| | Running time: 4:34 (special single mix) | |
| | Not This Time Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: A woman declares her independence from her possessive/domineering/abusive (pick one) lover. | |
| | Running time: 3:41 | |
| | Etc: Although it's called the Special Single Mix, the version of The Big Sky that appears on this disc is virtually identical to the normal LP mix. | |
| | Etc2: The UK & US 12" EPs also include an additional non-LP track: an extended version of The Big Sky called the Meteorological Mix. | |
| | Etc3: Double A-side promotional copies of The Big Sky were also produced (EMI America P-B-8327). They were packaged in stock picture sleeves. |
