| | This Woman's Work Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Being forced to suddenly confront reality and adulthood in times of crisis. The track was written for the John Hughes film, She's Having A Baby; specifically, the part where "Jake" (Kevin Bacon) learns his wife's life is in danger. | |
| | Running time: 3:34 | |
| | Be Kind To My Mistakes Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: A woman asks for understanding as she tentatively explores a new relationship. The track was written for the Nicholas Roeg film, Castaway. | |
| | Running time: 3:02 (edited remix) | |
| | 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 UK 12" and CD single also include an additional non-LP track, I'm Still Waiting. Cassingle scan courtesy of Bart. |
