| | The Man With The Child In His Eyes Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: A young girl fantasizes about an aging Peter Pan-like character who still retains his childlike innocence. It's one of Kate's earliest works; she began writing it at the age of 14. | |
| | Running time: 2:42 (single mix) | |
| | Moving Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Kate's tribute to her mime instructor, Lindsay Kemp. | |

| | Etc: The Dutch sleeve shown here is identical to the UK version, except for the small catalog number on the front and the color bands on the rear. Sleeves with matte and glossy finishes were both issued in The Netherlands. Matte sleeves appear much darker in tone than the glossy ones. (Scan and information courtesy of Bart.) | |
| | Etc2: The A-side has a slightly different mix than the LP: it opens with Kate saying "He's here" 6 times. |
