| • | Running Up That Hill Lyrics | |
| • | What it's about: Gender differences, and how they hamper our ability to understand the opposite sex. The song suggests we should try to resolve the conflicts in our relationships by "swapping places" (looking at the situation from our partner's perspective). | |

| • | Under The Ivy Lyrics | |
| • | What it's about: A girl sneaks away from a party for a clandestine meeting with her lover. | |

| • | Etc: The A-side's original title was A Deal With God (referring to the request to swap genders with one's partner). It was deemed "too controversial" and renamed (but it still lives on as a subtitle on the LP/CD). | |
