| | Them Heavy People Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Religion, and the teachings of Jesus, Gurdjieff, or whomever one believes in, are vehicles that enable us to unleash the powers we hold inside ourselves. | |
| | Running time: 3:05 | |
| | 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: 2:37 (LP mix) | |
| | Etc: A very rare (photo insert) sleeve, this shot is exclusive to this release. | |
| | Etc2: A Seiko logo appears on the insert's back side, which makes it Kate's only commercial release featuring any kind of product endorsement. | |
| | Etc3: This is the only worldwide release of Them Heavy People as an A-side. | |
| | Etc4: Unlike all it's European counterparts, the B-side uses the LP mix of the song. (Elsewhere, it opens with Kate saying "He's here" 6 times.) |
