| | Wuthering Heights Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Kate's nod to Emily Bronte's classic romance novel. (More specifically, the ending, where Cathy comes back as a spirit to claim Heathcliff's soul.) | |
| | Running time: 4:26 | |
| | Kite Lyrics | |
| | What it's about: Feeling rooted to the ground, a girl takes to the sky as a kite (but I've always thought it was a thinly veiled drug use metaphor). | |
| | Running time: 3:00 | |
| | Etc: The front sleeve is the same as the UK release, except for the catalogue number in the top right corner and a small, round EMI logo in the bottom right corner. (Sleeve scan and information courtesy of Bart.) | |
