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: 4:25
Babooshka Lyrics
What it's about: An insecure wife foolishly tests her husband's fidelity by disguising herself and attempting to seduce him. It's a look at our tendency to ruin things for ourselves.
Running time: 3:26
Etc: An edited version of Wuthering Heights was originally released in the US in 1978, backed with Kite. On this reissue, it's the full length LP mix coupled with Babooshka.
Etc2: It is one of only two B-side appearances of Babooshka in the world. (The other is the Polish Army Dreamers single.)
Etc3: It's also the only US appearance of Babooshka on 7" vinyl.
