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. The rear is unique to Sweden. (Sleeve scan courtesy of Bart.)
Etc2:  First pressing discs were made in Sweden.  Later pressings used the same picture sleeve, but had discs manufactured in the UK.
