The B-side to the original single was "Walk Straight Down the Middle", a bonus track on the CD and cassette editions of The Sensual World album. The 12-inch vinyl release of the single had a double-grooved A-side so that either the song or an instrumental version of the song would be played depending on where the needle was placed.
Kate Bush later re-recorded the track using words taken from Molly Bloom's soliloquy from James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. Using Joyce's text has been Bush's original intention whilst recording The Sensual World album. This version, re-titled "Flower of the Mountain", appears on the 2011 album Director's Cut.
