The part of "Never Be Mine" that really gets me is where she sings "That 
clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me. But I'm looking back over my shoulder, 
at you happy without me"... I mean, how much more emotional hurting could 
she put into a song (apart from TWW and "Moments of Pleasure")? And I 
must agree about those two songs. BUT I love TSW and TRS, just that those 
are probably my favourite songs off them (or maybe TSW, the song, and 
"Eat the Music"). "Walk Straight Down The Middle" appeals to me too... 
when I first heard the album it stood out so much, and the emotions in 
Kate's voice are great.
