I take it you bought an American copy.  EMI-America put all of Kate's
old albums into a cheaper line a few years ago, so with rare exceptions
none of her EMI-A albums come with lyrics anymore.  I say "with rare
exceptions" because it's still sometimes possible to find the first
pressings of these albums in stores; these have the lyrics.  Here's
the key to finding these first pressings:

1)  They DON'T say anything like "Price Buster" or "Budget Line", or
anything like that.

2)  They DON'T have a cut-out in the generic cardboard longbox through which
you can see the CD.  Instead, there's a picture of the album on the 
longbox itself.  Only _The Whole Story_, out of all the EMI-A albums,
always comes this way -- but that album NEVER had the lyrics.
