Walking Wounded is a 1996 album by Everything but the Girl, their ninth studio release. It is their highest charting album to date, reaching number 4 in the UK and number 37 in the U.S.
This was the first album in which the group adopted a more electronic and dance style after the success of the remixed version of "Missing" from their previous album, Amplified Heart.
Several tracks from the album were released as singles, including ' the cinematic drum 'n' bass-pop crossover', "Walking Wounded" (#6 on the Top 40), the 'thumping house', "Wrong" (#8 on the Top 40), and the down tempo "Single" that set Thorn's emotionally direct vocal against breakbeats, organ and strings.

Famous quotes containing the words walking and/or wounded:
“... never, walking away
As light fails, to notice the first star
Pulsing alone in a long shell-coloured sky....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
