Florence + The Machine - Swimming

Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore
And deeper into the drink

Pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and I see that it’s you

Take a deep breath, tuck the water in my chest
Cross my fingers and hope for the best
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note,
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
 

And then I realised I was swimming

Can someone explain to me why this is a B-side? It’s better than a lot other songs on Lungs, and definitely one of my favorites from her.
