Oh! I was talking about the song with cis, we both felt that our gut feeling was that she'd end up heading back to Kansas City on the return train, that she didn't mean to and didn't want to, but that she'd get talked into it somehow, that that was what the song hinted?

Meanwhile, how about Overload? Do the Sugababes get on the train, even they don't know its destination? OK, they know its metaphorical destination. Maybe the whole train is a metaphor! Maybe only Siobhan got on.

Maybe only Siobhan didn't.

What I don't like about "Overload" (a minor quibble really) - the "tension is incredible" bit, which actually diffuses the tension. The tension in "Kansas City" (and most Shangri-Las songs) doesn't diffuse.
