1.	I Can't Imagine What You See In Him 03:53 video	lyrics	buy track
You and I We were two of a kind Or so I thought Well, maybe I was blind Because it didn’t last Just a fleeting affair Now when you’re walking down the street arm in arm I wonder who’s in there Did I know you at all? Oh I can’t imagine what you see in him What does he have that I couldn’t give you? It's like you sought out my antonym I can’t bear to even think of him with you Oh, was it something I should have done? Is he the boy you wanted me to be? Look again at what you could’ve won ‘Cause I’m not him and he’s certainly not me What was I? What was I really to you? A temporary thing? Perhaps a rebound doomed from the start I was oblivious Forever beckoned, it seemed But now I’ve seen you look into his eyes Like you’re living your dream What does all of this mean? Oh I can’t imagine what you see in him What does he have that I couldn’t give you? It's like you sought out my antonym I can’t bear to even think of him with you Oh, was it something I should have done? Is he the boy you wanted me to be? Look again at what you could’ve won ‘Cause I’m not him and he’s certainly not me I can’t imagine what you see in him What does he have that I couldn’t give you? It's like you sought out my antonym I can’t bear to even think of him with you Oh, was it something I should have done? Is he the boy you wanted me to be? Look again at what you could’ve won ‘Cause I’m not him and he’s certainly not me 'Cause I'm not him and he's certainly not me No, I'm not him and he's certainly not me Oh, when you look at him I can't imagine what you see No, I'm not him, but he's where I wanted to be
2.	The Next Train Out Of Here 03:13 video	lyrics	buy track
When it cuts right through When the wound's so visible You want the next train out of here When it tears you apart When it's not just physical You’re on the next train out of here If here ends your rope Stay close to hope There’s still the next train out of here This undoes you, so who do you know? Oh. where are you gonna go? Oh, when the hurt’s so deep The trauma really starts to show Don't lose a moment's sleep There's always somewhere else to go If you can't face those fears With still so many years to go You can shed those tears On the next train out of here Sometimes you'd rather choose lonely over miserable Like on the next train out of here Find yourself a new hometown There be invincible Get on the next train out of here These days are done No battles won Time for the next train out of here Now your heart is numb There's more life to come So, where are you gonna go? Oh, when the hurt’s so deep The trauma really starts to show Don't lose a moment's sleep There's always somewhere else to go If you can't face those fears With still so many years to go You can shed those tears On the next train out of here Sometimes you'd rather choose lonely over miserable

Me & Magdalena has always been a favourite RPP cover for me. Evocative of a dusty road movie, with distant state lines, sunsets, canyons and oceans; a glorious song about love, memories, loss, regrets and the tantalising, unknown possibilities and pleasures of the future. And I love the LDR cover, too! A sensual, fabulous collection of covers. Thanks, Glenn. broseleyimp
