Roxette - Room service

I've just started listening tot his album, after downloading it last night. I can't review it yet, but there are at least a couple of songs with REALLy weird lyrics...this is one of them. Check this out:

"Jefferson"

Jefferson was always out of luck
I remember when we both grew up
Jefferson got hit by a westbound truck
I guess that didn't make him look like a million bucks
That night when Sally really stole the show
And every boy was captured diggin' for gold
Poor old Jefferson was left in the snow

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
Jefferson is always on my mind
When him and me were runnin' out of time
Jefferson was sure enough left behind
The cops came in and took him by surprise
That night when Sally really showed her game
The neighbourhood would never be the same
Poor old Jefferson got the blame

I'm gonna pray for Jefferson
Pray for Jefferson's soul
I do believe he didn't do wrong
I say a prayer for someone I care for
That night when Sally really gave it all
And made us small boys look quite tall
Poor old Jefferson left in the ball

Okay, five more listens later I am started to understand this album. It's lovely so far. It has a freshness to it which I lovely. And there's already a  song, the last one on the album, which will surely remain a classic, like Fading or others. It's called "My world, my love, my life" and it's incredible. Also, "Bringing me down to my knees" "Milk, Toast and Honey", "Little girl" and "Looking for Jane" are super songs. SO far.
