Inside Per’s head there must be a world full of stories and strange characters (and music of course). We have met some of them already... Cooper, Jefferson, the first girl on the moon, Jane, the girls from Fireworks, etc. What’s your favourite one and why?
My favourite one is Jefferson. I think life wasn’t good for him, poor boy. He was such a loser, but a good friend. He deserved better.

Whenever I hear the song, I always wonder what She’s like.

I think his mother is the strangest character: She wants Ringo for tea in B-any-1-U-wanna-B, but I prefer to have her son for tea instead :-)

What about the reporter girl? Still in Katmandu?
And I’m still wondering about the queen of rain. Did she finally see the sun?

Tiny Tim was mentioned in How Do You Do! - if you didn’t know. :)

adambishop7, I really enjoyed that page you made :-D
Maybe you can add the shy girl from Timida, the same from Vulnerable I guess. “Se esfuma se la ves (she vanishes if you look at her)”. Is she a ghost? a fairy? the invisible woman?
Another recurring... the bed. “This bed is big enough for the both of us”, “50 beds”, “this bed is too big without you”

Hey, and what about telephone...
“I try to call...” “There is a voice on the telephone”
And Sunny? “Sunny called...”
And angels?
“All God’s angels...” “an angel smiled across the room”

Hey, Adam! I just saw it!!! that’s really cool!!!!! you’re so creative! but I know you do!!!!! but next time... *sing* don’t let me be the last to know....
Majdy said on July 16, 2003 06:21:
How about a boy in the cinammon street? (Marie’s version!)
and don’t forget the character in “happy together”.
and about the angels :
snow white angel run and hide (from Never Is A Long Time)

my favorite one is jefferson. i even named my little cat jefferson, unless its a girl. if cooper can be a girl, then jefferson could to, right?

Hey Adam! That’s nice from you! I am on your page, coz I’ve suggested the idea...Many thanks for your thank!

I’ve been looking for another characteristics of Roxworld, and I found out that it is a very rainy place... Waiting for the rain, Queen of rain, Watercolours in the rain, The rain, and more than 10 songs that mention rain. And windy... it’s where the wind blows, when love was wilder than the wind, wilder than light the wind in your eyes led me astray, winds would knock and disappear.
And another character, the girl who’s got the look. She’s really wear (walking like a man, juvenile scam, browned-eye, tasty like a raindrop, etc.). And a nice one, the boy from Small Talk.
Roxlander said on July 16, 2003 14:56:
Ah, I forgot something. I think Sally must be the girl from “What’s she like” or “Cry”, she always stole something (Marie’s lover, the show...)

but i wish you think about me ...before you go to sleep..../ this guy marie’s talking about...or this child who knows?
Roxlander said on July 17, 2003 13:40:
Adam, I’ve got a few more for you.
Characters: The Broken One (lost inspiration in Silver Blue), The Fat One (Harleys).
Current: Stars (I call your name, Neverendig, Fingertips, Cinnamon, Crashing Guitars, What’s she like), Flowers and roses (From one heart, Fading, Crash!, Place your love, Stars, Salvation, Cooper), and of course the color blue (Queen of rain, Silver, Look, Things will never, What’s she, Wish I could, Anyone, Real Sugar).
I think people in Roxworld are very religious (save a prayer for a sinner and a saint, say a prayer for Jefferson’s soul, say a prayer now our love’s departed, God you’d better take care of this gold skinned friend, etc.)
And what about the Cinnamon Songs: na na na na na? They appear in a lot of songs (The Look, Waiting for the rain, Stars, TCOTH).
Hey, what’s your word?
What’s your game?
Crash! Boom! Bang!
That’s the call, that’s the game and the pain stays the same.
Is that the answer to that question then? :-p

how about the girl in Dangerous? she’s armed and extremely dangerous!
Rich-UK said on July 17, 2003 15:13:
My friend was driving a minibus along some small roads in Wales and she had to swerve because of another car coming right towards us - at this point “Listen To Your Heart” had just stopped and the words belted out: “Hold on tight, you know she’s a little bit dangerous”!!! - it’s amazing how Per’s lyrics are so perceptive...

dont forget the great boulevards (wicf) and also trees / parks (wicf, June afternoon etc)
Roxlander said on July 20, 2003 23:41:
Jackeill, I know something about “red”... Red like fire was the day I met you. :-d
Majdy said on July 21, 2003 05:46:
here’s the new URL for Adam’s Rox world :)http://www.postapocalyptic.net/roxworld.htm

I’d love to meet the guy from cinnamon street, and from run to you.
harriej said on July 21, 2003 19:25:
Nice subject!
Good idea to make a website of it, Adam (or is it Majdy?)
Majdy said on July 22, 2003 06:29:
how about Roxworld calendar? they mention : November, June afternoon, December... etc
harriej said on July 22, 2003 21:01:
Thumbs up for both of you.
Keep up the good work.
Is it ok if I put a link to your website on my own website?
royalball said on July 23, 2003 05:09:
I’m certainly a Genius Gone Wrong because I’m a genius and gone is where I belong.
I was actually the inspiration to the song. I wrote that name on the birthday cake and Per said he liked that phrase!
Majdy said on July 24, 2003 08:45:
Adam update his site again :)
http://www.postapocalyptic.net/roxworld.htm/
and don’t forget to visit this one too

Roxlander said on July 24, 2003 18:32:
Adam, I checked that other site and I loved it! Sometimes fans have to look for different ways to share our passion for an artist, and you are very creative. I liked that interpretation of STSK, and I’d like to share mine with you later, and maybe we could do that with other songs.
Ah...I couldn’t access the site of Roxworld :-(
Majdy said on July 25, 2003 04:20:
well, since you told me to, then I HAVE to do that soon :)
@:roxlander : you’re sssooo right. Adam is VERY creative guy! :)

The fat one could also be the fatboy Harley.
Seeing Red is an Expression.

My favourite one is Cooper. She is so lonely and mysterious. Why did she leave? Did she die? And who is the voice on the telephone?
