for the right song to return with. McAloon described "Jordan: The Comeback" as "a kind of mini-musical where the pumping bass is both Elvis's hip work and the throbbing of convertibles on endless highways." The verses follow Presley's thoughts (delivered in a Southern drawl) over music intended to sound like a Las Vegas band, while the chorus serves as the spiritual song he returns with ("End of the road I'm travelling, I will see Jordan beckoning"). McAloon chose the River Jordan as the subject of the chorus because he believed Presley felt closest to gospel in his last years. He described the river as a "place of resurrection" and linked it to Presley through his backing vocalists, the Jordanaires. "Jesse James Symphony" and "Jesse James Bolero" came from McAloon's desire to write something Presley might have chosen to record. He felt the singer might have identified with the American outlaw Jesse James and "the pathetic story of a young life wasted". The two songs draw a parallel between the lives and early deaths of the two figures; McAloon felt both "lived a certain kind of life, and maybe envisaged a better end to it than what happened". Jesse was the name of Elvis's stillborn twin brother, another link identified by McAloon. He considered the genre of bolero fitting as it is "a stately dance, but a stately dance going nowhere". "Moon Dog" imagines Colonel Tom Parker staging Presley's surprise comeback concert on the moon ("Guess who's on the moon / Up there a flag will fly for mom and apple pie"). The track samples applause from one of Presley's concerts. Tracks 10–14 (Love songs) Tracks ten through fourteen broadly make up a section of love songs. The upbeat "All the World Loves Lovers" concerns a new relationship with an ambiguous tone influenced by the lyrics of Stephen Sondheim. McAloon spoke of a desire to hear the song covered by Frank Sinatra. The only lyric in "All Boys Believe Anything" is a repetition of the title, a backronym of ABBA. The song has been likened to those from musical theatre by several reviewers. Described as a "stop-start pop track with flourishes of brass", "The Ice Maiden" is about ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog. Having been struck by the Swedish pop group's "frosty glamour" as a teenager, McAloon sought to emulate ABBA's "stiff" lyrical style with lines including "welcome to the glow of
