Biography:
Jens Martin Lekman (born February 6, 1981 in Angered, Sweden) is a Swedish musician. He has released four albums and several EPs since 2003. His music can be described as guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings, with lyrics that are often witty, romantic, and lachrymose. His work is often compared to that of Stephin Merritt of the The Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman and Morrissey.
Lekman recorded and released much of his material privately from 2000 to 2003 on CD-R.

D Em G D
I was slicing up an avocado when you came up behind me
D Em G D
With your quiet brand new sneakers, your reflection I did not see
D Em G D
It was the hottest day in August and we were heading for the sea
D Em
For a second my mind started drifting,
G D A Em
you put your arms around me
G D A Em
You put your arms around me,
G
You put your arms around
What's spraying on the kitchen sink
What's this I have time to think
I see the tip of my index finger
My mind is slowly creating a link
From your mouth speaks your lovely voice
The best comments I've ever heard
Oh honey you've cut off your finger
I bet that gonna hurt
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around
I must have passed out on the porch
I'd never seen so many bright stars
When I wake up I'm in the waiting room A
At the local ER
My hand is wrapped in toilet paper
And my shirt's all blood red
I see you standing there like an angel
And I say “Baby I must be dead”
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around me
You put your arms around
