Biografía:
Michael Trent currently functions as the front man and primary songwriter for rock band The Films. He is also 50 percent of the alt gospel/goth country duo Shovels and Rope, and maintains still enough material to have recorded two solo albums.
He bears the pop sensibility of the 60's British invasion, the sardonic wit of Elvis Costello, emotional poigniancy of Elliot Smith, and the Townes Van Zant- like turn of phrase. His lyrics are clever and biting, but can, in very few words, shatter the listeners heart

Kitchen Hallway
Michael Trent/ Shovels & Rope version
Capo on 2nd Fret
C x 4
C Am
I've been stuck inside this house too long
C G
Where my parents used to catch me sneaking out when I was young
F G C Em7 Am
From the kitchen to the hallway where I used to sing my songs
G
When they were gone
C Am
But now I've seen so many things since then
C G
I've seen enemies turn lovers and then just become good friends
F G C Em7 Am
I caught up with some old loved ones and then I just lost touch again
G
Hey how ya been? (I've been travelin' rock n rollin' hey how you been?
G7
I've been workin' havin' children)
F G
All this chasing after sunsets, all this shootin' at the moon
Am Dm
Got us drinkin' from the gutter, pickin' food out of the broom
F G
But it ain't hard to second guess yourself when you're dressin' up a wound
C F Am G C
Ain't that the truth
C Am
Suzy's dressed up in her go out shoes
C G
She takes a walk down by the water every time there's a full moon
F G C Em7 Am
She's broken every heart in town and if you haven't seen her moves
G
You'll see 'em soon
C Am
But I don't mess with her much anyhow
C G
'Cause girls like that were born to build you up then bring you down
F G C Em7 Am
And besides all off those old worries just don't bother me much now
G
Cause I got new ones, tried and true ones, bills pass due ones
G7
Interest accrue ones, hole in my shoe ones
F G
All this up and down the highway all those wasted afternoons
Am Dm
Got us askin a lot of questions, hope to get an answer soon
F G
'Cause if you try to sing too hard, you just start singin' outta tune
C F Am G
And that's what I do ooh ooh ooh
C F Am G
That's what I do ooh ooh ooh
C Am
So now it's grass cocaine alcohol and pills
C G
They might either drag you under or help supplement your bills
F G C Em7 Am
It just depends what you need worse be it the money or the thrills
G G7
Well… I could use both Both!
C Am
'Cause it's been taxi van airport bus and train
C G
These days I can't tell much between em they all start to feel the same
F G C Em7 Am
Just close my eyes and rest my head right up against the window pane
G G7
Like a picture frame Like a self portrait Like another self portrait!
F G
So radio my folks I think we're coming in on fumes And
Am Dm
All this heavy cargo has just capsized our pontoon
F G
So tell the kitchen tell the hallway tell all the other rooms
C F Am G
I'll see ya soo ooh ooh oon x4
