Jens Martin Lekman (born February 6, 1981 in Angered, Sweden) is a Swedish musician. He has released three 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.
I was slicing up an avocado
When you came up behind me
With your silent brand new sneakers
Your reflection I did not see
It was the hottest day in August
Hey Renee, do you still have your Holden?
That old clunker's golden.
How ’bout we take it for a spin, up and down Lygon?
Listen to music and look at girls,
I want to know if we have the same taste, do you like blondes or brunettes?
I took my sister down to the ocean
But the ocean made me feel stupid
Those words of wisdom I had prepared
All seemed to vanish into thin air
Into the waves I stared
