Indie Pop
Jens Martin Lekman is a Swedish indie pop musician. His music is guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings; the lyrics are often witty, romantic, and melancholic. His work is heavily influenced by that of Jonathan Richman and Belle and Sebastian, and he has been likened to Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields. In 2008, he relocated to Melbourne, Australia.

Nina I can be your boyfriend
so you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is a sweet old man
but it is hard for him to understand
that you wanna love a woman | | Nina I can be your boyfriend
if it puts an end to all this nonsens
First time I see you in Berlin
And you don't tell me anyting
Until outside your dad's apartment | Oh God, Jesus Christ
I try to focus on your eyes
we're having dinner with your family now
keep a steady look at your left eyebrow | | If it's raised, it means yes,
If it's not it means take a guess
Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs
I'm doing my best
can you pass the eggs | Your father puts on my record
He says: So tell me how you met her
I get a little nervous and change the subject
and put my hand on some metal object
He jokes and tells that's a liedetector | | He takes out the booklet and starts reading
So I heard you're moving out next season
I say: Yeah, New York is nice that time of year
almost as green as it is here
He says: I thought you were moving to Sweden? | Oh God, what have I done?
I came to Berlin to have som fun
The clock on the wall strikes four, five, six
on your fathers wall a big crucifix
Guess that's why he won't let you go
His catholic heart is big and slow
you know I'll do anything for love
but Nina what were you thinking of? | | But Nina I can be your boyfriend
So you can stay with your girlfriend
Your father is mailing me all the time
He says he just wants to say hi
I send back "out of office, auto-replies" | Nina I just want to check in
'cause I think about you every second
So I send you this postcard just to say
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Yours truly, Jens Lekman | | Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Don't let anyone stand in your way |
