Jens Lekman

Jens Martin Lekman (pronounced Yens; born 6 February 1981) is a Swedish musician. His music is guitar-based pop with heavy use of samples and strings, with lyrics that are often witty, romantic, and melancholic. The English lyrics reflect an advanced knowledge of the language and its idioms. His work is heavily influenced by that of Jonathan Richman and Belle & Sebastian, and he has been likened to Stephin Merritt (of The Magnetic Fields), David Byrne, and Scott Walker. more »

The botanical gardens
Are full of newlyweds
Emma pretends to vomit
But Casper looks up and says
"I wouldn't mind if one day
That was you and me"
Emma kisses his mouth and says
"Over my dead body"

But, oh, pumpkin pie
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
It's just scary sometimes
But 'til death and beyond
Baby, you're the one I want

The tram screeches like a dying cat
Flying out of Slottsskogen
Casper takes out a Sharpie
And writes on her hand:
"Every day is a summer's day with you, babe"

There's a guy sitting opposite
Peeking from under his cap
Emma whispers to Casper
"Let's give him something to look at"

Oh, pumpkin pie
I'm gonna love you 'til I die
It's just scary sometimes
But 'til death and beyond
Baby, you're the one I want
You're the one I want
You're the one that I want

Emma turns on the TV
Sees the guy from the tram before
He's on a late night talk show
Some kind of troubadour
They ask him where he gets his stories from
He says, "Well, just today
I saw this couple on the tram
And a story took shape"
How fragile and bold
Isn't young love?
Like skating on a frozen lake
When it's five above

Emma turns off the TV
Looks at Casper yawn
She knows they're more than some characters
In some stupid song

She says 'til death
And beyond
Baby, you're the one I
You're the one I want
