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.

When Shirin cuts my hair
C#m
it’s like a love affair
A F#m
Let those locks fall to the ground
B
or let them stay mid-air
A
I show her my passport
B
what I look like
F#m A
But she just smiles and lets me know
B
it’s gonna be all right
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
When Shirin cuts my hair
her mama's sitting in the rocking chair
She tells me stories from the war
in Iraq cause they were there
Shirin pulls my head to the side
but in the mirror I can see
a tear in her eye
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
A F#m
Your hands are soft
A F#m E
your hands are soft just like silk
E C#m
You're a drop of blood
E C#m A
You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk
A F#m
Your hands are soft
A F#m E
your hands are soft just like silk
E C#m
You're a drop of blood
E C#m B
You're a drop of blood in my glass of milk
E A x2
When Shirin does her magic
to my frizzy straws
Immigration and tax representatives
stumble upon their laws
But what if it reaches the government
that you have a beauty salon
in your own apartment
I won’t tell anyone!
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
I won’t tell anyone!
Shirin Shirin Shirin Shirin
I won’t tell anyone!
