Biography:
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

"When I..."
by Michael Trent
'The Winner'
C
When I... When I was a boy
F C
I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a toy
F Am F
Yeah I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a little baby's toy
G
Oh boy oh boy
C
When I... When I was a man
F C
I shoveled off my boyish ways and set about to learn the best I can
F Am F
But all the wicked ways of this old world were just so hard to understand
G
Oh man oh man
F G Am
But if you're stepping hard you're bound to make some noise
F G C
And if you're cryin' well then I hope you're overjoyed
F G Am
And if you're lacking let me give you what I have
G
'Cause I've got your back
C
On a common path
C F C F Am F G
C
When I... When I was in love
F C
I would count my blessings daily as it seemed they fell upon me from above
F Am F
But somehow time had tricked me to believing that it just wasn't enough
G
And I fucked it up
F G Am
But if you're stepping hard you're bound to make some noise
F G C
And if you're cryin' well then I hope you're overjoyed
F G Am
And if you're lacking let me give you what I have
G
'Cause I've got your back
F C
And I always have
