Jens Lekman is coming to town. It says so right here. To celebrate the moment, I compiled my 10 favorite Jens Lekman song lyrics. And they are..

1) “I picked up a seashell to illustrate my homelessness, but a crab crawled out of it making it useless.” - The Opposite of Hallelujah

2) “I saw on TV about this little kid, who had a pig for a pet. His mom had once been attacked by a dog, so a pig was the closest thing he could get. This has of course nothing to do with anything, I just get so nervous when I’m talking to you.” - Kanske Ar Jag Kar I Dig

3) “Your father is mailing me all the time, he says he just wants to say hi. I send back ‘out of office, auto-replies’.” - A Postcard to Nina

4) “We could fake our deaths to get insurance money and take on hippie names, I’d be Snowphish, you’d be Sunny. We could start a little farm with little white bunnies, just cause watching them copulate is very funny.” - Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo

5) “When I said I wanted to be your dog, I wasn’t coming on to you. I just wanted to lick your face, lick those raindrops from the rainy days.” - When I Said I Wanted to be Your Dog

6) “She said it was all make-believe, but I thought you said maple leaves. And when she talked about the fall, I thought she talked about the season. I never understood at all.” - Maple Leaves

7) “I know why Mona Lisa smiled, Da Vinci must’ve been a really funny guy and laughter is the only way into my heart.” - A Man Walks into a Bar

8) “Yeah I got busted. So I used my one phone call to dedicate a song to you on the radio.” - You Are The Light (By which I Travel into This and That)

9) “F-word, f-word, pardon my French. But it’s B.S., B.S. Can you feel the stench?” - F-Word

10) “Your hands are soft, your hands are soft just like silk. You’re a drop of blood, you’re a drop of blood in my glass of milk.” - Shirin
