Leonard cohen and Nick Drake vibes. I like it!

The woman standing behind you
Catches the cashier's eye
I'm sorry i don't know what's the matter with me
You answer 
Then you start to cry

You're not in the market for romance
End up on the shelf that's the plan
But still the little glance in the mirror
Before you open the door to the driver
Of the Sainsburys van

Wine-yoga-cigarettes
Lime and soda-lonely
Dating-trust-hating

Now you stare out from portraits
Your eyes in your featureless wall
Time and tradesmen pass them by
Now and then
One gets knocked and falls

Wine-yoga-cigarettes
Lime and soda-only
Waiting-lust-hating

Falls

Al Chamberlain is a north-western English songwriter who lives in Brighton. Compared lyrically to Jarvis Cocker, Alan Bennett and the Montgolfier Brothers, he writes simple songs about the words that tell the stories that paint the pictures that paint a thousand words.

"...poised vocals, understated production, immaculate guitar technique and eloquent songwriting" - Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music

"Chamberlain’s lyrics are leagues above your standard run-of-the-mill singer-songwriter, with all of the wit and understated poeticism of Jarvis Cocker" - Sam Lee, Fresh on the Net

"Better 'n most stuff I hear" - Micah P. Hinson
