Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
I almost once had a one night stand that instead almost became a relationship. This may almost be a pretty good song. It's for Harriet, wherever she may be. Mp3 listners rated this 3.0 out of 5. Some of their comments included: "shades of Dire Straits" "I like the harmonica" "Sounds like some singer from Minnesota who had some success in the 60's. Sincere and understated as all great songs should be.""Shades of Bob Dylan. I like it and love the lines 'I whisper in her eyes what are really truthful lies'............"
Lyrics
She's in her garden every Saturday night Saying "Romeo come with me" I see her in the balcony in moonlight Saying "Romeo come with me" And I whisper in her eyes What are really truthful lies That her Romeo isn't me Gin and tonic's her corsage The bar is her stage Singing "Romeo come with me" And I am learning the game I must play As she sings "Romeo come with me" And I tiptoe in the night Softly to the window light Knowing Romeo cannot be She's still in her leopard skin gown tonight Singing "Romeo come with me" Her smile is strong and her eyes are bright As she sings "Romeo come with me" Did I wink or whisper in her ear What I really knew she feared? That her Romeo isn't me Her Romeo isn't me
