Artist picture
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
It's the last song I wrote from my most "recent" cd, (as of 2008) which I began recording in 1997 with Men From When and released this year. This is my favorite vocal arrangment on the cd but this version is stripped down with a bit different feel. There are no harmonies here. To here some great harmonies, go to itunes and search it by song title. Mp3 club listeners rated this a 4.3 oout of 5.0.... Comments included: "One of the best songs on the cd, this version isn't as good because it's less interesting" "Neil Young meets acoustic Nivana" "It’s very repetitive, but a more fully produced version can withstand more repetition." "I love this song from cd, and still like it even without all the harmonies and fancy arrangement"
Lyrics
Queen of The Sun I see you dressed in your regal gown, adoring subjects all around Your lovely handmaids by your side, you climb the throne in the gleaming bright You're my little omnipotent one, you're a little vainglorious, hon Your Queen of the Sun I see you with the knight so brave, and to your right, a gentle knave The daylight streaming from your eyes, the flames are flying through the sky You're my little omnipotent one, you're a bit of vainglorious fun Your Queen of the Sun Queen of the Sun (8X) As you rise to take your throne, the crown of fire in the stone Reflects my cap of jester's green, you turn to me a face serene You're my little omnipotent one, you're a little vainglorious, hon Your Queen of the Sun Queen of the Sun (16x) You're sundial shade betrays the time Under your eyes a little line The angle on your golden hair The solar markings are all there Let them eat cake, you're Queen of the Sun
