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
None really, it just came out amidst many others on a particularly productive day. Can you hear this with a spaced out cello or perhaps a string quartet. Which I had time to add some background vocal tracks.
Lyrics
Hearts to the slaughter You’re the devil’s daughter Part of the fodder In a million fears Fountainhead water Insincere plotter Just check the blotter Of the blood stained tears (tear stained years) Don’t avoid my Sigmund Freud Now you’re annoyed Disregard my Beauregard Just pick a card The ace of clubs around the town He was the groom that you forgot to drown You are the center of the seek and hide So you overide the suicide Clubs to the slaughter You’re the devil’s daughter Around every corner In a million leers Fountain drink water Soda pop order Just check the mortar Of the sweat stained gears Don’t avoid my Sigmund Freud ‘Cause he’s your boy Disregard my Beauregard Just pick a card The ace of diamond’s not amused He’s hiding in the halfway house abused You were the center of the cosmic space But now you’re losing with your human face Spades to the slaughter You’re the devil’s daughter Dig your grave in order To reverse the years Fountain faithful water Dripping ever hotter It’s time to meet your father Down below in tears Down below in tears Down elbow Down below in tears
