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
Is this my most religious song? Perhaps? Do I actually believe in an intelligent designer? Well it's clear that if there were a designer (he/she/it) would be quite intelligent. So intelligent in fact that he/she/it would not be smiting one tribe over another or getting involved at all in the creatures' lives. Certainly this creator/scientist would look different than the God of the bible. But then where did this guy come from? Well maybe it all started with primordial ooze after all. Hope you get a bang out of this song. My apologies to those who find this my most sacriligious song.
Lyrics
You were there when the big boom banged Just making a world You were there when the gas ignited Making a world You were there when the Qasars moved on Making a world You were there when the matter blew forth Making a world The math is fixed and the day is done Making a world No tricks just phenomenon Making a world The universe is chasing behind you Making a world Expanding and demanding of you Making a world The amino acid project's gone well Making a world No need to make heavon or hell Making a world The math is fixed and the day is done Making a world No tricks just phenomenon Making a world Now where are you when the lights go out? Just making a world And where do I go into the night when I'm making a world I think I'll go and make my stand Just making a world Create meaning in art and life so I'm just making a world Making a world
