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
One of a number of songs that came quickly one day in 2002. Like Creation (song #244) t deals with another aspect of existence from an agnostic's experience.
Lyrics
They froze old Walt Disney’s head So that he’d never be quite dead But as for me I’m not wealthy So I don’t have that luxury Oh immortality and me I’d like to see some certainty Beyond decay or preservation The agnostical equivocation My popcorn shrimp and Uncle Mo Have all gone to the space below With digestive juices or by the worm But that’s not what we’re taught to learn Oh immortality and me I’d like to see some certainty Beyond decay or preservation The agnostical equivocation They say that all your need is faith But my mind cannot substantiate I need some proof or certain sign So I’m on the fence until that time Oh immortality and me I’d like to see some certainty Beyond decay or preservation The agnostical equivocation From dust to dust From earth and clay It’s a short life after all they say Soon the World of Tommorrow is passe But Micky and Goofy live today Oh immortality and me I’d like to see some certainty Beyond decay or preservation The agnostical equivocation They froze old Walt Disney So that he’d never be quite dead
