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
The story is in the song...may not be my life but it's my philosophy of life
Lyrics
Thought I won the lottery When it came out four straight nines But when I went to collect the dough Well I forgot to play that time I was slightly disappointed Slightly disappointed Slighly disappointed But I didn't get the blues All my women leave me everytime Had 12 doors slammed in my face But my hearts been broken only twice Ten times I felt only a trace And I was slightly disappointed Slightly disappointed Slighly disappointed But I didn't get the blues Once I had a real fine job I drove a Cadillac Now I take the subway home And I never do look back I was slighly disappointed Slightly disappointed Slighly disappointed But I didn't get the blues I tell you, you could learn from me A lesson real fine Roll with the punches Don't look back And always play straight nines And you'll be slightly disappointed Slightly disappointed Slighly disappointed But please don't get the blues Let's all be slighly disappointed Slightly disappointed Slighly disappointed But I do not get the blues
