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
This song was written as part of a songwriting exercise at the 2003 Summer SongFest. I received a line and had to build an entire song around it. Try and guess the line...come on... I bet you can't...if you guess correctly you'll win some unspecified item in the future.
Lyrics
In the yellow haze of the room I saw your eyes through the gloom Smoke clings to your face Why don't you get out of this place You only feel desire when you're mean Gaze at ground and keep clean Don't try to indulge just stay lean And laugh until you die in your scene In the damp dark streets of your stage You try to enlist the enraged You cry that you're no longer born And smile as you watch the souls torn You only feel desire when you're mean Gaze at ground and keep clean Don't try to indulge just stay lean And laugh until you die in your scene So this is the end of your play You steal what you can't take away And draw the black curtains of lace Until it erases your face You only feel desire when you're mean Gaze at ground and keep clean Don't try to indulge just stay lean And laugh until you die in your scene And laugh until you die in your scene And laugh until you die in your scene
