Lot's of songs with girls' names but couldn't think of a song about a Debby so I wrote one. It's a rock song with just acoustic guitar and voice.

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)

Lyrics
I can show you are the apple of my mind You've been licensed in the art of being kind Everyone that you know knows that you're ok But deeper inside you live for yesterday Is all they know What do they know of you Debby? I've been finding you in the corners of my dreams You've been hiding out in the marshes of dead schemes Every place that you go seems to become the scene But deeper inside you are floating downstream Where did it go Of what they know of you Debby? Are you there in the bright shadows? Are you blending in the meadows? Are you fading in the marrow? Deep inside If it frightens you to know I'm on to you When you really want to be the ingenue Every smile that you conceal will be spreading real soon Every pain you reveal will be chased from the gloom Every heart that you steal will be singing this tune Cause that's how they feel when you enter the room You didn't know what I know of you Debby
