Every word is published here: organized, labeled, rated G through X, and free to use with name credit. Nothing behind a paywall. This site is a portfolio, an archive, and an open invitation to the right collaborator.

WHO WRITES THIS STUFF?
My name is Tom. I write lyrics. I have been writing them for thirty years. I am not a performer and I do not play an instrument — I write the words, and other people turn my words into songs. So far about 120 of my songs have been made into real recordings, and I have enough finished material for 34 albums and then some. Every lyric on this site is free to use. The only price is attribution: my name stays on my words.
WHY IS THIS SITE BUILT LIKE THIS?
Because I write for four different audiences at once, and my material covers the whole road. On one end I have seven albums that are some of the nicest things you will ever hear. On the other end I have work that is graphic, X-rated, and politically charged. One front door cannot serve all of that honestly — so the site sorts itself by rating before you walk in.
THE RATING TEST
The ratings are not about age. The test is simple: if Johnny got caught with this in class, would he get in trouble? That is it. It is a material rating, not an age rating. Whatever rating you pick below decides how much of the site opens up to you.
THIRTY YEARS AND YOU NEVER HEARD OF ME?
Fair question. The answer is a musician called Lady Weaver — the reason any of this exists in public. Meet Lady Weaver here, video included.
And one more thing: I built Musical Baseball Cards — 391 musicians, scored across ten categories like ballplayers. It is exactly as ridiculous and exactly as serious as it sounds.
