Tom Jensen is a 47-year-old lyricist from Salem, MA. Over 29 years he wrote 433 original songs across 34 albums — everything from gentle G-rated love songs to explicit personal narratives, political commentary, grief, humor, addiction, and recovery. The range is the point.
He built collabtunes.com to house all of it — the full catalog, free and accessible — and to launch something bigger: a live collaborative songwriting venue where musicians, audiences, and online participants co-create new songs in real time and share in the profits.
Every lyric on this site is free to use. The one condition: credit the source. That attribution chain is the engine of the whole project.
34 albums: 10 Song Lists (standalone thematic collections) and 24 Set Lists (full-length concept albums). 120 songs have been recorded with verified musicians. The remaining 313 exist as complete lyrics — written, rated, and ready for music and singers.
The catalog is rated G through X. Five entire albums are fully clean and family-safe. The explicit material is clearly labeled. Whatever you're looking for, you can find it — or avoid it.
