Carly Simon - His Friends Are More Than Fond Of Robin Lyrics
His friends are more than fond of Robin
He doesn't need to compliment them
And always as he leaves he leaves them
Feeling proud just to know him
There's no-one livin' in our lane
Oh yes, folks still live in our lane
But they're not like Robin
Robin, I've never told you
But I'll be yours until we're old
Please learn to call me in your dreams
The way I'm lookin' at you is just as it seems
He's talked about before he gets there
And I wouldn't like to be his alone
But I'm shy and can't demand it
But when Robin gives his love to others
There's no-one living in my heart
Oh yes, I keep others in my heart
But they're not like Robin

Carly Simon His Friends Are More Than Fond Of Robin Comments
Haunting beautiful song. Could never forget it since the day I first listened to this album.
Too bad that the sound level be so weak, although it's basically a smooth and low key piece.
This is about my uncle
Only the people who had a friend that they truly loved would understand this song
Beautiful, so evocative of times long gone.
My mum&dad introduced me to Carly Simon and I am so grateful that they did.
I'd like to think some girl was singing a song like this about me. Hey ho.
Para mi es el mejor tema musical de Carly Simón .aunque figura como cara b del single youre so vain
In particular I like the musical bridges between the verses.
My Mom listened to this when I was a kid. Great memories 😁😊
Carly and I share a birthday with Justice Sotomayor (sp?). Same year, even, with Carly. I'd written a story about a boy named Robin, so this rang close to my heart. I doubt it will ever be published, but eleven other manuscripts have (and counting).
This song, soothes me
What a heavenly voice. Gorgeous woman too
Robin Kondrk where are you, please learn to call me in your dreams 💕
Such a beautiful song, beautifully done by a great singer!
THIS IS " MY FAVORITE SONG " BY THE " GREAT CARLY SIMON " & THIS ALBUM { NO SECRETS ) ) IS " MY FAVORITE ALBUM BY CARLY --- I HAVE " EVERY ALBUM CARLY HAS EVER MADE " !
Had this album in my teens. It was part of coming-of-age.
I love this song so much!
I must now go listen to David's Traction in the Rain
@CBKing Carly wrote this song for Robin Hood of Nottingham, she's singing as the voice of Lady "Maid" Marian...
So it's not about Robin Cable the engineer on this record.
In the 70's, Dad bought us a stereo with speakers that lit up and pulsed to the beat. Older sis got Carly Simon's "No Secrets" for her 13th bday and I would steal it away and listen to this and other older Sister's Beach Boy albums as soon as I would run home from school. Who the hell was Robin? Would I love him too? More importantly, would he love me? Holy Shit! Carly Simon Could Tell a Story and Sing. Thank you Carly Simon!
"Robin" was Jacob Brackman, Carly's co-writer in the early days.
I remember those kind of speakers. I always wanted those. I wonder why on earth they don't make them anymore.
@Themanwhocameback2 You're well aware of things pal ! Hahahaha !!!
Just love this song .
A voice from another place.
@Phillip Smith The music too.
It's possible his friends were more than fond of Robin and robbing.
It's great to have quirky habits & unusual 'rituals' that you don't really think about or plan, like listening to this song repetitively before dawn while there are light snow flurries......happening.
Every Late Winter/Early Spring with Light Snow Flurries in the air I Repeatively play this Carly Soooooper Classic,Especially just before dawn
I remember hearing this song as a kid, and I thought it went, "His friends are more than fond of robbing". That's what happens when you don't look at the record that's playing.
Or when you listen on crappy equipment.
Robin is Batman's apprentice & buddy.
one of the most beautiful & honest songs written in the modeeerrrn era
Classic Carly!
