Lincoln's lyrics further elaborate the themes and surrealistic, wordplay-heavy style of They Might Be Giants, but include more songs about troubled romantic relationships ("Ana Ng", "They'll Need a Crane", "I've Got a Match"), and some songs that verge on social or political satire ("Purple Toupee", "Pencil Rain", "Kiss Me, Son of God"). Lincoln is a more technically polished album than They Might Be Giants, making heavier use of what would become TMBG's signature instrument, Linnell's accordion.
