Gravesend Trolley is the longtime twisted brain child of one solitary man and his misanthropic machine.
Gravesend Trolley (shortened from Robert Samuels & the Gravesend Trolley) is one solitary man and his computer machine.It is when distorted keyboards & nightmarish loops band together in the dark to create something pretty out of the misery.

Story behind the song
I wanted to capture the feel of summertime shoptlifters.The lyrics inspired by someone from long ago.Musically,the midi keyboards dictated the mood.Which suggested a summery throwback vibe via the beats/loops.Though the chorus contrasts with the verse by being sinister and dark.Like being in a meeting gone bad.
Lyrics
She's in a group For kleptomaniacs The summer heat Ooo cools her sticky hands Tonight she'll slumber Wrapped in satin sheets Next to a gold box Of gourmet sweets Watch her empty out The clothing rack Purple lipstick In her red grab bag Lose the leather gloves Free your sticky hands We all wanted to quit But have you seen the price of eggs? Ch: Shoplifters anonymous This meeting is adjourned Thank you for this fruit basket Of rotten apples crawling with worms She's in a group For kleptomaniacs Mama's got her boy a mitt And her girl a designer hat Mama got somethin' To wear for daddy in bed Have you seen honey The price of eggs? Ch: These impulsive highs To blunt relentless lows Racing our shopping carts Out automatic doors The times that she's been caught You can count on one hand She don't shop anyway In the stores where she is banned Ch: Shoplifters anonymous This meeting is adjourned...
