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
This is the original 7 minute+ demo of "Tribulations of a Nervous Man" recorded with a casio in my kitchen in the early 90's.The audio quality is pretty good as I stopped recording songs directly to cassette.I think I made up some of the words on the spot and there is a lot of dark sarcastic humor here.The opening lines especially reference a bad childhood memory.
Lyrics
Dead rats in the well Atleast we didn't die of thirst Fire in the farm Always knew that you run first My brain is fresh from electroshock So test me You blew my house down So I crawled under your skin To avoid you I ran into I ran into a bus Cant afford the bill So please just pull the plug The rice krispies are talking to me Don't eat me lets just talk The rice krispies are talking to me Don't eat me can we first talk Talk! I was the coolest cat So dynamite in JJ's hat But I woke up a chia pet I don't know how many days I slept When I needed hope The temple was closed So now I believe when I dream About the phone bill, the psychic made me To avoid you I ran into I ran into a train The train will be moving shortly Sorry for the delay Sleepwalking to a yuppie convention Don't know shit about the stock exchange Sorry for puking on your suit Mr. Gates And Im sick of?? Dead rats in the well Atleast we didn't die of thirst I always knew this was a dead end road Glad to be hear first The lawyer has much bigger fish to fry Not one that is floating dead I fell ten floors to my head Now everything is new on TV again To avoid you I fell into I fell into a pot hole I share my bread with the rats And they leave me alone The room was freezing The bed was shaking Richard Burton held a book I said that sequels suck He said I agree with you And the power of this donut compels you to avoid you I ran into I ran into a moving truck I know that everyone is so busy Someone sweep my body up Out of the i the dentist chair Hanging onto my last tooth Can I help that I held the line? The book is ten years over due I need my bitterness I love crying Tears for both the honey and the bee i want to keep loneliness company I want my emptiness space that cant be bought the voices keep my head company I trust my self-hatred at least I know that I'm shit Oh make the next song a happy one But I come from a mutaion I just learned how to tie my shoes The word love just makes me puke So this is a love song about how much I hate you Dead rats in the well Atleast we didn't die of thoirst Fire in the farm Always knew you run first My brain is fresh from electroshock So test me She blew my house down So I crawled under your skin
