Story Behind The Song
Bob Hill's Lawn is a song about how we used to make go carts and race them as kids. Our neighbor, Bob Hill would get furious with us when we inevitably raced onto his incredibly massive lawn to avoid a car, each other, or a road rash crash.
Song Description
This song is a modern electro popper. It's based on a riff on delayed guitar laid over electro drums which pulse and build as the vocal weaves a melodic tale about go carting.

Lyrics
V1
I'm gonna make a go cart
to roll on down the hill
have a 3 car pile up
from a broken shopping cart wheel
CHORUS
But how am I gonna slow down
this little ride I'm on, yea
how am I gonna slow down?
Just coast it out on Bob Hill's lawn.
V2
Rebuilt and ready,
jacked up in the rear
yea, it's a 3 wheeled wooded hot rod
that's a bit of a trick to steer
CHORUS
But how am I gonna slow down
this little ride I'm on, yea
how am I gonna slow down?
Just coast it out on Bob Hill's lawn.
V3
Open season on the slowest ride
he's got a curtin rod for an axle.
We give a few bumps as we go by
cause he couldn't beat a tractor.
CHORUS........
(same)
V4 (Bridge)
This year is the fastest model,
were neck and neck all day.
Flyin down the steepest hill,
and at the bottom we always say:
CHORUS
But how am I gonna slow down
this little ride I'm on, yea
how am I gonna slow down?
Just coast it out on Bob Hill's lawn.
Coast it out on Bob Hill's lawn
out on Bob Hills Lawn (X2)
But how am I gonna slow down
this little ride I'm on, yea
how am I gonna slow down?
Just coast it out on Bob Hill's ,
Bob Hill's lawn.
