As soon my co-writer played me the riff in this song my imagination went straight to an alien invasion. I even wrote an alien chant.

Alien Season
Pack up your shit boys
It’s goin down
It’s a good day to die
On this hallowed ground
You’ve seen what they can do
When they get inside of you
Mount up Let’s ride

Chant;
Ensenta halli haley 
Entomba da sen
LaMari band a saye 
Dark Del tooh tha hunday

This day is for heroes 
that die for the one
and fall for the many
Just remember who you are
You fight for the stars

In this alien season
we kill for love and reason
That’s who we are

Ensenta halli haley 
Entomba da sen
LaMari band a saye 
Dark Del tooh tha hunday

Chant: repeat

(I originally wrote the chant in this
song to represent the military chant of 
an alien army marching out to defend their  
home world against impossible odds)
I personally dedicate my part in this song (lyrics, melodies and singing) to the heroic efforts of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Man On A Mission

Believe It True

&#13;

Bass is an Ibanez or something (cheapo)

Guys...She Took Her Damn Helmet Off Again!

This is a fun new track for my album ‘Dragon’s Droppings’. It's a very different kind of breakup song, with a Cuban salsa flavour. Written in collaboration with my friend and guitarist Grant Lucas. Thanks again to our other friends for contributing their exceptional talents to this one. See below for lyrics.

Dave Preston - lead and harmony vocals
Grant Lucas - guitars
Marco Meniconi - bass
T. W. Tobin - drums, percussion, piano, organ, strings, and horns and Spanish spoken word programming

YOUR RESIDUE
Music by G. Lucas & T. W. Tobin. Lyrics by T. W. Tobin.

It all started sliding the day you slithered in
With a girl like you, a guy just can’t win
I had to end the misery, settle up the score
But can’t rid my life of you after booting you out the door
	
Your residue. Had to scrub out all the closets
Your residue. Had to wipe off all the faucets
Your residue. Had to cleanse the Cuisinart
Your residue. Had to Hoover out my heart

Thought you were a soul mate, someone I could trust
Got a two-faced tart with a caustic crust
Sucked in by a siren singing out of tune
To see your ass leaving couldn’t come too soon

Your residue. Had to sanitize the sofa
Your residue. Held last rites for your Loofah
Your residue. Had to pour out all your beers
Your residue. Had to mop up all my tears


[Interlude - Spanish spoken word]

Thought that finding you was too good to be true
But that turned to terror as you twisted in the screw
With love down the toilet I finally broke free
Tried to flush your face, but the dregs of you are still with me

Your residue. I used a microscope to find
Your residue. Every speck you’d left behind 
Your residue. Had to fumigate the bed
Your residue. Contaminates my head

Your residue. The sticky spills of latte
Your residue. The hairy hills of pâté 
Your residue. Greasy globs of makeup
Your residue. Sad remnants of this breakup

Had to scour around the sink while I mixed another drink
Took a full-on bug spray blitz to give your nasty bits a spritz.

Dragon's Droppings

A new mix of this original song the Hop 'N' Barleys recorded back in 2002, which gives the track a lot more punch, clarity and openness, though there are still some issues due to the limitations of the raw tracks. 
Steve Barrodale: vocals
Ken Champoux: guitars
Gwyn Barrodale: bass
T. W. Tobin: drums, engineering, production

Can't Lie To You [2018 mix]

This song explains that love is the driver when we're in it and we're just 'taking our chances in the passenger side'

Love in Drive

Wrote this song about a girl I met in New York City... and what Avenue A looks like at 5AM.

Lyrics:

Wanting your love to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss

Now you’re above feeling it still
Tell me it’s love, tell me it’s real
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

Because this is where I want to be
Where it’s so sweet & heavenly

I’m giving you all my love

Needing you now to come into me
Feeling it slow, over this dream
Touch me with a kiss, feel me on your lips

When you’re above feeling it still
Tell me it’s love, tell me it’s real
Touch me with a kiss, touch me with a kiss...

& when you’re far away I still feel it all
& when you’re far away I still feel it all the same...

Heavenly
