about

The problems of alcoholism, brought on by depression.

lyrics

Alcoholic
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam (2010)


[Eyes blink at the ceiling
Brain inside is reeling
Body has no feeling
Another morning comes]

Once her life had meaning
But then the children leaving
Stopped her self-believing
Soon the problem comes

[]

Struggles to stand steady
Credit card is ready
To purchase potions heady
Waiting 'til it comes

[]

Could not make the meetings
Rarely got a greeting
Husband he was cheating
Still the pain it comes

[]

Stands there in the morning
Nearly ends up falling
Voice is plaintive calling
Hoping someone comes

[]

Daily lives in hell
Sober for a spell
But that's all very well
When no one comes

[]

Now crying for her son
After all he's done
He couldn't save his mum
Even when he comes

[]

Shuffles to the corner
Noone tries to warn her
Noone even mourns her
Now that she has gone!!

about

Thursday's Child UK

Thursday's Child was born on a Monday (August Bank Holiday 2009)!

Chris Pyam and Ken Punshon got together to try out a couple of ideas for songs. That afternoon they created about eight songs; since then over 100 more have emerged, with a few more 'bubbling away'.

Heather Dunn joined us in Nov 13 to contribute additional harmonies during the creation of our third album (Carry My Thoughts).
