lyrics

Galilee
Chris Pyam (C) (2010)


[Oh Lord, set me free to walk by the shores of Galilee
And this life is killing me
When will I be free] x2

Work your fingers to the bone
Seems so long since you were home
But the cotton must be in the shed
And you won't get the work done lying in your bed
[]

Stack those bales of cotton high
Ain't no use in asking why
Cos the world will crash down on your head
And you won't get the work done lying in your bed
[]

Bend your back and dig the soil
All your life is sweat and toil
And you need to rest your weary head
But you won't get the work done lying in your bed
[]

Swing that scythe and cut the wheat
Don't think that it's yours to eat
Cos the sheaves are to the altar led
And you won't get the work done lying in your bed
[]

Sunday is the Sabbath day
Ease your bones as down you lay
You can-rest-on the-floor-of the cotton shed
But you won't get the work done lying in your bed
[]

Get down on your knees to pray
Preacher tells you what to say
And you'll go to heaven when you're dead
But you won't get the work done lying in your bed
[] x2
[When will I be free] x3

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). ... more
