about

A woman observed on a tram gave rise to speculation about the reason for her agitation

lyrics

Mysteria
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam (2010)


[Picking, picking, picking, worrying the nail
Showing nervous tension, self confidence is frail
Gabbling at the phone, then texting in despair
Increasing desperation - why is no one there?]

Battered iPod dented, cracked across its face
Smears of oil upon it, torn protective case
Slips the head phones on then rummages for fags
Cannot smoke them on the train; considers it a drag

Dark glasses hide the eyebags the flicking eyes of strain
Frantic-al-ly searching out the window of the train
Searching there for something, she has a frantic need
More phone calls she's trying, her rings they do not heed

[]

Whisky in the handbag she clearly needs a sip
Without it she'll have trouble, finishing this trip
Now munching chocolate mini bites, that's how she gets her fix
Carefully not biting the pins stuck through her lips

Lipstick inches thick is smeared onto her cheek
Whatever else she may be, she's certainly not chic
Mousy dark brown hair, now coloured strawberry-blonde
Of all the numbers that she calls, not one of them responds

[]

While the train is moving she's scratching on the glass
Then hides her face behind her hands to let the stations pass
All the time she's trembling, it's slowly getting worse
Muttering and mumbling, then uttering a curse

What on earth's the problem making her so tense
Exhibiting the stress, so mark-ed-ly intense
Now she's got me wondering, this woman on the train,
Is the problem that's she is cold turkey from cocaine?

Picking, picking, picking, worrying the nail
Showing nervous tension, self confidence is frail
At the end she gets off, is lost to history
Her cause of agitation remains a mystery

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).
