Priorities

lyrics

Priorities (53)
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam (2010)

[Get your priorities right, my father used to tell me
Sometimes several times a day
Just let them think, that they're right
No matter what they do(ing), no matter what they say]


Strive for success, (but) don't fall in love with money
To family and your friends be true
Try to a-void violence; and do unto others
As you'd have them do unto you

Always ask the question, why on earth is that then
When you're thinking 'bout something new
Evaluate your options, making a decision, but
To your priorities be true

[]

Make the most of chances, even unexpected
But check a gift horse always has its teeth
If it's too good to be true, it's probably a lie
You must suspend your belief

Things might not always be quite as you expected
Keep questing to try and understand
When you have a problem, keep searching for the answer
Until the solution you command

[]

Dad became quite learn-ed, and had a way of thinking
Of looking at things slightly from one side
This different perspective came in very useful
For taking the unusual in his stride

Since my boyhood years my constant motivation
Has been to understand the reason why
Constantly striving to try and ensure that
The correct priorities apply

[Get your priorities right, my father used to tell me
Sometimes several times a day
Just let them think, that they're right
No matter what they do(ing), no matter what they say
Get your priorities right, my father used to tell me
Sometimes several times a day]

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
