about

Not all the highwaymen have yet gone.

lyrics

Special Delivery
Chris Pyam & Ken Punshon (2010)

[He rides the wind, he roams the night
Translucent cloak and steed of white
Haunting sound and eerie light
The spectral highwayman]


Starting life as a minor thief
Drifted like mist on moor and heath
Those he met would come to grief
(They'd) Stand and deliver
[]

For years he ruled the Great North Road
Up to the coaches bold he strode
With pistols drawn (and) then he crowed
(Please) Stand and deliver
[]


The soldiers caught him, hanged him high
Waited there for him die
As he passed they heard him cry
(You'll ) stand and deliver
[]

His ghost's appeared, throughout the years
Preying on the people's fears
Then amidst the floods of tears
(They'd) Stand and deliver
[]

Sometimes seen on the road today
In pouring rain and blinding spray
Listen carefully, he'll still say
Stand and deliver
[]

So take great care behind the wheel
Else your fate he'll surely seal
Your money or your life he'll steal
(You'll ) Stand and deliver
[] (x2)

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).
