Decision time in one man’s struggle with alcohol.
lyrics
Spinning Top
Chris Pyam & Ken Punshon (2010)
As I lay here in the dirt, cuddling a bottle o' booze
I think about the times I've failed, how easy it is to lose
Everything I try, Seems to go awry, Maybe that is why
[My head is spinning around
My soul's in tangles wound
Can't quite think right, Fireworks ignite, Logic's in flight
Cos my head is spinning, spinning,
Head is spinning around]
From the East the brightness comes, a flash of golden sun
Mercy's angel rescues me, my recovery has begun
Sanity regain, The alcohol distain, Become a man again
[My thoughts are spinning around
My soul's in tangles wound
Can't quite think right, Fireworks ignite, Logic's in flight
Cos my thoughts are spinning, spinning,
Thoughts are spinning around]
Over time as we grow close, I start to hope once more
Believing in the happy things the future has in store
Don't ever mis-construe, The love I have for you, Although it may be overdue
[My dreams are spinning around
My soul's in tangles wound
Can't quite think right, Fireworks ignite, Logic's in flight
Cos my dreams are spinning, spinning,
My dreams are spinning around]
On this dark and freezing night, you've gone out for a drive
I've had a premonition that you will not survive
The scene it does forbode, The stream has overflowed, With ice across the road
[The wheel's left spinning around
My soul's in tangles wound
Can't quite think right, Fireworks ignite, Logic's in flight
Cos the wheel is spinning, spinning,
The wheel is spinning around]
Now you've gone my balance is lost, I teeter on the brink
Of sliding down the slippery slope, back into the drink
If my re-solve fails, Go back off the rails, Deciding heads or tails
[The coin is spinning around
My soul's in tangles wound
Can't quite think right, Fireworks ignite, Logic's in flight
Cos the coin is spinning, spinning,
Coin is spinning around
Coin is spinning around
Coin is spinning around
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
