about

Based on the true story of Joyce Carol Vincent, made into a film “Dreams of a Life” by Carol Morley in 2011.

lyrics

Joyce
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam (2013)


Vivacious, intelligent, seemed to fly high
Constantly searching for just the right guy
Meanwhile the world and his wife walked on by
As she sat there........alone, in her room

Two different people, to world and herself
Outwardly happy, with trappings of wealth
It seemed that she feared being left on the shelf
As she sat there........alone, in her room

[Alone in her room
Alone in her room
How sadly she sits there
Alone in her room]

She never took drugs, and she never drank much
Never requiring assistance as such
(But) Slowly her friends all fell out of touch
As she sat there........alone, in her room

How often she moved on – at least once a year
What was it drove her, what was it she feared?
Even her close friends were not really near
As she sat there........alone, in her room

[]

Just what had happened there, noone can say
All that we know is that one lonely day
Into her (own) shadows she faded away
As she sat there........alone, in her room

Nobody knew that Joyce Vincent had gone
38 years, a lifetime not long
Three years to find, with the TV still on
As she lay there........DEAD, in her room-m-m-m-m-m

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
