Walking
Ken Punshon & Chris Pyam 2011


Walking down the road
I spied a girl with flaxen hair
Long white dress and shoulders bare
Asked her then if she would care
To stroll along the road

We turned into a lane
Facing me she coyly smiled
Moistened her lips, my heart beguiled
Then heated blood and passion wild
In that shady lane

That day I soon did rue
As she grew large around the waist
Regrets appeared for that love in haste
For retribution I was braced
The consequence I'd rue

Walking down the aisle
Marrying her for the babe that's due
And 'cos the squire, her father, knew
Not a lot that I could do
But walk on down the aisle

Caught in a cul de sac
That lass so fair is fading fast
My love for her is in the past
Looking to escape at last
From that cul de sac

So I-took-a crooked path
Faked my death, that I did drown
Fled the country via the town
Knowing that I'd not come down
Back along that path

Now on a boulevard
Supping glass of cold Chablis
Living life in gay Paris
Rejoicing with my spirit free
On that boulevard

Now walk the avenues
Spying girls with golden hair
Long white dresses and shoulders bare
Wondering how man-y would care
To stroll the avenues
To stroll the avenues

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).
