The Statues - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]

Closing time on Saturday it was dark.[00:00:08]

Me and Uncle Samuel were lying in the park,[00:00:11]

Toes towards the moonlight,[00:00:15]

Noses in the flower beds.[00:00:16]

But we know that what we saw, we saw.[00:00:18]

She was naked. She was cast in bronze,[00:00:24]

In bronze,[00:00:26]

Standing in the lake amidst the[00:00:27]

Corporation swans.[00:00:29]

He was millstone grit. He was[00:00:31]

Sir Robert Walpole.[00:00:33]

And we know that what we heard,[00:00:35]

We heard.[00:00:36]

"Lady is the water cold tonight,[00:00:40]

Or does the silky moonlight warm[00:00:43]

Your heart to me?[00:00:45]

Or must I hanker for a hundred years again[00:00:47]

And never-endingly gaze upon your flanks,[00:00:50]

Your face?"[00:00:53]

Well, me and my Uncle Sam, oh Constable, well,[00:00:54]

We were[00:00:59]

Right on her side.[00:01:00]

Poor darling, she was shy and[00:01:02]

She had her pride, and[00:01:05]

Nowhere to hide.[00:01:08]

We were there: we saw the aged sire[00:01:14]

Shaking with a century of petrified desire,[00:01:17]

Climbing from his pedestal all stiff and sooty.[00:01:21]

And we know that what we saw, we saw.[00:01:24]

He began to tremble and to sway-ay-ay.[00:01:30]

We were drunk as penguins but[00:01:33]

We saw him clear as day[00:01:35]

Clumping to the water's edge,[00:01:37]

Sir Robert Walpole,[00:01:38]

And we know that what we heard, we heard.[00:01:41]

"Lady is the water cold tonight?[00:01:46]

Is it the milky moonlight warms my heart to you?[00:01:49]

Well let the devil take the park attendant first![00:01:53]

My heart may burst, so I'm not waiting any longer[00:01:56]

Lady!"[00:01:59]

Me and my Uncle Sam, Inspector, well,[00:02:00]

Then we both got[00:02:05]

To our feet.[00:02:07]

Poor darling she was sweet and not very old,[00:02:09]

And awfully cold.[00:02:14]

We rolled up our sleeves, we got to work,[00:02:22]

Went for him like buffaloes,[00:02:25]

Like windmills goneberserk.[00:02:27]

He fought like a tiger - we've got the scars[00:02:28]

To prove it[00:02:31]

And we know that what we've got we've got.[00:02:32]

We hung on like death, we did our best.[00:02:38]

He was big and gritty and he fought like[00:02:41]

One possessed[00:02:43]

He was much too good for us was[00:02:45]

Robert Walpole,[00:02:46]

He put us down and out and he strode on.[00:02:49]

Lady was the water cold last night?[00:02:54]

Was it the creamy, dreamy moonlight[00:02:57]

Warmed your heart?[00:03:00]

Oh little nymph, we both did what we could,[00:03:00]

But it's so strange: you're infinitely[00:03:04]

Changed today.[00:03:07]

Well, me and my Uncle Sam, your Worship,[00:03:08]

Well, we both feel something's not right:[00:03:13]

Today she wears a smile, her face is alight,[00:03:17]

And her eyes are bright,[00:03:21]

Ever so bright,[00:03:27]

Awfully bright.[00:03:33]
