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]
