[00:00.00]The Statues (2006 Remaster) - Jake Thackray
[00:08.03]Closing time on Saturday it was dark
[00:11.56]Me and Uncle Samuel were lying in the park
[00:15.18]Toes towards the moonlight
[00:16.39]Noses in the flower beds
[00:18.68]But we know that what we saw  we saw
[00:24.15]She was naked  She was cast in bronze
[00:26.45]In bronze
[00:27.47]Standing in the lake amidst the
[00:29.66]Corporation swans
[00:31.50]He was millstone grit  He was
[00:33.07]Sir Robert Walpole
[00:34.82]And we know that what we heard
[00:36.57]We heard
[00:40.41]"Lady is the water cold tonight
[00:43.42]Or does the silky moonlight warm
[00:45.46]Your heart to me
[00:46.84]Or must I hanker for a hundred years again
[00:50.30]And never-endingly gaze upon your flanks
[00:53.39]Your face "
[00:54.40]Well  me and my Uncle Sam  oh Constable  well
[00:59.60]We were
[01:00.59]Right on her side
[01:02.97]Poor darling  she was shy and
[01:05.30]She had her pride  and nowhere to hide
[01:14.12]We were there  we saw the aged sire
[01:17.66]Shaking with a century of petrified desire
[01:21.40]Climbing from his pedestal all stiff and sooty
[01:24.79]And we know that what we saw  we saw
[01:30.27]He began to tremble and to sway-ay-ay
[01:33.81]We were drunk as penguins but
[01:35.33]We saw him clear as day
[01:37.44]Clumping to the water's edge
[01:38.97]Sir Robert Walpole
[01:40.90]And we know that what we heard  we heard
[01:46.44]"Lady is the water cold tonight
[01:49.35]Is it the milky moonlight warms my heart to you
[01:52.82]Well let the devil take the park attendant first
[01:56.26]My heart may burst  so I'm not waiting any longer lady "
[02:00.66]Me and my Uncle Sam  Inspector  well
[02:05.32]Then we both got to our feet
[02:09.24]Poor darling she was sweet and not very old
[02:14.16]And awfully cold
[02:22.03]We rolled up our sleeves  we got to work
[02:25.70]Went for him like buffaloes
[02:27.12]Like windmills goneberserk
[02:29.10]He fought like a tiger
[02:30.36]We've got the scars to prove it
[02:32.57]And we know that what we've got we've got
[02:38.10]We hung on like death  we did our best
[02:41.71]He was big and gritty and he fought like
[02:43.96]One possessed
[02:45.28]He was much too good for us was
[02:46.83]Robert Walpole
[02:48.67]He put us down and out and he strode on
[02:54.42]Lady was the water cold last night
[02:57.24]Was it the creamy  dreamy moonlight
[02:59.62]Warmed your heart
[03:00.85]Oh little nymph  we both did what we could
[03:04.18]But it's so strange: you're infinitely changed today
[03:08.33]Well  me and my Uncle Sam  your Worship
[03:13.03]Well  we both feel something's not right
[03:17.44]Today she wears a smile  her face is alight
[03:22.09]And her eyes are bright
[03:27.68]Ever so bright
[03:33.14]Awfully bright
