David’s Statue Lyrics

I'm the piece of rock you bore

An old piece of basalt

To be moulded, even though basalt is hard

You got your trusty chisel and tap tapped away

Chiselled the person you wanted me to be

Tap, Tap

Knock, Knock

Look, You missed a bit there

Can't you do better in school

And from age 23

After I, got my degree

That's when you were nice to me

Unlike David's statue

I ain't no precious stone

Look at where I come from

From your cloth I'm sewn

Tap, Tap

Knock, Knock

Look, You missed a bit there

Can't you do better in school

And from age 23

After I, got my degree

That's when you were nice to me

So parents love their kids

And tell them everyday

I first heard I love ya

Age 28

Tap, Tap

Knock, Knock

Look we're almost there

You're such a worry to me

And from age 23

After I got my degree

That's when you were nice to me

I loved being close to you

We'd sit and talk at night

We'd watch The Chase

I'd turned out better than alright

I know you did the best you could

In the end I made you proud

We were close as adults and I miss you now

You were a first time Mum

And in dying you let me down

When I think of the hard times I push them from my mind

Try to think of how in my heart you really did love me

Chip, Chip, Chip

Gouge, Gouge, Gouge

Just need the body part done

Do you need that ice cream

And from age 23

After I got my degree

That's when you were nice to me

Tap, Tap,Tap

Love, Love, Love

Tap, Tap,Tap

Love, Love, Love

Tap, Tap,Tap

Love, Love, Love

Tap, Tap,Tap

Love, Love, Love
