    Equus Altus, Leeds, England

    “The High Horses”

    We will fly, to Leeds, oh my!
    Where the cold wind blows
    There is no sun, but it’s still fun
    There’s a stallion there, don’t you know?
    Equus Altus, by Andy Scott, is situated
    Deep in Trinity Leeds‘ beating heart
    He’s the most handsome hunk in the herd
    Caught above some shopping carts
    Can’t you hear him?
    Oh, he neighs so loud
    Casts his wild note over the gobsmacked crowd

    That’s the way it’s gonna be, little darlin’
    We’ll be admiring the horsie, yeah
    Way up in the sky, is this darlin’
    And if he falls he’ll muck you up, muck you up

    You will grow and until you go
    To see Yorkshire’s cloven pride
    And even then whisper the wind
    But don’t try to touch his side
    Or the ropes holding him may become unfurled
    A chubby chap below will cry
    As he watches the giant gelding falling down
    If it lands on him he’ll die
    Oh good, the chubby chap went to Gregg’s for a sensibly-priced sausage roll and the pony missed him
    Equus has plummeted to the ground
    Equus has landed outside the Pound… land

    That’s the way it’s gonna be, little darlin’
    We’ll be admiring the horsie, yeah
    Way up in the sky, is this darlin’
    And if he falls he’ll muck you up, muck you up
