Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate

Old Jack Norris, the musical and the cadging ramble...

A little bit of this, you like a bit of that

But in weather like this, you should wear a coat, a nice hat
A and thread the hand stitches of time
Battling Levinsky versus Burk
Bobbing and weaving, an invisible

So step for step and light on our feet
travel many along dim silent street

Would you like a bit of this, or a bit of that? (Misses)
A little bit of what you like does you no harm, you know
The perpetual steady echo of the passing
A continual dark river of
In transience and in it's permanence
But, when the streetlamp fills the gutter with
So many priceless items and sold

So step for and both light on our feet
We'll travel many along dim silent (together)

Once Arnold Circus, and up through Petticoat Lane
Past the well of shadows, and back round again
Arm in arm, with an air
To where the people
Out of the windows
Because we are like kings
And days will last forever

Cos sailors from Africa, and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ship ragged and penniless Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and Irish wagtails, mothers of
The music hall enspilling out into bonfire light
half crazed shadows, giants dancing up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans beer factory, waving, ten feet tall

Whether one calls it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower
Or Banglatown. We're all in the moonlight, we're all
On ground.

Oh, I'm just walking down to, I'm floating down through
Won't you come with me, to the Liberty of Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the Limehouse

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating
(Have a banana)
On a afternoon, the stallholders all call and shout
To no-one in
Avoiding you know, you're just basking in you're own company
The technicolour world's going by, but you're the lead in your own

Cos in the of Norton Folgate
wild and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy to float
In this little taste of
A of everything you see

coming left and right
Trying to flog you you don't need or want
And a smiling chap your hand
And drags you in his restaurant
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man trying hard to flog you DVDs
You know? seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a head pops up and down
across your widescreen TV
(Only a fiver)
('Ow much?)
(Alright, two for quid)
(Ee-yar, ee-yar, look, I'm it away)
(Givin' it away!)

Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in second hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little piece of
You're a of everything you see

the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's, extortioners
And night wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon whom
Had placed a very hand,
Some in and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of noisy and vivacity
jars discordantly upon the ear
And gives an aching sensation to both pair of
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

In the was a fear of the immigrant
In the was a fear of the immigrant
He's made his way down to the riverside

In the beginning was a fear of the
In the beginning was a of the immigrant
He's his home there down by the dark riverside

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

He made his home there down by the
They their homes there down by the riverside
The sprang up from the dark river Thames

They made their home down by the riverside
They made their homes there down by the
The city sprang up from the dark mud of the
I'll say it

(Ha ha ha, right)

in the Liberty of Norton Folgate
Walking and free
And in your hand coat
Happy to float
In this little taste of
Cos a part of everything you see
Yes, you're a of everything you see

a little bit of this
And a bit of that
A little bit of what you like does you no
And you know

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
