Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

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

So for step and both light on our feet
We'll travel many 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 that
The perpetual echo of the passing beat
A dark river of people
In it's and in it's permanence
But, when the streetlamp fills the gutter gold
So priceless items bought 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 once back again
Arm in arm, an abstracted air
To where the stare
Out of the windows
Because we are living like
And these will last forever

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

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

Oh, I'm just walking down to, I'm just floating down
you come with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the golem

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the all call and shout
To in particular
Avoiding you know, you're just basking in you're own company
The technicolour going by, but you're the lead in your own movie

Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy to float
In this taste of liberty
A of everything you see

They're coming left and
Trying to you stuff 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 you moody DVDs
You know? seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's pops up and down
Right across 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 of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your second coat,
just to float
In little piece of liberty
You're a part of you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

In the beginning was a fear of the
In the was a fear of the immigrant
made his home there down by the dark riverside

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

With a bit of this
And a little bit of
A little bit of what you like you no harm
And you know

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
