Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

But in weather like this, you should wear a coat, a warm hat
A needle and thread the stitches of time
Battling Levinsky versus Jackie
Bobbing and weaving, an line

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

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

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

Once round Circus, and up through Petticoat Lane
Past the of shadows, and once back round again
Arm in arm, with an air
To where the stare
Out of the upstairs
Because we are living like
And these days will last

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

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

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

Purposefully nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the all call and shout
To in particular
Avoiding people you know, you're just 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 wild and free, in second hand coat,
just to float
In this little of liberty
A part of you see

They're left and right
Trying to flog you stuff you don't or want
And a smiling chap takes hand
And drags you in his Uncles
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man trying to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no
And a man's head pops up and
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 Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
Happy to float
In this little piece of
You're a part of you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

In the beginning was a fear of the
In the was a fear of the immigrant
made his way down to the dark riverside

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

They their home there down by the riverside
made their homes there down by the riverside
The city up from the dark mud of the Thames
say it again

(Ha ha ha, right)

in the Liberty of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and
And in your second hand
Happy just to
In little taste of liberty
Cos you're a 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 you like does you no harm
And you know

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
