Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate

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

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

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 for step and both light on our feet
We'll travel many along dim street

Would you like a bit of this, or a little bit of (Misses)
A little bit of what you like does you no harm, you that
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 priceless items bought and sold

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There's a man trying hard 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 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 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, whom death
Had a very sure hand,
Some in and patches,
Reeling inarticulate of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That jars discordantly the ear
And gives an aching sensation to both pair of
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
