This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Whether one it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower 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 Limehouse

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

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

coming left and right
Trying to flog you stuff you need or want
And a smiling chap your hand
And drags you in his restaurant
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, it's black and white, got no sound
And a man's pops up and down
Right across your 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
wild and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy to float
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, whom death
Had placed a very hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling full of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an aching sensation to pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
