This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

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

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

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

So step for step and both on our feet
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 does you no harm, you that
The steady echo of the passing beat
A continual river of people
In transience and in it's permanence
But, the streetlamp fills the gutter with gold
So many priceless items bought and

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

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

Cos sailors Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
ship ragged and penniless into Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and wagtails, mothers of midnight
The music hall carousel enspilling out into light
Sending half crazed shadows, giants dancing up the brick
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 walking down to, I'm just floating down through
Won't you come with me, to the of Norton Folgate
But wait!
that?
Dan
And the Limehouse

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all 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 own movie

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

They're coming left and
Trying to flog you stuff you need or want
And a chap takes your hand
And drags you in his Uncles
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a man trying hard to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's head up and down
Right 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 to float
In little piece of liberty
You're a of everything you see

There's the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's,
And night wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon death
Had a very sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling full of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That jars discordantly the ear
And an aching sensation to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

ahhhhhh 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 dark

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Norton
wild and free
And in your hand coat
just to float
In this little taste of
Cos you're a part of 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 like does you no
And you that

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
