This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

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

A little bit of this, would you 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 Burk
and weaving, an invisible line

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

Would you a bit of this, or a little bit of that? (Misses)
A little bit of you like does you no harm, you know that
The steady echo of the passing beat
A continual dark of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, when the streetlamp the gutter with gold
So many priceless items bought and

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

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

Cos sailors from Africa, China and the archipelago of
Jump ship ragged and penniless Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and wagtails, mothers of midnight
The hall carousel enspilling out into bonfire light
Sending crazed shadows, giants dancing up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans 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
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 your own

Cos in the Liberty of Norton
Walking wild and free, in second hand coat,
Happy to float
In little taste of liberty
A part of you see

They're coming and right
to flog you stuff you don't need 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 hard to flog you DVDs
You You've seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's head 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 Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in second hand coat,
Happy to float
In this 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,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon 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 of the immigrant
He's his way down to the dark riverside

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(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 part of you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
