This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and free, in second hand coat,
just to float
In this taste of liberty
A of everything you see

coming left and right
Trying to flog you 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 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 head 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 Norton
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little of liberty
a part 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,
Some in and patches,
inarticulate full of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an aching sensation to both pair of
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

in the Liberty of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and
And in second hand coat
Happy to float
In this taste of liberty
Cos a part of everything you see
Yes, you're a of everything you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
