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 weather like this, you should wear a coat, a warm hat
A and thread the hand stitches of time
Battling versus Jackie Burk
and weaving, an invisible line

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

you like a bit of this, or a little bit of that? (Misses)
A little bit of what you like does you no harm, you know
The steady echo of the passing beat
A continual dark river of
In it's and in it's permanence
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 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 windows
Because we are living kings
And days will last forever

Cos sailors from Africa, China and the of Malay
ship ragged and penniless into Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and wagtails, mothers of midnight
The music hall carousel enspilling out into bonfire
Sending half crazed shadows, giants up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans beer factory, waving, ten feet tall

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

Oh, I'm walking down to, I'm just floating down through
you come with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the Limehouse

Purposefully nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all and shout
To no-one in
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 Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
Happy just to
In little taste of liberty
A of everything you see

They're coming left and
to flog you stuff you don't need or want
And a smiling chap takes your
And drags you in his restaurant
(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 pops 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 and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little piece of
a part of everything you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

They made their there 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)

'Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking and free
And in your hand coat
just to float
In this taste of liberty
Cos you're a part of 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 does you no
And you that

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
