Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate

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

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

So step for step and both light on our
We'll travel many dim silent 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 echo of the passing beat
A continual dark of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, the streetlamp fills the gutter with gold
So many priceless bought and sold

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

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

Cos sailors Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ship ragged and 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 factory, waving, bottles ten feet tall

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

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

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the all call and shout
To in particular
Avoiding people you know, you're just in you're own company
The technicolour world's going by, but you're the 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 part of you see

They're coming left and
Trying to flog you stuff you don't 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 to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, it's 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 Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your second coat,
just to float
In little piece of liberty
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 a very sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of noisy and vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an aching sensation to both of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

In the beginning was a of the immigrant
In the was a fear of the immigrant
made his way down to the dark riverside

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

They made home there down by the riverside
They made their 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
Walking and free
And in your second hand
Happy just to
In this little taste of
Cos a part of everything you see
Yes, you're a of everything 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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
