This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

But in weather like this, you should 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 travel many along dim silent

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

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

Once round Arnold Circus, and up Petticoat Lane
Past the well of shadows, and back round again
Arm in arm, with an air
To the people stare
Out of the windows
Because we are living kings
And these days will forever

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

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

Oh, I'm just walking down to, I'm just 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 afternoon, the stallholders all call and shout
To in particular
Avoiding you know, you're just basking 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 second coat,
Happy just to
In little 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 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 pops up and
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
wild and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little of liberty
You're a of everything you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking and free
And in your second coat
just to float
In this little taste of
Cos you're a of everything you see
Yes, you're a part of you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
