Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton 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 of time
Levinsky versus Jackie Burk
Bobbing and weaving, an invisible

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

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 perpetual steady of the passing beat
A continual dark river of
In transience and in it's permanence
But, when the streetlamp fills the with gold
So many items bought and sold

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

Once Arnold Circus, and up through Petticoat Lane
Past the well of shadows, and once back round
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 Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
ship ragged and penniless into Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and wagtails, mothers of midnight
The music hall carousel enspilling out into light
Sending half crazed shadows, giants dancing up the wall
Of Mr Trumans beer factory, waving, bottles ten tall

one calls it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower Hamlets
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 come me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the Limehouse

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm happy floating about
(Have a banana)
On a afternoon, the stallholders all call and shout
To in particular
Avoiding people you know, you're basking 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 your hand coat,
Happy just to
In little taste of liberty
A part of you see

coming left and right
Trying to you stuff you don't need or want
And a chap takes your hand
And drags you in his Uncles
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody
You know? You've the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's head pops up and
across 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 Norton
Walking wild and free, in second hand coat,
Happy to float
In this little piece of
a part of everything you see

There's the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's,
And wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon whom death
Had a very sure hand,
Some in and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And an aching sensation to both 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 made his way down to the dark

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking and free
And in second hand coat
Happy just to
In this little taste of
Cos a part of everything you see
Yes, a part of everything you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
