Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

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

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

you like 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 of people
In it's transience and in permanence
But, the streetlamp fills the gutter with gold
So many priceless items and sold

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

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

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

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

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

walking nowhere, oh I'm happy 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 Norton
Walking and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy just to
In little taste of liberty
A of everything you see

They're coming and right
Trying to flog you stuff you need or want
And a smiling chap takes hand
And drags you in his restaurant
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man hard to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, it's black and white, got no sound
And a man's pops up and down
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 your second coat,
Happy just to
In little piece of liberty
You're a of everything you see

There's the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's,
And night wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, whom death
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 to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
