Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

Old Norris, the musical 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 needle and thread the hand stitches of
Battling Levinsky Jackie Burk
Bobbing and weaving, an line

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

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

So step for step and both on our feet
travel many along dim silent street (together)

Once round Circus, and up through Petticoat Lane
Past the well of shadows, and once round again
Arm in arm, an abstracted air
To where the people
Out of the windows
we are living like kings
And these days will last

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

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

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

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the all call and shout
To no-one in
Avoiding people you know, you're just in you're own company
The technicolour world's going by, but you're the lead in your own

Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
just to float
In this little taste of
A of everything you see

They're coming and right
Trying to flog you you don't 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, it's got no
And a man's head 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 of Norton Folgate
wild 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 death
Had placed a sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling full of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That jars discordantly the ear
And an aching sensation to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

In the was a fear of the immigrant
In the beginning was a 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 made his home there by the dark riverside

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

With a 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)
