Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

Old Jack Norris, the musical 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 nice hat
A needle and thread the hand stitches of
Battling Levinsky versus Jackie
Bobbing and weaving, an invisible

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

Would you a bit of this, or a little bit of that? (Misses)
A little bit of what you like does you no harm, you know
The perpetual steady echo of the passing
A continual river 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 and both light on our feet
We'll travel many dim silent street (together)

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

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

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

Oh, I'm just walking down to, I'm just down through
you come with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the Limehouse

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

Cos in the Liberty of Norton
Walking wild and free, in second hand coat,
just to float
In little taste of liberty
A part of you see

They're coming and right
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 Chinese man trying hard to you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, black and white, it's 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 of Norton Folgate
Walking and free, in your second hand 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 placed a sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of noisy and inordinate
That jars discordantly the ear
And gives an aching sensation to 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 of the immigrant
In the beginning was a fear of the
made his home there down by the dark riverside

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

With a little bit of
And a little bit of
A little bit of what you like you no harm
And you know

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
