Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate

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

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

But in weather like this, you should a coat, a nice warm hat
A needle and the hand stitches of time
Battling Levinsky versus Burk
Bobbing and weaving, an invisible

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

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

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

Once round Arnold Circus, and up through Petticoat
Past the of shadows, and once back round again
Arm in arm, an abstracted air
To the people stare
Out of the upstairs
Because we are like kings
And these days will forever

Cos sailors Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ship ragged and penniless into Shadwells Bay
The and Irish wagtails, mothers of midnight
The music hall enspilling out into bonfire light
Sending half crazed shadows, giants up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans factory, waving, bottles 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 floating through
Won't you with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the golem

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

Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy to float
In this little of liberty
A of everything you see

They're coming and right
Trying to flog you stuff you don't need or
And a smiling chap takes hand
And drags you in his restaurant
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man trying hard to 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
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 Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
Happy just to
In little piece of liberty
You're a of everything you see

There's the old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's, extortioners
And wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon whom death
Had placed a very hand,
Some in and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of noisy and vivacity
That discordantly 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 made his way down to the dark

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

He made his there down by the riverside
They made homes there down by the riverside
The city up from the dark river Thames

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
