Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate

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

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

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

So step for step and light on our feet
travel many along dim silent 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 that
The perpetual steady echo of the beat
A continual dark river of
In it's transience and in permanence
But, when the streetlamp fills the with gold
So many priceless items and sold

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

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

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

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

Oh, I'm walking down to, I'm just floating down through
Won't you with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
that?
Dan
And the golem

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

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

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

a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, it's and white, it's got no sound
And a man's head up and down
Right 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,
just to float
In this little piece of
You're a part of you see

the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's, extortioners
And night wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, whom death
Had a very sure hand,
Some in and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of noisy and inordinate
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 fear of the
In the beginning was a fear of the
He's made his way to the dark riverside

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

He made his home there down by the
They made their homes there by the riverside
The city sprang up 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
I'll say it

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
