This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

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

So step for and both light on our feet
travel many along dim silent street

Would you 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 steady echo of the passing beat
A continual dark of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, when the streetlamp fills the gutter gold
So many priceless items and sold

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

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

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

Whether one calls it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower
Or Banglatown. all dancing in the moonlight, we're 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!
that?
Dan
And the Limehouse

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

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

coming left and right
Trying to flog you you don't need or want
And a smiling chap takes your
And drags you in his restaurant
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody
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 your 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 and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy to float
In little piece of liberty
You're a of everything you see

the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's, extortioners
And wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon whom death
Had placed a very hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling full of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That jars upon the ear
And an aching sensation to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
