Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

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

So step for step and light on our feet
We'll travel many dim silent street

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

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

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

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

Whether one calls it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower
Or Banglatown. We're all 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 of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the golem

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

Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking and free, in your 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 takes your hand
And drags you in his Uncles
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody
You know? You've seen the film, black and white, it's got no sound
And a head pops 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 wild and free, in your second coat,
Happy to float
In this little of liberty
a part of everything you see

There's the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's,
And night wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon whom
Had placed a sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an aching to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

in the Liberty of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and
And in your second coat
Happy just to
In this little of liberty
Cos you're a of everything you see
Yes, you're a 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)
