Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Of Norton Folgate

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

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

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

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

Would you like a bit of this, or a little bit of (Misses)
A little bit of what you like does you no harm, you that
The perpetual echo of the passing beat
A continual river of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, when the streetlamp the gutter with gold
So many items bought and sold

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

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

Cos sailors Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ship ragged and 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

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

Oh, I'm just walking down to, I'm floating down through
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 just about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all and shout
To no-one in
Avoiding people you know, you're just basking in own company
The world's going by, but you're the lead in your own movie

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

They're left and right
Trying to flog you stuff you don't need or
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 DVDs
You know? You've the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
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 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, whom death
Had placed a very hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an sensation to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking and free
And in second hand coat
just to float
In this little of liberty
Cos you're a part of 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 does you no harm
And you know

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
