Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the of the Liberty Of Norton Folgate

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

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

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

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

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 steady echo of the passing beat
A dark river of people
In transience and in it's permanence
But, when the streetlamp fills the gutter with
So many priceless bought and sold

So step for step and both light on our
We'll travel many along dim silent (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 where the stare
Out of the upstairs
we are living like kings
And these days will last

Cos from Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ship ragged and penniless Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and wagtails, mothers of midnight
The music hall carousel enspilling out into light
half crazed shadows, giants dancing up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans factory, waving, bottles 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 just walking down to, I'm just down through
you come with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the golem

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

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

coming 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 to flog 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 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 Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little of liberty
You're a part of you see

the sturdy old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's, extortioners
And wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, upon whom death
Had placed a sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of noisy and vivacity
That jars upon the ear
And gives an aching sensation to both 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 of the immigrant
In the beginning was a fear of the
He's made his home there by the dark riverside

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and
And in your hand coat
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 bit of that
A little bit of what you does you no harm
And you know

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
