Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

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 and thread the hand stitches of time
Battling Levinsky Jackie Burk
Bobbing and weaving, an line

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

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

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

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

Cos sailors Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ship ragged and penniless into Shadwells Bay
The Welsh and Irish wagtails, of midnight
The music hall carousel out into bonfire light
Sending crazed shadows, giants dancing up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans beer factory, waving, bottles ten 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 just floating 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 about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the all call and shout
To in particular
Avoiding you know, you're just basking in you're own company
The technicolour world's going by, but you're the in your own movie

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

They're coming left and
to flog you stuff you don't need or want
And a smiling chap takes hand
And you in his Uncles restaurant
(ee-yar, ee-yar, ee-yar)

There's a 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 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 hand coat,
just to float
In this little piece of
You're a of everything you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

In the beginning was a fear of the
In the beginning was a fear of the
made his way down to the dark riverside

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 ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

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

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
