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, 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 line

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

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

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

Once round 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 windows
Because we are like kings
And these will last forever

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

Whether one it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower Hamlets
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 Liberty of Norton
But wait!
that?
Dan
And the Limehouse

Purposefully nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all call and
To no-one in
Avoiding people you know, you're just basking in you're own
The technicolour 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 just to
In this taste of liberty
A part of you see

They're coming left and
Trying to you stuff you don't need or want
And a smiling takes your hand
And drags you in his Uncles
(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 black and white, got no sound
And a man's head 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,
just to float
In little piece of liberty
You're a part of you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and
And in your second coat
just to float
In little taste of liberty
Cos you're a part of you see
Yes, you're a part of you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
