This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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

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

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

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

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 perpetual steady echo of the passing
A continual dark of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, when the streetlamp fills the gutter with
So many priceless items bought and

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

Once round Arnold Circus, and up Petticoat Lane
Past the well of shadows, and once back again
Arm in arm, an abstracted air
To where the stare
Out of the upstairs
Because we are living kings
And days will last forever

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

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

Oh, I'm just walking to, I'm just floating down through
you come with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
What's
Dan
And the golem

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

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

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

a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody DVDs
You You've seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's pops up and down
across 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 hand coat,
Happy to float
In this piece of liberty
a part of everything you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and
And in second hand coat
Happy just to
In this little 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 bit of that
A bit of what you like does you no harm
And you know

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
