Luyện nghe bài hát Overture

This is the story of the Of Norton Folgate

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

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

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

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

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

So step for step and light on our feet
We'll many 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, with an air
To where the people
Out of the upstairs
Because we are living like
And these days last forever

Cos from Africa, China and the archipelago of Malay
Jump ragged and penniless into Shadwells Tiger Bay
The Welsh and Irish wagtails, mothers of
The music hall carousel enspilling out into bonfire
half crazed shadows, giants dancing up the brick wall
Of Mr Trumans beer factory, waving, bottles ten tall

Whether one it Spitalfields, Whitechapel, Tower 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 with me, to the Liberty of Norton Folgate
But wait!
that?
Dan
And the golem

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all call and
To no-one in
Avoiding people you know, 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 taste of liberty
A of everything you see

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

There's a Chinese man trying hard to flog you moody
You know? You've seen the film, it's black and white, got no sound
And a man's head pops up and
Right across 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 to float
In this little of liberty
You're a part of you see

There's the 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 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 down to the riverside

In the beginning was a of the immigrant
In the beginning was a fear of the
made his home there down by the dark riverside

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

They made their home down by the riverside
They made their there down by the riverside
The sprang 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 second 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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
