This is the story of the Liberty Of Norton

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

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

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

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

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 perpetual steady echo of the beat
A continual dark river of
In it's transience and in permanence
But, when the fills the gutter with gold
So priceless items bought and sold

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

Once round Arnold Circus, and up through Petticoat
Past the well of shadows, and once back again
Arm in arm, with an air
To the people stare
Out of the windows
Because we are living kings
And these days will last

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

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

Oh, I'm just walking down to, I'm just floating through
Won't you come with me, to the of Norton Folgate
But wait!
that?
Dan
And the golem

walking nowhere, oh I'm happy just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all and shout
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 Norton
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
just to float
In this little taste of
A part of you see

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

There's a Chinese man trying hard to you moody DVDs
You know? You've seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no
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
wild and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy to float
In this little of liberty
a part of everything you see

There's the old fellows, pickpockets, dandy's, extortioners
And night wanderers, the feeble, the ghastly, whom death
Had a very sure hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling full of noisy and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an sensation 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 of the immigrant
made his way down to the dark riverside

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Norton
wild and free
And in your hand coat
Happy to float
In little taste of liberty
Cos you're a of everything you see
Yes, you're a of everything you see

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
