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, would you 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
Levinsky versus Jackie Burk
Bobbing and weaving, an line

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

Would you like a bit of this, or a little bit of (Misses)
A little bit of what you like does you no harm, you know
The perpetual steady echo of the beat
A continual river of people
In it's and in it's permanence
But, when the fills the gutter with gold
So many priceless bought and sold

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

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

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

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

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

Purposefully walking nowhere, oh I'm just floating about
(Have a banana)
On a Sunday afternoon, the stallholders all and shout
To no-one in
people you know, you're just basking in you're own company
The technicolour world's going by, but you're the lead in own movie

Cos in the Liberty of Norton
Walking wild and free, in your second coat,
just to float
In this little of liberty
A part of you see

They're coming left and
Trying to flog you stuff you don't need or
And a smiling chap takes your
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? seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's pops 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 of Norton Folgate
wild and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little of liberty
a part of everything you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
wild and free
And in your second coat
Happy to float
In this little taste of
Cos you're a part of you see
Yes, a part of everything you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
