This is the story of the Liberty Of Folgate

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 should wear a coat, a warm hat
A needle and the hand stitches of time
Battling Levinsky versus Burk
and weaving, an invisible line

So for step and both 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 little bit of what you like does you no harm, you that
The perpetual steady of the passing beat
A continual river of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, when the streetlamp fills the gutter gold
So many priceless items bought and

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

round Arnold 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 upstairs
we are living like kings
And these days will forever

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

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

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

Cos in the of Norton Folgate
Walking and free, in your second hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little taste of
A of everything you see

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

There's a Chinese man hard to flog you moody DVDs
You know? You've the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a man's head pops up and
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 Liberty of Norton
Walking and free, in your second hand coat,
just to float
In this little piece of
You're a 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 very hand,
in shreds and patches,
Reeling inarticulate full of and inordinate vivacity
That discordantly upon the ear
And gives an aching to both pair of eyeballs
(Noisy and vivacity)

ahhhhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

(Ha ha ha, right)

'Cos in the Liberty of Norton
Walking and free
And in second hand coat
just to float
In little taste of liberty
Cos a part of everything you see
Yes, a part of everything you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
