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

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

Would you a bit of this, or a little bit of that? (Misses)
A little bit of what you does you no harm, you know that
The perpetual steady echo of the beat
A dark river of people
In it's transience and in it's
But, the streetlamp fills the gutter with gold
So many priceless items bought and

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

Once round Arnold Circus, and up through Petticoat
Past the well of shadows, and once back round
Arm in arm, an abstracted air
To where the people
Out of the windows
Because we are living like
And these days last forever

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

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

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

Cos in the Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your hand coat,
Happy just to
In this little of liberty
A part of you see

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

There's a man trying hard to flog you moody DVDs
You know? seen the film, it's black and white, it's got no sound
And a head 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 Liberty of Folgate
Walking wild and free, in your second coat,
Happy just to
In little piece of liberty
You're a of everything you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

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

Ohhhh ahhhhh etc etc

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

They made their home there 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 of Norton Folgate
Walking wild and
And in your second coat
Happy to float
In this little of liberty
Cos you're a of everything you see
Yes, you're a part of you see

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

Ohhhh ahhhhhh etc etc (repeat to end)
