Epiphany lyrics

Todd: No I had him!

His throat was there beneath my hand.

I had swear I had him!

His throat was there and now he'll never come again.

Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush

I keep telling you -

Todd: When? Why do I wait?

You told me to wait -

Now he'll never come again.

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit

And it's filled with people who are filled with shit

And the vermin of the world inhabit it.

But not for long...



They all deserve to die.

Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.

Because in all of the whole human race

Mrs Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two

There's the one they put in his proper place

And the one with his foot in the other one's face

Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.



Now we all deserve to die

even YOU Mrs. Lovett, even I.

Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief

For the rest of us death will be a relief

We all deserve to die.



And I'll never see Joanna

No I'll never hold my girl to me - finished!

(shouted) Alright! You sir, you sir, how about a shave?

Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.

You sir, you sir? Welcome to the grave.



I will have vengenance.

I will have salvation.

(shouted) Who sir, you sir?

No one in the chair, come on! Come on!

Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders.

who sir? You sir? - anybody!

Gentlemen don't be shy!



Not one man, no, no ten men.

Not a hundred can assuage me -

I will have you!

And I will get him back even as he gloats

In the meantime I'll practice on dishonorable throats.

And my Lucy lies in ashes

And I'll never see my girl again.



But the work waits!

I'm alive at last!

And I'm full of joy!

Johanna lyrics

Antony



I feel you,

Johanna.

I feel you.

I was half-convinced I'd waken.

Satisfied enough to dream you,

happily I was mistaken,

Johanna.

I'll steal you,

Johanna,

I'll steal you.

Do they think that walls can hide you?

Even now I'm at your window...

I am in the dark beside you,

buried sweetly in your yellow hair!

I feel you,

Johanna!

And one day,

I'll steal you!

'Til I'm with you then,

I'm with you there...

sweetly buried in your yellow hair!

The Worst Pies in London lyrics

Mrs. Lovett



A customer!

Wait! What's your rush?

What's your hurry?

You gave me such a...

fright! I thought you was a ghost!

Half a minute, can't ya sit?

Sit ya down!

Sit!

All I meant is that I haven't seen a customer for weeks.

Did ya come here for a pie, sir?

Do forgive me if my head's a little vague.

Ugh!

What is that?

But you'd think we had the plague.

From the way that people

keep avoiding!

No you don't!

Heaven knows I try, sir!

But there's no one comes in even to inhale!

Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale?

Mind you I can hardly blame them!

These are probably the worst pies in London.

I know why nobody cares to take them!

I should know!

I make them!

But good? No...

The worst pies in London...

Even that's polite! The worst pies in London!

If you doubt it take a bite!



Sweeney Todd (spoken)



Ugh!



Mrs. Lovett (sung)



Is that just, disgusting?

You have to concede it!

It's nothing but crusting!

Here drink this, you'll need it.

The worst pies in London

And no wonder with the price of meat

what it is

when you get it.

Never thought I'd live to see the day.

Men'd think it was a treat

findin' poor

animals

what are dyin' in the street.

Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop.

Does a business, but I notice something weird.

Lately, all her neighbors cats have disappeared.

Have to hand it to her!

What I calls,

enterprise!

Poppin' pussies into pies!

Wouldn't do in my shop!

Just the thought of it's enough to make you sick!

And I'm telling you them pussycats is quick.

No denying times is hard, sir!

Even harder than the worst pies in London.

Only lard and nothing more-

Is that just revolting?

All greasy and gritty?

It looks like it's molting!

And tastes like...we'll pity.

A woman alone...with limited wind

And the worst pies in London!

Ah, sir

Times is hard.

Times is hard.



Sweeney Todd (spoken)



Isn't that a room up there? Over the shop?

If times are so hard, why don't you rent it out? Should bring in something...



Mrs. Lovett (spoken)



Up there? Huh, no one'll go near it.

People think it's haunted.

You see years ago something happened, something not very nice.

No Place Like London lyrics

Antony



I have sailed the world

beheld its wonders

from the dardinells,

to the mountains of Peru,

But there's no place like London!



Sweeney Todd



No place like London...



Antony (spoken)



Mr. Todd, sir



Sweeney Todd



You are young...

Life has been kind to you...

You will learn.

there's a hole in the world, like

a great black pit. and the vermin of the world,

inhabit it. and its morals arent worth,

what a pig could spit.

and it goes by the name,

of london.

at the top of the hole, sit the priveliged

few. making mock of the vermin in

the lower zoo. turning beauty

into filth, and greed i too

have sailed the world and seen

its wonders. for the cruelty of men,

is as wonderous as peru.

but theres no place like london.



Sweeney Todd (spoken)



I beg your indulgance, boy, my mind is far from easy.

For in the once familiar streets I feel a chill of ghostly shadows everywhere.



Anthony (spoken)



shadows?



Sweeney Todd (spoken)



ghosts dear boy.





(sung)

There's a whole in the world like a great black pit

and the vermin of the world inhabit it

and its morals aren't worth what a pin can spit

and it goes by the name of London.

At the top of the hole sit the previlaged few

Making mock of the vermin in the lonely zoo

turning beauty to filth and greed...

I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders,

for the cruelty of men is as wonderous as Peru

but there's no place like London!

--

There was a barber and his wife

and she was beautiful...

a foolish barber and his wife.

She was his reason for his life...

and she was beautiful, and she was virtuous.

And he was nieve.

There was another man who saw

that she was beautiful...

A pious vulture of the law

who, with a gesture of his claw

removed the barber from his plate!

And there was nothing but to wait!

And she would fall!

So soft!

So young!

So lost and oh so beautiful!



Antony (spoken)



The lady, sir, did she succum?



Sweeney Todd (sung)



Ah, that was many years ago...

I doubt if anyone would know.

(spoken)

Now leave me, Antony.

There is somewhere I must go,

something i must find out.

Now, and alone.



Antony (spoken)



But surely we will meet again before I am off to Plymouth?



Sweeney Todd (spoken)



you may find me if you like.

around fleet street i will wander.



Anthony (spoken)



till we meet again my friend.



(sung)

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit

and it's filled with people who are filled with shit!

And the vermin of the world inhabit it!
