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

Paroles :

MRS. LOVETT:

No, no, not lied at all.
No, I never lied.

TODD:
Lucy...

MRS. LOVETT:

Said she took the poison — she did —
Never said that she died —
Poor thing,
She lived —

TODD:

I've come home again . . .

MRS. LOVETT:

But it left her weak in the head,
All she did for months was just lie there in bed —

TODD:

Lucy. . .

MRS. LOVETT:

Should've been in hospital,
Wound up in Bedlam instead,
Poor thing!

TODD:

Oh, my God . . .

MRS. LOVETT:

Better you should think she was dead.
Yes, I lied 'cos I love you!

TODD:

Lucy...

MRS. LOVETT:

I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!

TODD:

What have I done?...

MRS. LOVETT:

Could that thing have cared for you
Like me?

TODD:

Mrs. Lovett,
You're a bloody wonder,
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always.
As you've said repeatedly,
There's little point in dwelling on the past.

MRS. LOVETT:

Do you mean it?
Everything I did I swear
I thought
Was only for the best,
Believe me!
Can we still be
Married?
No, come here, my love ..
Not a thing to fear,
My love . . .
What's dead
Is dead.

TODD:

The history of the world, my pet —

MRS. LOVETT:
Oh, Mr. Todd,
Ooh, Mr. Todd,
Leave it to me .. .

TODD:

Is learn forgiveness and try to forget.

MRS. LOVETT:

By the sea, Mr. Todd,
We'll be comfy-cozy,
By the sea, Mr. Todd,
Where there's no one nosy ...

TODD:

And life is for the alive, my dear,
So let's keep living it — !

BOTH::

Just keep living it,
Really living it — !

Paroles :

MRS. LOVETT:

Seems a downright shame...

TODD:

Shame?

MRS. LOVETT:

Seems an awful waste...
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's 'is name has...
Had...
Has!
Nor it can't be traced...
Bus'ness needs a lift,
Debts to be erased...
Think of it as thrift,
As a gift,
If you get my drift!

Seems an awful waste...
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is,
When you get it,
If you get it...

TODD:

HAH!

MRS. LOVETT:

Good, you got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!
And a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most!
And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

[Simultaneously]

TODD:

Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion

MRS. LOVETT:

Well, it does seem a waste...

TODD:

Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!

MRS. LOVETT:

It's an idea...

TODD:

Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!

MRS. LOVETT:

Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave,
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!

TODD:

For what's the sound of the world out there?

MRS. LOVETT:

What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?

TODD:

Those crunching noises pervading the air!

MRS. LOVETT:

Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!

TODD:

It's man devouring man, my dear!

BOTH:

And [LOVETT: Then] who are we to deny it in here?

MRS. LOVETT:

It's priest. Have a little priest.

TODD:

Is it really good?

MRS. LOVETT:

Sir, it's too good, at least!
Then again, they don't commit sins of the flesh,
So it's pretty fresh.

TODD:

Awful lot of fat.

MRS. LOVETT:

Only where it sat.

TODD:

Haven't you got poet, or something like that?

MRS. LOVETT:

No, y'see, the trouble with poet is
'Ow do you know it's deceased?
Try the priest!

TODD:

(spoken) Heavenly!
Not as hearty as bishop, perhaps,
but then again, not as bland as curate, either!

MRS. LOVETT:

And good for business, too -- always leaves you wantin' more!
Trouble is, we only get it on Sundays!

Lawyer's rather nice.

TODD:

If it's for a price.

MRS. LOVETT:

Order something else, though, to follow,
Since no one should swallow it twice!

TODD:

Anything that's lean.

MRS. LOVETT:

Well, then, if you're British and loyal,
You might enjoy Royal Marine!
Anyway, it's clean.
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it's been!

TODD:

Is that squire,
On the fire?

MRS. LOVETT:

Mercy no, sir, look closer,
You'll notice it's grocer!

TODD:

Looks thicker,
More like vicar!

MRS. LOVETT:

No, it has to be grocer --
It's green!

TODD:

The history of the world, my love --

MRS. LOVETT:

Save a lot of graves,
Do a lot of relatives favors!

TODD:

Is those below serving those up above!

MRS. LOVETT:

Ev'rybody shaves,
So there should be plenty of flavors!

TODD:

How gratifying for once to know

BOTH:

That those above will serve those down below!

TODD:

What is that?

MRS. LOVETT:

It's fop.
Finest in the shop.
And we have some shepherd's pie peppered
With actual shepherd on top!
And I've just begun --
Here's the politician, so oily
It's served with a doily,
Have one!

TODD:

Put it on a bun.
Well, you never know if it's going to run!

MRS. LOVETT:

Try the friar,
Fried, it's drier!

TODD:

No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy!

MRS. LOVETT:

Then actor,
That's compacter!

TODD:

Yes, and always arrives overdone!
I'll come again when you have JUDGE on the menu!

Have charity towards the world, my pet!

MRS. LOVETT:

Yes, yes, I know, my love!

TODD:

We'll take the customers that we can get!

MRS. LOVETT:

High-born and low, my love!

TODD::

We'll not discriminate great from small!
No, we'll serve anyone,
Meaning anyone,

BOTH:

And to anyone
At all!

Album : Sweeney Todd
Année : 2008
Paroles :

Sweeney Todd

These are my friends.
See how they glisten.
See this one shine...
How he smiles in the light.
My friend.
My faithful friend...
Speak to me friend.
Whisper...
I'll listen.
I know, I know you've been locked
out of sight
all these years, like me
My friend...
well I've come home to find you waiting.
Home, and we're together!
And we'll do wonders.
Won't we?
You there, my friend?

Mrs. Lovett

I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd
If you only knew, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd
You're warm in my hand.
You've come home!
Always had a fondness for you, I did.


Sweeney Todd (simultaneously)

Come let me hold you.
Now, with a sigh, you grow warm in my hand.
My friend!
My clever friend...

Mrs. Lovett

Never you fear, Mr. Todd
You can move in here, Mr. Todd
Mr. Todd, splendors.
You never have dreamed
all your days
will be yours!
I'm your friend
and you're mine!
Don't they shine beautiful?
Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T.

Sweeney Todd (simultaneously)

Rest now, my friends.
Soon, I'll unfold you.
Soon you'll know splendors
You never have dreamed
all you days,
my lucky friends
'Til now your shine was merely silver.
Friends, you shall drip rubies, you'll soon drip precious rubies...
(spoken)
AT LAST! MY RIGHT ARM IS COMPLETE AGAIN!

MRS. LOVETT:

(she kisses Todd)
Ooh, Mr. Todd! (kiss)
I'm so happy! (kiss)
I could (kiss)
Eat you up, I really could!
You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd? (kiss)
What I dream (kiss)
If the business stays as good?
Where I'd really like to go,
In a year or so?
Don't you want to know?

TODD:

(spoken) Yes, yes, of course. (vf : bien entendu)

MRS. LOVETT:

Do you really want to know?

TODD:

(spoken) Yes, I do. (vf : oui, je l'veux)

MRS. LOVETT:

By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet,
By the sea, Mr. Todd, ooh, I know you'd love it!
You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone
In a house wot we'd almost own,
Down by the sea!

TODD:

Anything you say...

MRS. LOVETT:

Wouldn't that be smashing?

MRS. LOVETT:

Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel
When it's just you and me and the English Channel!
In our cozy retreat kept all neat and tidy,
We'll have chums over ev'ry Friday!
By the sea!
Don'tcha love the weather?
By the sea!
We'll grow old together!
By the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!

It'll be so quiet,
That who'll come by it,
Except a seagull
Hoo, hoo!
We shouldn't try it,
Though, 'til it's legal for two-hoo!
But a seaside wedding could be devised,
Me rumpled bedding legitimized!
Me eyelids'll flutter,
I'll turn into butter,
The moment I mutter I do-hoo!

Down by the sea,
Married nice and proper!
By the sea,
Bring along your chopper!
To the seaside,
Hoo, hoo!
By the beautiful sea!
