Sweeney Todd 2007 Movie - No Place Like London текст песни

Song By Sweeney Todd
Anthony:
I have sailed the world
beheld its wonders
From the Dardanelles to the
Mountains of Peru,
But there's No Place Like London!

Sweeney Todd:
No there's no place like London

Anthony: (spoken) Mr Todd?

Sweeney Todd You are young,
Life has been kind to you
You will learn

[Instrumental]

Sweeney Todd:
There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit and
the vermin of the world inhabit it
and it's morals aren't worth
what a pig could spit
and it goes by the name of London.
At the top of the hole
sit a privileged 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 wondrous as Peru.
But there's No Place Like London!

[Instrumental]

Anthony: (spoken)
Is everything alright, Mr Todd?

Sweeney Todd: (spoken)
I beg your indulgence, Anthony.
My mind is far from easy
In these once familiar streets I feel shadows, everywhere

Sweeney Todd:
There was a barber and his wife
and she was beautiful
A foolish barber and his wife
She was his reason and his life

and she was beautiful,
and she was virtuous
and he was naive.
There was another man who saw
that she was beautiful
A biased vulture of the law,
who with a gesture of his claw
removed the barber from his plate!
Then there was nothing but to wait!
And she would fall!
So soft!
So young!
So lost and oh so beautiful!

Anthony: (spoken)
And the lady, sir.. did she succumb?

Sweeney Todd:
Oh, that was many years ago
I doubt if anyone would know
(spoken)
I'd like to thank you, Anthony.
If you hadn't spotted me, I would be lost on the ocean, still.

Anthony: (spoken)
Will I see you again?

Sweeney Todd:(spoken)
You might find me if you like.
Around Fleet Street, I wouldn't wonder.

Anthony: (spoken)
Till then, my friend

[Instrumental]

Sweeney Todd:
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.
