Soundtrack Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street 




Antony

I have sailed the world,


beheld its wonders


from the dardinelles,


to the mountains of Peru,


But there's no place like London!

Sweeney Todd

No, there's no place like London...

Antony 

(spoken)


Mr. Todd?

Sweeney Todd

You are young...


Life has been kind to you...


You will learn.

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 pig 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!


 

Anthony


(spoken)

Is everything alright Mr. Todd?




Sweeney Todd


(spoken)


I beg your indulgence, Antony,


But my mind is far from easy.


And these very streets are 


filled with shadows,


Every last one of 'em.

(sung)


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 naive.

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!


Then there was nothing but to wait!


And she would fall!


So soft!


So young!


So lost 


and oh, so beautiful!

Antony 


(spoken)


Oh!


The lady, sir, did she, sucumb?

Sweeney Todd 


(sung)

Ah, that was many years ago...


I doubt if anyone would know.

(spoken)


I'd like to thank you, Antony.


If you hadn't spotted me,


I'd be lost in the ocean still.

Antony 


(spoken)


Will I see you again?

Sweeney Todd 


(spoken)

You may find me,


If you like,


Around Fleet Street.


I wouldn't wander...

Anthony


Till then, my friend.




Sweeney Todd

(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..
