Sångtext Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street OST: No Place Like London

No Place Like London


Anthony:
I have sailed the world, beheld it's wonders
From the Dardanelles
To the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London—!
Todd:
No, there's no place like London

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 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 the privileged few,
Making mock of the vermin
In the lower zoo,
Turning beauty into fi lth and greed
I too
Have sailed the world and seen it's wonders,
For the cruelty of men
Is as wondrous as Peru,
But there's no place like London!

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 pious vulture of the law,
Who with a gesture of his claw
Removed the barber from his plate
Th en there was nothing but to wait
And she would fall,
So soft,
So young,
So lost,
And oh, so beautiful!

Todd:
Oh, that was many years ago…
I doubt if anyone would know
Todd:
There's a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And it's fi lled with people
Who are fi lled with shit
And the vermin of the world
Inhabit it…
