Falling In Place - Stephen Mcwhirter 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 there's no place like London...
Antony (spoken):
Mr. Todd?
Sweeney Todd:
You are young...
Life has been kind to you...
You will learn.
Sweeney Todd:
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 could 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 lower 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!
Antony (spoken):
It's everything alright Mr.Todd?
Sweeney Todd (spoken):
I beg your indulgance, my mind is far from easy.
For in the once familiar streets I feel a shadows everywhere.
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 nieve.
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!
Antony (spoken):
And 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 aren't spoted me, I've been lost in the ocean still
Antony (spoken)
Can I see you again?
Sweeney Todd (spoken)
You might find me if you like around Fleet street I will wonder...
Antony (spoken)
Until there my friend!
Sweeney Todd (spoken):
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!
