Jamie Campbell Bower & Johnny Depp No Place Like London Lyrics

[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]
Mr. Todd?

[Sweeney 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 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 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!

[Anthony]
Is everything alright, Mr. Todd?

[Sweeney Todd]
I beg your indulgence, Anthony
My mind is far from easy
In these once-familiar streets
I feel 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 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!

[Anthony]
And the lady, sir? Did she succumb?

[Sweeney Todd]
Ah, that was many years ago...
I doubt if anyone would know

I'd like to thank you, Anthony
If you hadn't spotted me,
I would be lost on the ocean still

[Anthony]
Will I see you again?

[Sweeney Todd]
You might find me, if you like,
Around Fleet Street, I wouldn't wonder

[Anthony]
Until then, my friend

[Sweeney Todd]
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with s___,
And the vermin of the world inhabit it..
