Sweeney Tood Epiphany Lyrics

Antony
Mr Todd you have to help me. Mr Todd please
Sweeney Todd
Out
Antony
Mr Todd
Sweeney Todd
OUT!

Mrs Lovett
All this shouting and running about what's happened?

Sweeney Todd
I had him!
His throat was bare beneath my hand.
No I had him!
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.

Mrs. Lovett
Easy now, hush love hush
I keep telling you -

Sweeney Todd
When? Why did I wait?
You told me to wait -
Now he'll never come again.
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.
But not for long...

They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.

Now we all deserve to die
Even you Mrs. Lovett...even I
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief
We all deserve to die.

And I'll never see Joanna
No I'll never hold my girl to me -(spoken)finished!
Alright! You sir, you sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
You sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave.
(sung)
I will have vengenance.
I will have salvation.
(spoken)
Who sir, you sir?
No one's in the chair, come on! Come on!
Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders.
You sir - anybody.
Gentlemen now don't be shy!

(sung)
Not one man, no, nor ten men.
Nor a hundred can a__uage me -
I will have you
And I will get him back even as he gloats
In the meantime I'll practice on dishonorable throats.
And my Lucy lies in ashes
And I'll never see my girl again.

But the work waits!
I'm alive at last!
And I'm full of joy!
