Epiphany
Decided to post the lyrics to my favorite song in Sweeney Todd: Epiphanyp. Really shows how awesome Johnny Depp is at singing.
His throat was bare beneath my hand
No! I had him!
His throat was there and he'll never come again!
Easy, now. Hush, love, hush. I keep telling you --
When?!
What's your rush?
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 ******
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
Don't 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 Johanna
No, I'll never hug my girl to me - finished!
All right! You, sir! How about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney!
You, sir! Too, sir? Welcome to the grave!
I will have vengeance
I will have salvation
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
Not one man
No, nor ten men
Nor a hundred
Can assuage me
I will have you!
And I will get him back even as he gloats
In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable 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!
Morbid, but the tune and vocals are great.
