Epiphany


Takatu

198 views

Decided to post the lyrics to my favorite song in Sweeney Todd: Epiphanyp. Really shows how awesome Johnny Depp is at singing.

 

I had him!

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.
