Johnny Depp & Jamie Campbell Bower 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 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 pig could spit
And it goes by the name of London
At the top of the hole
Sit a privileged few
Making mock of the vermin
In the lower zoo
Turning beauty into filth and greed
I too
Have sailed the world
And seen its wonders
For the cruelty of men
Is as wondrous as Peru
But there's no place like London

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 succumbs?

Sweeney Todd:
Oh, that was many years ago
I doubt if anyone would know
(spoken)
I'd like to thank you, Anthony.
If you hadn't spotted me,
I'd 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.

(sung)
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
