Soundtrack No Place Like London Lyrics

(Antony)
I have sailed the world
Beheld its wonders,
From the dardinells,
To the mountains of Peru,
But there's no place like London!

(Sweeney Todd)
No place like London...

(Antony - Spoken)
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 could 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 lonely 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!

(Antony - Spoken)
Is everything alright Mr. Todd?

(Sweeney Todd - Spoken)
I beg your indulgence Antony.
My mind is far from easy.
In these once familiar streets I feel, shadows, everywhere.

(Sweeney Todd)
There was a barber and his wife,
And she was beautiful...
A foolish barber and his wife,
She was his reason for 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...

(Antony - Spoken)
And the lady sir, did she, succome?

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

(Sweeney Todd - Spoken)
I'd like to thank you Antony
If you hadn't spotted me, I'd be lost on the ocean still.

(Antony - Spoken)
Will I see you again?

(Sweeney Todd - Spoken)
You might find me if you like.
Around Fleet Street I wouldn't wonder.

(Antony - Spoken)
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!
