[TODD, spoken]
Oh no!
Oh God... "Don't I know you?" she said…
You knew she lived. From the first moment I walked into your shop you knew my Lucy lived!
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
I was only thinking of you.
[TODD]
Lucy
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Your Lucy! A crazy hag picking bones and rotten spuds out of alley ash cans
Would, would you have wanted to know that was all that was left of her?
[TODD]
You lied to me!
[MRS. LOVETT]
No, no, not lied at all
No, I never lied
[TODD]
Lucy…
[MRS. LOVETT, TODD]
Said she took the poison—she did!
Never said that she died
Poor thing! (I've come home again)
She lived—
[MRS. LOVETT]
But it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie therе in bed—
[TODD]
Lucy...
[MRS. LOVETT]
Should've been in hospital
Wound up in Bedlam instеad
Poor thing!
[TODD]
Oh, my God...
[MRS. LOVETT, TODD]
Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cause I love you!
I'd be twice the wife she was! (Lucy)
I love you! What have I done?…
[MRS. LOVETT]
Could that thing have cared for you like me?
[TODD]
Mrs. Lovett
You're a bloody wonder
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly
There's little point in dwelling on the past
[MRS. LOVETT, TODD]
Do you mean it? No, come here, my love...
Everything I did
I swear I thought
Was only for the best Not a thing to fear
Believe me! My love...
Can we What’s dead
Still be Is dead
Married?
[TODD]
The history of the world, my pet—
[MRS. LOVETT]
Oh, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me...
[TODD]
—Is learn forgiveness and try to forget
[MRS. LOVETT]
By the sea, Mr. Todd
We'll be comfy-cozy
You and me, Mr. Todd
Where there's no one nosy…
[TODD]
And life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it!
[MRS. LOVETT & TODD]
Just keep living it
Really living it—!
[TODD flings MRS. LOVETT into the oven and slams the door behind him. He moves back to the BEGGAR WOMAN.]
“Lucy’s Lament”
(LUCY, sung)
In the shadows, I linger, my soul adrift
A fractured melody, a whisper in the night
Benjamin, my love, my lost light
The razors hum, their edges keen
(spoken)
Benjamin, can you hear my fading voice?
(LUCY, sung)
Turpin, the architect of my despair
His lust, a poison that seeped into my veins
I danced with demons, my innocence shattered
And now, I lie here, weak in the head
(spoken)
Turpin, your touch—the mark of damnation
(LUCY, sung)
Johanna, my daughter, my blood
You know me not, but I watch over you
In this twisted tale, where love turns to ash
I fade, I fade, my breath a fragile thread
(spoken)
Johanna, my legacy, my fractured hope
(LUCY, sung)
Benjamin, my love, my phantom
The worst pies in London, they say
But I taste redemption in every crumb
As death’s embrace draws near
(spoken)
Benjamin, forgive me for surviving
(ALL TOGETHER, sung)
Lucy, the beggar woman, the forgotten soul
Her song echoes through the cobblestone streets
In the final act, as shadows converge
We weep, we weep, for Lucy’s lament
“Epiphany”
(SWEENEY TODD, sung)
The razors gleam, their edges keen
As I stand in this blood-soaked chamber
My hands, once artists’ hands, now stained
With vengeance and madness, a lethal combination
(spoken)
Lucy, my lost love, my fractured heart—
Your memory fuels my fury, my purpose
Turpin, the architect of our despair—
His throat, my canvas, awaits my blade
(sung)
“There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it’s filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it…”
(spoken)
Lucy, forgive me. I am no longer Benjamin Barker
I am Sweeney Todd—the Demon Barber of Fleet Street
(sung)
“And I’m happy, I’m happy!”
I sing, I scream, I rage against the heavens
For Lucy, for Johanna, for all the lost souls
Who haunt these cobblestone streets
(spoken)
Lucy, my love, my lamented wife—
I’ll carve my path through darkness
And the world will know my name
