At the End of the Day - Claude-Michel Schönberg.mp3

[00:36.50]At the end of the day you're another day older
[00:40.05]And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:43.24]It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:45.19]And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:46.92]One more day standing about, what is it for?
[00:51.09]One day less to be living.
[00:53.97]At the end of the day you're another day colder
[00:57.28]And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[01:00.72]And the righteous hurry past
[01:02.56]They don't hear the little ones crying
[01:04.31]And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
[01:08.74]One day nearer to dying!
[01:11.44]At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[01:14.94]And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[01:18.32]Like the waves crash on the sand
[01:20.50]Like a storm that'll break any second
[01:21.97]There's a hunger in the land
[01:23.78]There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
[01:24.98]And there's gonna be hell to pay
[01:28.89]At the end of the day!
[01:30.09]
[01:31.65]Foreman: At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
[01:35.09]Sitting flat on your b**t doesn't buy any bread
[01:37.58]
[01:38.45]Workers: There are children back at home
[01:40.45]And the children have got to be fed
[01:42.02]And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:43.83]And in a bed!
[01:46.21]And we're counting our blessings!
[01:47.59]
[01:50.65]Women: Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:52.66]
[01:54.28]With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
[01:56.22]
[01:57.91]It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[01:59.98]Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[02:02.85]And the boss, he never knows
[02:04.61]That the foreman is always in heat
[02:06.49]If Fantine doesn't look out
[02:08.15]Watch how she goes
[02:10.57]She'll be out on the street!
[02:11.88]
[02:13.37]Workers: At the end of the day it's another day over
[02:16.54]With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[02:20.17]Pay landlord, the pay the shop
[02:21.98]Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[02:24.20]Keep on grafting till you drop
[02:25.64]Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
[02:27.08]You've got to pay your way
[02:30.62]At the end of the day!
[02:31.82]
[02:35.38]Woman: And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:38.97]Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:42.28]Ooh..."Dear Fantine you must send us more money...
[02:44.42]Your child needs a doctor...
[02:45.55]There's no time to lose..."
[02:47.11]Fantine: Give that letter to me
[02:47.98]It is none of your business
[02:50.59]With a husband at home
[02:51.59]And a bit on the side!
[02:54.34]Is there anyone here
[02:55.09]Who can swear before God
[02:56.13]She has nothing to fear?
[02:57.21]She has nothing to hide?
[02:58.20]
[03:06.58]Valjean(as M. Madeleine): What is this fighting all about?
[03:07.96]Will someone tear these two apart
[03:10.65]This is a factory, not a circus!
[03:13.65]Now, come on ladies, settle down
[03:17.22]I run a business of repute
[03:19.15]I am the Mayor of this town
[03:21.72]I look to you to sort this out
[03:23.66]And be as patient as you can
[03:25.36]Foreman: Now someone say how this began!
[03:28.86]Woman: At the end of the day
[03:29.74]She's the one who began it!
[03:31.01]
[03:32.20]There's a kid that she's hiding
[03:33.39]In some little town
[03:35.46]There's a man she has to pay
[03:37.46]You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:39.08]You can bet she's earning her keep
[03:40.83]Sleeping around
[03:43.41]And the boss wouldn't like it!
[03:44.97]
[03:46.03]Fantine: Yes it's true there's a child
[03:47.29]And the child is my daughter
[03:49.85]And her father abandoned us
[03:51.24]Leaving us flat
[03:52.56]
[03:53.49]Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife
[03:55.90]And I pay for the child
[03:56.78]What's the matter with that?
[03:58.12]
[03:59.43]Women: At the end of the day
[04:00.25]She'll be nothing but trouble
[04:02.68]And there's trouble for all When there's trouble for one!
[04:05.76]While we're earning our daily bread
[04:06.95]She's the one with her hands in the butter
[04:09.70]You must send the slut away
[04:11.13]Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[04:12.89]And it's us who'll have to pay
[04:16.27]At the end of the day!
[04:17.42]Foreman: I might have known the ***** could bite
[04:18.91]I might have known the cat had claws
[04:21.04]I might have guessed your little secret
[04:24.19]Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
[04:27.56]Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:29.68]You'd be the cause I had no doubt
[04:31.94]Of any trouble hereabout
[04:33.70]You play a virgin in the light
[04:35.64]But need no urgin' in the night.
[04:37.33]Woman: She's laughing been at you
[04:38.30]While she's having her men
[04:39.18]She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:40.69]Workers: You must sack her You today
[04:41.16]Sack the girl today!
[04:44.17]
[04:45.43]Foreman: Right my girl. On your way!
