barry james - the sewers / dog eats dog lyrics

[valjean discovers that marius is still alive and carries him down a manhole into the sewers.]

[thénardier appears in the sewers.]

[thénardier]
here’s a hint of gold
stuck into a tooth
pardon me, monsieur
you won’t be needing it no more
shouldn’t be too hard to sell
add it to the pile
add it to the stock
here among the sewer rats
a breath away from h+ll
you get accustomed to the smell

well, someone’s got to clean ’em up, my friends
bodies on the highway
law and order upside down
someone’s got to collect their odds and ends
as a service to the town

[valjean arrives, carrying marius. valjean collapses. thénardier robs marius.]

here’s a tasty ring
prеtty little thing
wouldn’t want to waste it
that would really bе a crime
thank you, sir, i’m in your debt
here’s a little toy
take it off the boy
his heart’s no longer going
and he’s lived his little time
but his watch is ticking yet
well, someone’s got to clean ’em up, my friends
before the little harvest
disappears into the mud
someone’s got to collect their odds and ends
when the gutters run with blood

it’s a world where the dog eats the dog
where they k!ll for the bones in the street
and god in his heaven, he don’t interfere
’cause he’s dead as the stiffs at my feet
i raise my eyes to see the heavens
and only the moon looks down
the harvest moon shines down

[thénardier, spoken]
ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[valjean recovers, picks up marius and continues through the sewers.]
