Alms Alms
Beggar Woman

Alms, alms for a miserable woman!
On a miserable chilly morning
Thank ya, sir thank ya

Antony (spoken)

Mam, could आप tell me who’s house this is?

Beggar Woman (spoken)

That? That's the great Judge Turpin's house, that is.

Antony (spoken)

And the young lady who resides there?

Beggar Woman (spoken)

Oh her? That' Johanna, his pretty little ward...
Keeps her snug he does. All locked up.
So don't आप go trespassin' there या it’s a good whipping for you
या any other young man with mischief on his mind!
(sung)
How would ya like a little muff dear
A little jig jig. A little bounce around the bush.
Wouldja like to push me parsley? It looks to me dear that आप got plenty there to push.
Alms! Alms! For a desperate woman!

Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it आप sing?
How can आप jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can आप remain
staring at the rain
maddened द्वारा the stars?
How is it आप sing
anything?
How is it आप sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it आप sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing या merely aloaming?
Are आप discussing?
या fussing?
या simply dreaming?
Are आप crowing?
Are आप screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
गाना to be sold?
Have आप decided it's safer in cages
गाना when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, आप know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.
हे everybody!

I know there's already stories on here of how प्रशंसकों found out about sweeney todd, but i thought id like to share mine.

About seven months ago, like around June, i was looking up twilight parodies/spoofs and came across the hillywood show's twilight parody.(at the time, i didnt really know who they were.) i thought "wow, that was incredible!" so i went 2 their website and started watching their vids. and all of आप who r a big प्रशंसक of johnny depp, you'll प्यार the show. so, i got 2 the sweeney todd episodes. i knew who sweeney todd was but i didnt really know the story. i just, आप know, thought that he was killing people for no apparent reason:P i started to really like the music. that led me to buy the cd. which led me to buy the movie. which then led me 2 buy the movie companion book. when it came out 2 theaters and when i saw the trailers, i didnt pay much attention to it. now i do! oh ya and this was also how i am a big प्रशंसक of johnny depp.

This whole obbsession started one cold winter night sometime in January, i had never heard of Sweeney Todd before या anything about it. i knew Johnny Depp was in a new film with Helena Bonham Carter directed द्वारा Tim बर्टन but i didn't know it was Sweeney Todd.
My friend had seen it and told me of its awsomness and as it had my प्रिय actor, actress and director in it...how could i miss it! So she leant me the DVD.
I got घर at about 9:00pm on a saturday night and thought "oh i have Sweenney Todd, I might as well watch it!" so off i went. i sat down and started the DVD.

After it was finished...

In my opinion Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett made the most dysfunctional couple ever, but in a good way. I loved how Mrs. Lovett had the idea of making pies out of the people that Sweeney Todd had killed.
I would hane to say that Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett put the fun in dysfunctional. I loved how Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett would sing, dance and kill their customers on a daily bases like it was just a job. In my opinion Mrs. Lovett was द्वारा all means the और evil out of the two.
I really felt bad for Mrs. Lovett because she loved Sweeney Todd so much and he did not even notice her. The only time he would pay attention to her was when he needed her to do something for him.
It really is a shame because Mrs. Lovett would have made a great wife for Sweeney Todd that is if he loved her at all because she loved him with all her दिल even though she knew that he did not प्यार her and yet she would do anything for him.

Sweeney looked up from his glass to see Mrs. Lovett slightly smiling.
    “What?” He asked, wanting to know what she was thinking about.
    “Hm?” Mrs. Lovett’s head shot up from being in a daze of memories to look at him. “Oh nothing dear.”
Sweeney knocked back another shot and cringed at the taste. There was silence between the two for a moment. Mrs. Lovett plopped her chin in her hand clearly in thought of something. Finally the silence was broken.
    “Mista T,” she began, “do आप remember my father?”

My friend Rachel and i were talking in Gymnastics class and we got on the subject of Helena Bonham Carter. Rachel asked if i heard of a movie called Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I told her no. So i go घर and tell my mom and dad on Friday after girl scouts my dad says look at what i found and i look and scream SWEENEY TODD आप FOUND IT! he told me he rented it for the weekend so i got घर and watched it. My first thought was Rachel never कहा it was Rated R! i continue and then i see anthony and think is that Helena but i soon saw mrs.lovett and knew it was Helena who was mrs.lovett. A few weeks later my sister mom and i watch it since we bought it my mom couldn't watch him kill people and sister kept saying that had hurt when they went down the shoot. now i can't stop watching it! Helena and Johnny made it amzing.

MRS. LOVETT:

There was a barber and his wife,
And he was beautiful
A proper artist with a knife,
But they transported him for life.
And he was beautiful...

(spoken) Barker, his name was. Benjamin Barker.
TODD: What was his crime?
LOVETT: Foolishness.

He had this wife, y'see,
Pretty little thing,
Silly little nit,
Had her chance for the moon on a string.
Poor thing.
Poor thing.
There were these two, y'see,
Wanted her like mad,
One of 'em a judge, t'other one his beadle!
Every दिन they'd nudge and they'd wheedle!
But she wouldn't budge from her needle!
Too bad,
Pure thing.
So they merely shipped the poor blighter...

THE SOUND OF VIOLENCE

Hello, razor, my old friend,
I've come to brandish आप again,
Judge Turpin sent me to Australia,
Oh, my sweet Lucy, how I failed ya,
And the bloodlust that's now burning in my brain,
Still remains
I hear the sound...of violence.

In the South Sea I swam alone,
So thin that I was skin and bone,
A sailor saved me from the ocean,
Soon my revenge was put in motion,
London greeted me with the utter sense of gloom,
In which it loomed,
And in the sound...of violence.

Judge Turpin came in to get groomed,
I vowed that he was truly doomed,
Damn Anthony for interrupting...

After Nellie's dramatic explanation of why she didn't tell him his wife had lived, poor, miserable Sweeney decided that he needed someone to fill his empty heart, even if she was insane. They danced, sang, moved away, and lived happily in a sick, twisted way. Sweeney Todd was never the same, but he was a bit happier with Nellie द्वारा his side. They had two children, 2 dogs, and a cat. the whole family lived together until their children went to college. then, Nellie ans Sweeney died at the same age, 102.

Well It "started" off at this place called great Yarmouth me and my brothers Jo and Calum and also mum went to the "waxworks" and then we went to the horror part there was other people and stuff aswell द्वारा the way and well,there he was he is soo "cute"!! I fell in !"love" with him at the start so it was प्यार at first sight I "LOVE" HIM!!! (By the way I "HATE" "Mrs Lovett" he is "MINE"!!)P.S Sorry about the spelling mistakes if there was any. PLEASE टिप्पणी दे द्वारा THE WAY CHEERS :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
I know lots of fans, such big प्रशंसकों that they know EVERYTHING, then sadly they come across a quiz. How many years have Johnny Depp and Tim Buirton been working together? When I saw that I felt crazy, umm....15 years? 4? I chose one and got it wrong, but heres my thought.

You think आप know everything, आप do, That सवाल and alot of quizes on फैन्पॉप say how many years have they worked together, BUT! Thats not a सवाल that has to do with Sweeney Todd!!!
It has to do with Tim and Johnny!
So if आप get सवालों about Tim या Johnny या Helena wrong, but आप get the ones about the movie, आप know...

Turning Back the Hands of Time
    Only one small candle illuminated the room as the barber pressed upon the peddle of his chair, dropping his last “customer” to the bakehouse below him. Today had been rather rough. The crowds came in larger groups than they had during the पूर्व days of the week. His neck ached and his arms fell limp as he sat down for a moment in his chair. He sighed deeply as the pain in his neck increased. लंडन seemed to be the same every time night crept in. Only the low life would come out at night either drunk या in खोजिए of food. The barber’s...

I feel you, Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
buried sweetly in your yellow hair,
Johanna

And are आप beautiful and pale, with yellow hair, like her?
I'd want आप beautiful and pale, the way I've dreamed आप were,
Johanna
And if you're beautiful what then with yellow hair, like wheat
I think we shall not meet again my little dove, my sweet
Johanna

I'll steal you, Johanna

Goodbye, Johanna
You're gone, and yet you're mine
I'm fine, Johanna, I'm fine

Smoke! Smoke! Sign of the devil, sign of the devil, set it on fire
Witch! Witch! Smell...

MRS. LOVETT:
Seems a downright shame...
TODD: Shame?
LOVETT:
Seems an awful waste...
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's 'is name has...
Had...
Has!
Nor it can't be traced...
Bus'ness needs a lift,
Debts to be erased...
Think of it as thrift,
As a gift,
If आप get my drift!

No?

Seems an awful waste...
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is,
When आप get it,
If आप get it...

TODD: HAH!
LOVETT:
Good, आप got it!

Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!
And a pussy's good for maybe six या seven at the most!
And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!

[SWEENEY]

Lift up your face,
Tilt back your chin, please.
Here, wear this bib, I'll
Shave that stubble away.
I'll दिखाना आप a face,
As clean as the mornin'
And if I slip, oh, well--
That's okay!

Suddenly Sweeney
Is standing behind आप
Tormented द्वारा demons
You can't comprehend
Suddenly Sweeney
Is there to provide आप
Rest everlasting:
Sweeney's your end!


[MRS. LOVETT]

Nobody ever
Treated me kindly
Perhaps 'cause my meat pies
Taste like the sewer
I met this barber, I'll
Follow him blindly,
He'll cut their throats--
I'll help him, sure!


Suddenly Sweeney

I found this and thought it was insane!
Mrs. Lovett Improves Her Pies

Sweeney was a barber
In Fleet सड़क, स्ट्रीट near the Strand
Cocksure was his nature
And Cockney was his brand.

Lovett was his neighbour,
A cook from Cubitt Town,
Sharing half a cellar,
They both sought high renown.

Sweeney Todd loved Lovett,
But loved her money more;
Planned a treat, did Lovett
For Sweeney, her amore.

Hair-cuts were a penny
And pies brought half a bob
Meat was too expensive,
But Sweeney'd do the job.

Lovett कहा to Sweeney,
'Why don't आप cut their throats?
Drop them in our cellar,
We'll even sell their coats.'

Sweeney thought about...

[Sung द्वारा a large pair of blood-red lips]


Oh, Ben Barker was fine, his life seemed just divine
With his Lucy hand in hand
But Judge Turpin was there, he liked to sneak and stare
Like some pervert Invisible Man
Then something went wrong
And आप know, before long,
Poor old Ben found himself in a jam:
But he came back to that place,
Pale makeup on his face,
And this is how the story ran:

Violence Fiction,
Tragic story
Sweeney’s vengeance
Will be quite...
