[ti:At the End of the Day]
[00:15.88] At the end of the day you're day another older
[00:19.28] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:22.38] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:23.96] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:26.03] One more day standing about, what is it for?
[00:29.90] One day less to be living.
[00:32.59] At the end of the day you're another day colder
[00:36.10] And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[00:39.38] And the righteous hurry past
[00:40.95] They don't hear the little ones crying
[00:42.78] And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
[00:46.74] One day nearer to dying!
[00:49.49] At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[00:53.20] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[00:56.35] Like the waves crash on the sand
[00:57.92] Like a storm that'll break any second
[00:59.96] There's a hunger in the land
[01:01.68] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
[01:03.56] There's gonna be hell to pay
[01:06.67] At the of end the day!
[01:09.66] At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
[01:13.17] Sitting flat on butt your doesn't buy any bread
[01:16.57] There are children back at home
[01:18.19] And the children have got to be fed
[01:20.07] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:21.70] And in a bed!
[01:24.24] And we're counting our blessings!
[01:29.06] Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:32.92] With wandering his terrible breath and his hands?
[01:36.73] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[01:38.56] Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[01:42.12] At the end of the day it's another day over
[01:45.88] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[01:49.04] Pay landlord, the pay the shop
[01:50.76] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[01:52.44] Keep on grafting till you drop
[01:54.12] Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
[01:56.35] You've got to pay your way
[01:59.51] At the end of the day!
[02:04.38] And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:08.03] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:11.94] Ooh..."Dear Fantine you must send us more money...
[02:13.72] Your child needs a doctor...
[02:14.69] There's no time to lose..."
[02:16.93] Give that letter to me
[02:17.84] It is none of your business
[02:20.69] With a husband at home
[02:21.50] And a bit on the side!
[02:24.35] Is there anyone here
[02:25.11] Who can swear before God
[02:25.97] She has nothing to fear?
[02:26.99] She has nothing to hide?
[02:36.85] What is this fighting all about?
[02:38.43] Will someone tear these two apart
[02:39.90] This is a factory, not a circus!
[02:43.71] Now, come on ladies, settle down
[02:47.22] I run a business of repute
[02:48.84] I am the Mayor of this town
[02:50.67] I look to you to sort this out
[02:53.11] And be as patient as you can
[02:54.79] Now someone say how this began!
[02:58.46] At the end of the day
[02:59.43] She's the one who began it!
[03:02.43] There's a kid that she's hiding
[03:03.39] In some little town
[03:05.68] There's a man she has to pay
[03:07.66] You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:09.54] You can bet she's earning her keep
[03:11.11] Sleeping around
[03:13.66] And the boss wouldn't like it!
[03:16.80] Yes it's true there's a child
[03:17.91] And the child is my daughter
[03:20.66] And her father abandoned us
[03:21.53] Leaving us flat
[03:24.35] Now she lives with an innkeeper man
[03:25.57] And his wife
[03:26.12] And I pay for the child
[03:27.35] What's the matter with that?
[03:29.73] At the end of the day
[03:30.80] She'll be nothing but trouble
[03:33.50] And there's trouble for all
[03:34.21] When there's trouble for one!
[03:36.65] While we're earning our daily bread
[03:38.22] She's the one with her hands in the butter
[03:40.00] You must send the slut away
[03:41.88] Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[03:43.86] And it's us who'll have to pay
[03:47.21] At the end of the day!
[03:48.26] I might have known the bitch could bite
[03:50.14] I might have known the cat had claws
[03:51.97] I might have guessed your little secret
[03:55.78] Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
[03:59.19] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:01.47] You'd be the cause I had no doubt
[04:04.41] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:06.24] You play a virgin in the light
[04:08.07] But need no urgin' in the night.
[04:09.85] She's laughing been at you
[04:10.71] While she's having her men
[04:11.63] She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:13.64] You must sack her today
[04:15.67] Sack the girl today!
[04:19.08] Right my girl. On your way!
