[00:36.830] At the end of the day you're another day older
[00:40.360] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:42.800]
[00:43.550] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:45.360] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:47.140] One more day standing about, what is it for?
[00:49.810]
[00:51.310] One day less to be living.
[00:52.440]
[00:54.600] At the end of the day you're another day colder
[00:56.120]
[00:57.690] And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[00:59.820]
[01:00.810] And the righteous hurry past
[01:02.670] They don't hear the little ones crying
[01:03.790]
[01:04.550] And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
[01:07.120]
[01:08.740] One day nearer to dying!
[01:10.180]
[01:11.490] At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[01:13.260]
[01:15.200] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[01:17.210]
[01:18.450] Like the waves crash on the sand
[01:20.330] Like a storm that'll break any second
[01:22.600] There's a hunger in the land
[01:24.100] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
[01:25.140]
[01:26.0] There's gonna be hell to pay
[01:28.130]
[01:29.700] At the end of the day!
[01:30.190]
[01:32.0] At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
[01:34.700]
[01:35.390] Sitting flat on your butt doesn't buy any bread
[01:37.570]
[01:38.750] There are children back at home
[01:40.530] And the children have got to be fed
[01:42.280] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:43.960] And in a bed!
[01:45.590]
[01:46.460] And we're counting our blessings!
[01:48.180]
[01:51.250] Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:53.789]
[01:54.789] With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
[01:57.470]
[01:58.410] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[02:00.600] Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[02:03.610] And the boss, he never knows
[02:04.850] That the foreman is always in heat
[02:07.170] If Fantine doesn't look out
[02:08.728] Watch how she goes
[02:10.900]
[02:11.300] She'll be out on the street!
[02:12.280]
[02:13.840] At the end of the day it's another day over
[02:15.910]
[02:17.470] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[02:19.410]
[02:20.660] Pay the landlord, pay the shop
[02:22.500] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[02:23.620]
[02:24.260] Keep on grafting till you drop
[02:26.210] Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
[02:28.200] You've got to pay your way
[02:29.710]
[02:31.210] At the end of the day!
[02:32.790]
[02:36.790] And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:38.710]
[02:39.590] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:41.800]
[02:43.490] Ooh..."Dear Fantine you must send us more money...
[02:45.150] Your child needs a doctor...
[02:46.470] There's no time to lose..."
[02:48.200] Give that letter to me
[02:48.900] It is none of your business
[02:50.270]
[02:51.710] With a husband at home
[02:52.650] And a bit on the side!
[02:54.200]
[02:55.340] Is there anyone here
[02:56.200] Who can swear before God
[02:57.450] She has nothing to fear?
[02:58.260] She has nothing to hide?
[02:59.829]
[03:08.830] Will someone tear these two apart
[03:10.770] What is this fighting all about?
[03:13.150] This is a factory, not a circus!
[03:15.590]
[03:17.340] Now, come on ladies, settle down
[03:19.490]
[03:20.990] I run a business of repute
[03:23.300] I am the Mayor of this town
[03:25.360]
[03:25.920] I look to you to sort this out
[03:27.460] And be as patient as you can
[03:30.120] Now someone say how this began!
[03:31.990]
[03:33.740] At the end of the day
[03:34.550] She's the one who began it!
[03:35.760]
[03:37.390] There's a kid that she's hiding
[03:38.450] In some little town
[03:39.930]
[03:40.620] There's a man she has to pay
[03:42.550] You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:44.430] You can bet she's earning her keep
[03:45.420] Sleeping around
[03:47.470]
[03:48.600] And the boss wouldn't like it!
[03:50.350]
[03:51.290] Yes it's true there's a child
[03:52.480] And the child is my daughter
[03:53.920]
[03:55.400] And her father abandoned us
[03:55.910] Leaving us flat
[03:57.230]
[03:58.980] Now she lives with an innkeeper man
[04:00.480] And his wife
[04:00.980] And I pay for the child
[04:02.500] What's the matter with that?
[04:02.890]
[04:04.640] At the end of the day
[04:05.510] She'll be nothing but trouble
[04:06.760]
[04:08.320] And there's trouble for all
[04:09.100] When there's trouble for one!
[04:10.260]
[04:11.570] While we're earning our daily bread
[04:12.510]
[04:13.230] She's the one with her hands in the butter
[04:15.230] You must send the slut away
[04:17.100] Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[04:19.500] And it's us who'll have to pay
[04:21.670]
[04:22.170] At the end of the day!
[04:23.230]
[04:23.800] I might have known the bitch could bite
[04:25.230] I might have known the cat had claws
[04:27.300] I might have guessed your little secret
[04:29.600]
[04:30.910] Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
[04:34.720] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:37.100] You'd be the cause I had no doubt
[04:38.850]
[04:39.470] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:41.730] You play a virgin in the light
[04:43.670] But need no urgin' in the night.
[04:45.540] She's been laughing at you
[04:46.490] While she's having her men
[04:47.550] She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:49.500] You must sack her today
[04:50.230] Sack the girl today!
[04:52.250]
[04:53.600] Right my girl. On your way!
