The Sewers [Les Misérables: The Motion Picture]

Alain Albert Boublil, Herbert Kretzmer, Claude-Michel Schonberg, Jean-Marc Natel

Here's a hint of gold
Stuck into a tooth
Pardon me, Monsieur
You won't be needing this 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 Hell
You get accustomed to the smell

Well someone's got to clean them 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!

Here's a tasty ring
Pretty little thing
Wouldn't want to waste it
That would really be a crime
Thank you sir, I'm in your debt
Here's another 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 them 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 dogs eat the dogs
Where they kill for the bones in the street
And God in His Heaven
He don't interfere
Because he's dead as the stiff at my feet
I raise my eyes to see the heavens
And only the moon looks down
The harvest moon shines down!

It's you Javert!
I knew you wouldn't wait too long
The faithful servant at his post once more!
This man's done no wrong
And he needs a doctor's care

I warned you I would not give in
I won't be swayed

Another hour yet
And then I'm yours
And all our debts are paid

The man of mercy
Comes again
And talks of justice

Come, time is running short
Look down, Javert
He's standing in his grave
Give way, Javert
There is life to save

Take him, Valjean
Before I change my mind
I will be waiting
