fantine's arrest - earl carpenter, madalena alberto & john owen-jones lyrics

[bamatabois]
here’s something new
i think i’ll give it a try
come closer, you
i like to see what i buy
the usual price
for just one slice of your pie

[fantine]
i don’t want you
no, no, monsieur, let me go

[bamatabois]
is this a trick? i won’t pay more

[fantine]
no, not at all

[bamatabois]
you’ve got some nerve, you little sl*t
you’ve got some gall

[bamatabois hits fantine with his stick.]

it’s the same with a tart as it is with a grocer
the customer sees what he gets in advance
it’s not for the wh0re to say “yes sir” or “no sir”
not for the harlots to pick or to choose
or to lead me a dance
[fantine claws at bamatabois’ face, drawing blood.]

[fantine]
i’ll k!ll you you, b*st*rd
try any of that
even a wh0re who has gone to the bad
won’t be had by a rat

[bamatabois]
by christ, you’ll pay for what you’ve done
this rat will make you bleed, you’ll see
i guarantee, i’ll make you suffer
for this disturbance of the peace
for this insult to life and property

[fantine]
i beg you, don’t report me, sir
i’ll do what ever you may want

[bamatabois]
make your excuse to the police

[bamatabois, spoken]
guards!

[javert]
tell me quickly what’s the story
who saw what, and why, and where?
let him give a full description
let him answer to javert
in this nest of wh0res and vipers
let one speak who saw it all
who laid hand on this good man here?
what’s the substance of this brawl?
[fantine]
there’s a child who sorely needs me
please monsieur, she’s but that high
holy god, is there no mercy?
if i go to jail, she’ll die

[javert]
i have heard such protestations
every day for twenty years
let’s have no more explanations
save your breath and save your tears
honest work, just reward
that’s the way to please the lord

[valjean]
a moment of your time, javert
i do believe this woman’s tale

[javert]
monsieur mayor—

[valjean]
you’ve done your duty, let her be
she needs a doctor, not a jail

[javert]
but monsieur mayor…
[fantine]
can this be?

[valjean]
where will she end
this child without a friend?

[to fantine.]

i’ve seen your face before
show me some way to help you
how have you come to grief
in such a place as this?

[fantine]
monsieur, don’t mock me now, i pray
it’s hard enough i’ve lost my pride
you let your foreman send me away
yes, you were there, and turned aside
i never did no wrong

[valjean]
is it true, what i’ve done—

[fantine]
my daughter’s close to dying

[valjean]
to an innocent soul?

[fantine]
if there’s a god above

[valjean]
had i only known then…

[fantine]
he’d let me die instead

[valjean]
in his name, my task has just begun
i will see it done

[javert]
monsieur mayor…

[valjean, spoken]
take her to the hospital

[javert]
but monsieur mayor!

[valjean]
i will see it done!
