At the End of the Day - Live

[00:37.19] At the end of the day, you're another day older
[00:40.81] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:44.12] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:46.00] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:47.93] One more day, standing about, what is it for?
[00:51.85] One day less to be living
[00:54.80] At the end of the day, you're another day colder
[00:58.52] And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[01:01.82] And the righteous hurry past
[01:03.75] They don't hear the little ones crying
[01:05.52] And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
[01:09.86] One day nearer to dying
[01:12.60] At the end of the day, there's another day dawning
[01:16.39] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[01:19.85] Like the waves crash on the sand
[01:21.78] Like a storm that'll break any second
[01:23.69] There's a hunger in the land
[01:25.55] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
[01:27.44] And there's gonna be hell to pay
[01:30.94] At the end of the day
[01:33.74] At the end of the day, you get nothing for nothing
[01:37.74] Sitting flat on your bum doesn't buy any bread
[01:40.98] There are children back at home
[01:42.84] And the children have got to be fed
[01:44.41] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:46.07] And in a bed
[01:47.42] (Hey!)
[01:48.52] And we're counting our blessings!
[01:53.04] Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:57.26] With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
[02:01.27] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[02:03.49] Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[02:06.98] And the boss he never knows
[02:08.82] That the foreman is always on heat
[02:10.72] If Fantine doesn't look out, watch how she goes
[02:15.18] She'll be out on the street
[02:17.78] At the end of the day, it's another day over
[02:21.80] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[02:25.00] Pay the landlord, pay the shop
[02:26.67] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[02:29.03] Keep on grafting 'til you drop
[02:30.77] Or it's back to the crumbs on the table
[02:32.82] You've got to pay your way
[02:36.35] At the end of the day!
[02:41.45] And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:44.98] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:49.07] "Dear Fantine, you must send us more money
[02:50.86] Your child needs a doctor, there's no time to lose"
[02:53.67] Give that letter to me, it is none if your business
[02:57.76] With a husband at home and a bit on the side
[03:01.72] Is there anyone here who can swear but for God
[03:03.71] She has nothing to fear
[03:04.75] She has nothing to hide
[03:07.70]
[03:12.64] What is this fighting all about?
[03:14.18] Will someone tear these two apart?
[03:16.25] This is a factory, not a circus
[03:19.19] Now come on ladies, settle down
[03:22.42] I run a business of repute
[03:24.08] I am the Mayor of this town
[03:26.63] I'll look to you to sort this out
[03:28.58] And be as patient as you can
[03:29.75] Now someone say how this began
[03:33.53] At the end of the day, she's the one who began it
[03:37.57] There's a kid that she's hiding in some little town
[03:41.07] There's a man she has to pay
[03:42.95] You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:44.86] You can bet she's earning her keep sleeping around
[03:49.46] And the boss wouldn't like it
[03:52.25] Yes, it's true, there's a child and the child is my daughter
[03:56.26] And her father abandoned us, leaving us flat
[04:00.22] Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife
[04:02.19] And I pay for the child
[04:03.23] What's the matter with that?
[04:06.05] At the end of the day, she'll be nothing but trouble
[04:10.04] And there's trouble for all when there's trouble for one
[04:13.08] While we're earning our daily bread
[04:15.23] She's the one with her hands in the butter
[04:17.12] You must send the slut away
[04:19.04] Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[04:20.90] And it's us who'll have to pay
[04:24.48] At the end of the day
[04:25.67] I might have known the bitch could bite
[04:27.62] I might have known the cat had claws
[04:29.43] I might have guessed your little secret
[04:33.22] Ah, yes, the virtuous Fantine
[04:36.82] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:39.19] You'd be the cause, I had no doubt
[04:41.51] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:43.93] You play a virgin in the light
[04:45.37] You need no urgin' in the night
[04:47.05] She's been laughing at you
[04:48.12] While she's having her men
[04:48.92] She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:51.18] You must sack her today
[04:51.79] Sack the girl today
[04:55.71] Right, my girl
[04:57.63] On your way!
[05:03.26]
