At The End Of The Day - Live Lyrics

[00:15.45] At the end of the day you're another day older
[00:18.75] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:21.10] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:23.89] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:25.45] One more day standing about
[00:26.74] What is it for?
[00:29.31] One day less to be living
[00:32.54] At the end of the day you're another day colder
[00:35.56] And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[00:38.85] And the righteous hurry past
[00:40.46] They don't hear the little ones crying
[00:42.51] And the winter is coming on fast
[00:43.86] Ready to kill
[00:46.50] One day nearer to dying
[00:49.60] At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[00:52.47] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[00:55.98] And the waves crash on the sand
[00:57.87] Like a storm that'll break any second
[00:59.43] There's a hunger in the land
[01:01.33] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
[01:03.27] There's gonna be hell to pay
[01:06.26] At the end of the day
[01:09.75] At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
[01:12.76] Sitting flat on your butt doesn't buy any bread
[01:16.11] There are children back at home
[01:17.56] And the children have got to be fed
[01:19.49] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:21.27] And in a bed
[01:23.96] And we're counting our blessings
[01:28.54] Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:32.04] With his terrible breath and his wandering hands
[01:35.80] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[01:37.78] Take a look at his trousers
[01:38.95] You'll see where he stands
[01:41.60] At the end of the day it's another day over
[01:45.43] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[01:48.69] Pay the landlord, pay the shops
[01:50.81] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[01:52.47] Keep on grafting till you drop
[01:54.05] Or it's back to the crusts off the table
[01:56.27] You've got to pay your way
[01:59.42] At the end of the day
[02:03.76] And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:07.44] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news
[02:10.92] "Dear Fantine, you must send us more money
[02:13.34] Your child needs a doctor
[02:14.70] There's no time to lose"
[02:17.11] Give that letter to me, it is none of your business!
[02:20.01] With a husband at home and a bit on the side
[02:23.82] Is there anyone here who can swear before God
[02:25.93] She has nothing to fear, she has nothing to hide?
[02:28.39]
[02:35.99] What is this fighting all about?
[02:37.79] Will someone tear these two apart?
[02:39.47] This is a factory, not a circus
[02:43.26] Now come on ladies, settle down
[02:46.10] I run a business of repute
[02:48.04] I am the mayor of this town
[02:51.34] I look to you to sort this out
[02:52.77] Now be as patient as you can
[02:54.09] Now someone say how this began
[02:57.89] At the end of the day she's the one who began it
[03:01.80] There's a kid that she's hiding in some little town
[03:05.40] There's a man she has to pay
[03:07.27] You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:08.84] You can bet she's earning her keep
[03:10.79] Sleeping around
[03:13.50] And the boss wouldn't like it
[03:16.14] Yes it's true, there's a child
[03:17.21] And the child is my daughter
[03:20.27] And her father abandoned us, leaving us flat
[03:23.80] Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife
[03:25.67] And I pay for the child
[03:26.99] What's the matter with that?
[03:29.55] At the end of the day she'll be nothing but trouble
[03:33.00] And there's trouble for all when there's trouble for one
[03:36.21] While we're earning our daily bread
[03:38.19] She's the one with her hand in the butter
[03:40.02] You must send the slut away
[03:41.72] Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[03:43.60] It's us who'll have to pay
[03:46.84] At the end of the day
[03:48.25] I might have known the bitch could bite
[03:49.60] I might have known the cat had claws
[03:51.22] I might have guessed your little secret
[03:55.03] Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
[03:58.76] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:00.73] You'd be the cause, I have no doubt
[04:03.96] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:05.30] You play a virgin in the light
[04:07.20] But need no urgin' in the night!
[04:09.16] She's been laughing at you while she's having her men
[04:11.09] She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:12.10] You must sack her today (Sack the girl today)
[04:16.75] Right my girl
[04:20.25] On your way
[04:22.35]
