At The End Of The Day Lyrics

[00:38.09] At the end of the day you're another day older
[00:41.73] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:45.38] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:46.81] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:48.96] One more day standing about, what is it for?
[00:53.75] One day less to be living.
[00:56.96] At the end of the day you're another day colder
[01:00.62] And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[01:03.95] And the righteous hurry past
[01:06.03] They don't hear the little ones crying
[01:07.92] And the plague is coming on fast, ready to kill
[01:12.64] One day nearer to dying!
[01:15.71] At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[01:19.60] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[01:23.21] Like the waves crash on the sand
[01:24.92] Like a storm that'll break any second
[01:27.03] There's a hunger in the land
[01:29.79] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
[01:31.38] There's gonna be hell to pay
[01:34.77] At the end of the day!
[01:38.05] At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
[01:40.00] Sitting flat on your bum doesn't buy any bread
[01:44.73] There are children back at home
[01:47.34] And the children have got to be fed
[01:49.26] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:51.09] And in a bed!
[01:53.68] And we're counting our blessings!
[01:57.00] Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[02:00.39] With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
[02:05.36] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[02:07.14] Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[02:10.49] And the boss, he never knows
[02:12.09] That the foreman is always in heat
[02:14.14] If Fantine doesn't look out
[02:15.90] Watch how she goes
[02:18.76] She'll be out on the street!
[02:21.89] At the end of the day it's another day over
[02:25.98] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[02:29.50] Pay the landlord, pay the shop
[02:31.14] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[02:33.11] Keep on grafting 'til you drop
[02:35.21] Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
[02:37.19] You've got to pay your way
[02:40.71] At the end of the day!
[02:44.32] And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:47.80] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:51.53] Dear Fantine you must send us more money
[02:53.95] Your child needs a doctor
[02:55.20] There's no time to lose
[02:58.42] Give that letter to me
[02:59.52] It is none of your business
[03:01.85] With a husband at home
[03:02.92] And a bit on the side!
[03:06.26] Is there anyone here
[03:07.10] Who can swear before God
[03:08.09] She has nothing to fear?
[03:09.15] She has nothing to hide?
[03:17.88] Will someone tear these two apart
[03:23.89] This is a factory, not a circus!
[03:27.05] Now, come on ladies, settle down
[03:30.24] I am the Mayor of this town
[03:32.24] I run a business of repute
[03:35.44] Deal with this foreman
[03:37.64] Be as patient as you can
[03:39.68] Yes Monsieur Madeline
[03:42.04] I might have known the bitch could bite
[03:43.81] I might have known the cat had claws
[03:45.67] I might have guessed your little secret
[03:49.62] Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
[03:53.42] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[03:55.24] You'd be the cause I had no doubt
[03:58.16] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:00.17] You play a virgin in the light
[04:02.29] But need no urgin' in the night
[04:04.68] She's been laughing at you
[04:05.72] While she's having her men
[04:06.62] She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:08.18] You must sack her today
[04:10.08] Sack the girl today!
[04:14.20] Right my girl, on your way!
[04:15.50]
