1. WORK SONG/LOOK DOWN
PRISONERS
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die
CONVICT ONE
The sun is strong
It's hot as hell below
PRISONER
Look down, look down,
There's twenty years to go
CONVICT TWO
I've done no wrong!
Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer!
PRISONERS
Look down look down,
Sweet Jesus doesn't care
CONVICT THREE
I know she'll wait,
I know that she'll be true!
PRISONERS
Look down, look down,
They've all forgotten you
CONVICT FOUR
When I get free ya won't see me
Here for dust!
PRISONERS
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
CONVICT FIVE
How long, oh Lord
Before you let me die?
PRISONERS
Look down, look down,
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down,
You're standing in your grave
JAVERT
Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole's begun
You know what that means.
VALJEAN
Yes, it means I'm free.
JAVERT
No!
It means you get
Your yellow ticket-of-leave
You are a thief
VALJEAN
I stole a loaf of bread.
JAVERT
You robbed a house.
VALJEAN
I broke a window pane.
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving.
JAVERT
You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law.
VALJEAN
I know the meaning of those 19 years
A slave of the law
JAVERT
Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601.
VALJEAN
My name is Jean Valjean
JAVERT
And I am Javert
Do not forget my name!
Do not forget me,
24601.
PRISONERS
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave.
2. Valjean Arrested/Valjean Forgiven
Constables
1. Tell his reverence your story
2. Let us see if he's impressed
1. You were lodging here last night
2. You were the honest Bishop's guest.
And then, out of Christian goodness
When he learned about your plight
1. You maintain he made a present of this silver.
Bishop
That is right.
But my friend you left so early
Surely something slipped your mind
You forgot I gave these also
Would you leave the best behind?
So Messieurs you may release him
For this man has spoken true
I commend you for your duty
May God's blessing go with you.
But remember this, my brother
See in this some higher plan
You must use this precious silver
To become an honest man
By the witness of the martyrs
By the Passion and the Blood
God has raised you out of darkness
I have bought your soul for God!
3. What Have I Done?
What have I done?
Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
Become a thief in the night
Become a dog on the run
And have I fallen so far
And is the hour so late
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate,
The cries in the dark that nobody hears,
Here where I stand at the turning of the years?
If there's another way to go
I missed it twenty long years ago
My life was a war that could never be won
They gave me a number and murdered Valjean
When they chained me and left me for dead
Just for stealing a mouthful of bread
Yet why did I allow that man
To touch my soul and teach me love?
He treated me like any other
He gave me his trust
He called me brother
My life he claims for God above
Can such things be?
For I had come to hate this world
This world which had always hated me
Take an eye for an eye!
Turn your heart into stone!
This is all I have lived for!
This is all I have known!
One word from him and I'd be back
Beneath the lash, upon the rack
Instead he offers me my freedom,
I feel my shame inside me like a knife
He told me that I have a soul,
How does he know?
What spirit came to move my life? Is there another way to go?
I am reaching, but I fall
And the night is closing in
And I stare into the void
To the whirpool of my sin
I'll escape now from the world
From the world of Jean Valjean
Jean Valjean is nothing now
Another story must begin!
4. At the End of the Day
[THE POOR]
At the end of the day you're another day older
And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
It's a struggle, it's a war
And there's nothing that anyone's giving
One more day standing about, what is it for?
One day less to be living.
At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
And the righteous hurry past
They don't hear the little ones crying
And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!
At the end of the day there's another day dawning
And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
There's gonna be hell to pay
At the end of the day!
[The foreman and workers, including Fantine, emerge from the factory]
[FOREMAN]
At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
Sitting flat on your butt doesn't buy any bread
[WORKER ONE]
There are children back at home
[WORKERS ONE AND TWO]
And the children have got to be fed
[WORKER TWO]
And you're lucky to be in a job
[WOMAN]
And in a bed!
[WORKERS]
And we're counting our blessings!
[WOMAN TWO]
Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
With his terrible breath and his wandering hands?
[WOMAN THREE]
It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[WOMAN ONE]
Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[WOMAN FOUR]
And the boss, he never knows
That the foreman is always in heat
[WOMAN THREE]
If Fantine doesn't look out
Watch how she goes
She'll be out on the street!
[WORKERS]
At the end of the day it's another day over
With enough in your pocket to last for a week
Pay the landlord, pay the shop
Keep on grafting as long as you're able
Keep on grafting till you drop
Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
You've got to pay your way
At the end of the day!
[GIRL (Grabbing a letter from Fantine)]
And what have we here, little innocent sister?
Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[Reading the letter]
Ooh..."Dear Fantine you must send us more money...
Your child needs a doctor...
There's no time to lose..."
[FANTINE]
Give that letter to me
It is none of your business
With a husband at home
And a bit on the side!
Is there anyone here
Who can swear before God
She has nothing to fear?
She has nothing to hide?
[They fight over the letter. Valjean (M. Madeleine) rushes on to break up the squabble.]
[VALJEAN]
Will someone tear these two apart
What is this fighting all about?
This is a factory, not a circus!
Now, come on ladies, settle down
I run a business of repute
I am the Mayor of this town
[To the foreman]
I look to you to sort this out
And be as patient as you can-
[He goes back into the factory]
[FOREMAN]
Now someone say how this began!
[GIRL]
At the end of the day
She's the one who began it!
There's a kid that she's hiding
In some little town
There's a man she has to pay
You can guess how she picks up the extra
You can bet she's earning her keep
Sleeping around
And the boss wouldn't like it!
[FANTINE]
Yes it's true there's a child
And the child is my daughter
And her father abandoned us
Leaving us flat
Now she lives with an innkeeper man
And his wife
And I pay for the child
What's the matter with that?
[WOMEN]
At the end of the day
She'll be nothing but trouble
And there's trouble for all
When there's trouble for one!
While we're earning our daily bread
She's the one with her hands in the butter
You must send the slut away
Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
And it's us who'll have to pay
At the end of the day!
[FOREMAN]
I might have known the bitch could bite
I might have known the cat had claws
I might have guessed your little secret
Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
Who keeps herself so pure and clean
You'd be the cause I had no doubt
Of any trouble hereabout
You play a virgin in the light
But need no urgin' in the night.
[GIRL]
She's been laughing at you
While she's having her men
[WOMEN]
She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[WOMAN]
You must sack her today
[WORKERS]
Sack the girl today!
[FOREMAN]
Right my girl. On your way!
6. Emma's Reason
STRIDE:
Emma Carew,
Can this be you?
What kind of man
Is this you've taken?
Can you not see
The kind of life
That this would be?
You are mistaken!
Time to awaken,
Before it's too late,
Before you forever
Determine your fate!
EMMA:
But, Simon, you knew
I had to be free.
What I choose to do
Is decided by me!
From the day my mother died,
My father , full of good intentions,
Treated me as though I were a young child.
Maybe his idea was just to wait
Until I grew up,
And then look at me
And hope that I'd be her.
It's easy to accept that
From a father
He'd rather
Things remained the way they were.
But when it comes to marriage,
I must pick whom I prefer!
I am not the weak young thing
You're seeking, Simon,
Someone seventeen, obedient and sweet.
I am not the protйgйe
To waste your time on.
I'm complete -
In Henry's eyes I see
What I am meant to be! -
7. I Must Go On
JEKYLL:
I must go on
With the work I'm committed to -
How can I not,
When my theories are true?
And I will prove,
If I'm ever permitted to,
Things are not wrong,
Just because they are new!
EMMA:
Henry, I adore,
Always have done,
Always will do,
And your dreams are mine!
I will always understand.
However hard the path you've planned,
Our lives will intertwine...
JEKYLL:
Who knows where my work will lead me?
EMMA:
Nowhere where you will not need me!
JEKYLL:
Emma, please I beg you, heed me!
EMMA:
Just don't leave me on my own!
JEKYLL:
The only thing I fear is the unknown...
EMMA:
When this all began,
We knew there'd be a price to pay!
Too late now to turn away -
We have come too far!
I know we'll find a way...
8. Take Me As I Am
JEKYLL:
Sometimes I see
Past the horizon,
Sure of my way,
Where I am going -
But where's the prize
I have my eyes on?
Where?
There is just no knowing!
And when despair
Tears me in two,
Who can I turn to
But you?
You know who I am...
Take me as I am.
EMMA:
Look in my eyes,
Who do you see there?
Someone you know,
Or just a stranger?
If you are wise,
You will see me there!
Love is the only danger!
Love meaning me,
Love meaning you,
We'll make that one dream come true!
You know who I am...
Take me as I am.
JEKYLL & EMMA:
Though fate won't always do
What we desire -
Still we can set
The world on fire!
Give me your hand,
Give me your heart -
JEKYLL:
Swear to me we'll never part!
EMMA:
We'll never part!
JEKYLL:
You know who I am.
EMMA:
You know who I am.
JEKYLL:
This is who I am.
EMMA:
This is who I am.
JEKYLL & EMMA:
Take me as I am...
9. Letting Go
SIR DANVERS:
Emma, don't you understand!
It's you I am concerned for.
EMMA:
Father, don't be!
You should be concerned for him!
He's the one in need!
SIR DANVERS:
I am only trying to protect you!
What else would you have your father do?
I think I would die,
If any harm should come to you.
I'm scared, my child,
Because I'm going to lose you.
I find it very hard,
To let you go!
EMMA:
Father,
If you try to,
You could never lose me!
Darling father,
I still love you,
More than you will ever know!
But if we want our love to grow -
SIR DANVERS:
I know, in time, I have to let you go.
EMMA & SIR DANVERS:
We mustn't be afraid of letting go...
10. Facade (Reprise 2)
'Ere in London East End,
It's the pit of the Earth -
Where you won't find a friend -
Where yer life 'as no worth -
Death is waiting -
Fate is makin' yer card.
You got one chance in five -
They're the odds you must beat
If you wanna survive -
So be fast on yer feet!
Life's 'ard 'ere -
It's the devil's backyard!
11. No One Knows Who I Am
Look at me,
And tell me who I am.
Why I am
What I am.
Call me a fool,
And it's true I am.
I don't know
Who I am.
It's such a shame,
I'm such a sham.
No one knows
Who I am.
Am I the face of the future?
Am I the face of the past?
Am I the one who must finish last?
Look at me,
And tell me who I am,
Why I am
What I am.
Will I survive?
Who will give a damn,
If no one knows
Who I am?
Nobody knows -
Not even you -
No one knows who I am...
12. Good 'N' Evil
LUCY:
Good and evil -
And their merits -
Men have argued through history -
As well they should!
My philosophy
Any child can see -
"Good is evil -
And therefore
All evil is good"
How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good not so good!
Evil's the one that is free everywhere -
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven -
Which is hell!
Good men maintain evil's a curse! -
But it is plain good's even worse!
Evil's the one that they tell you to shun -
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!
The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start -
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good 'n' evil -
Each man has to choose! -
Heaven 'n' hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose! -
But as I peruse
This world we abuse -
It's hell that we choose -
And heaven must lose!
Evil is everywhere -
Good doesn't have a prayer!
Good is commendable -
Evil's dependable!
Evil is viable
Good's unreliable!
Good may be thankable!
Evil is bankable!
Evil's for me - you can have good!
Doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood!
S'easier by far, from the way that things are,
To remain good 'n' evil
Than try to be evil and good!
13. Now There Is No Choice
JEKYLL:
Now there is no choice:
I must put aside
The fears I feel inside...
There's no place to hide!
So it comes to this:
One great golden chance
That only I can take,
When everything I fought for
Is at stake!...
To make the mark
That only I can make!
14. This Is The Moment
JEKYLL:
This is the moment!
This is the day,
When I send all my doubts and demons
On their way!
Every endeavor,
I have made - ever -
Is coming into play,
Is here and now - today!
This is the moment,
This is the time,
When the momentum and the moment
Are in rhyme!
Give me this moment -
This precious chance -
I'll gather up my past
And make some sense at last!
This is the moment,
When all I've done -
All the dreaming,
Scheming and screaming,
Become one!
This is the day -
See it sparkle and shine,
When all I've lived for
Becomes mine!
For all these years,
I've faced the world alone,
And now the time has come
To prove to them
I've made it on my own!
This is the moment -
My final test -
Destiny beckoned,
I never reckoned,
Second Best!
I won't look down,
I must not fall!
This is the moment,
The sweetest moment of them all!
This is the moment!
Damn all the odds!
This day, or never,
I'll sit forever
With the gods!
When I look back,
I will always recall,
Moment for moment,
This was the moment,
The greatest moment
Of them all!
14. Stars
JAVERT
There, out in the darkness
A fugitive running
Fallen from grace
Fallen from grace
God be my witness
I never shall yield
Till we come face to face
Till we come face to face
He knows his way in the dark
Mine is the way of the Lord
And those who follow the path of the righteous
Shall have their reward
And if they fall
As Lucifer fell
The flame
The sword!
Stars
In your multitudes
Scarce to be counted
Filling the darkness
With order and light
You are the sentinels
Silent and sure
Keeping watch in the night
Keeping watch in the night
You know your place in the sky
You hold your course and your aim
And each in your season
Returns and returns
And is always the same
And if you fall as Lucifer fell
You fall in flame!
Ans so it has been and so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!
Lord let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
Till then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!
16. Alive
HYDE:
What is this feeling
Of power and drive
I've never known?
I feel alive!
Where does this feeling
Of power derive,
Making me know
Why I'm alive?
Like the night, it's a secret,
Sinister dark and unknown.
I do not know what I seek,
Yet I'll seek it alone!
I have a thirst
That I cannot deprive.
Never have I felt so alive!
There is no battle
I couldn't survive -
Feeling like this -
Feeling alive!
Like the moon, an enigma,
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma,
But blazing with light!
It's the feeling of being alive!
Filled with evil, but truly alive!
It's the truth that cannot be denied!
It's the feeling of being
Edward Hyde!
17. Your Work- And Nothing More
UTTERSON:
You have your work
And nothing more!
You are possessed -
What is your demon?
You've never been
This way before -
Where is the fire
You built your dream on?
There's something strange,
There's something wrong.
I see a change -
It's like when hope dies.
I, who have known
You for so long,
I see the pain
In your eyes!
UTTERSON JEKYLL:
There was a time Have
You lived your life, I
And no one lived Become -
The way that you did!
You had a plan, My work
You chose a wife, And nothing
You saw the world More?
As very few did!
You had it all - I
The overall! - Know
You seemed to know That's
Just what to live for! Not
But now, it seems, What
You don't at all, I'm
You have you work - Living
Nothing more!... For!...
EMMA:
Father, you know
Henry won't just walk away.
The only way he knows
Is straight ahead!
SIR DANVERS
Emma, you've not heard
A single word I've said!
My fear is, he's in over his head.
He could lose control,
And that I dread
There has been talk:
They say he's gone too far.
He's locked himself away
In his own world,
Pursuing the insanity -!
EMMA:
It is his work!
SIR DANVERS:
It's more than work -
He is obsessed!
The man is driven!
EMMA:
Just give him time,
I ask no more.
His work's a crime
To be forgiven!
SIR DANVERS: EMMA:
There's something strange. Just give him time
Unless I'm blind! I ask no more
I see a change
Of a bizarre kind!
EMMA: SIR DANVERS:
There's not at all! He's chasing dreams
Don't be unkind. He'll never find
The problem's all
In your mind!
SIR DANVERS: UTTERSON: JEKYLL:
He has his work This increasing Father...
And nothing more. Isolation only adds
He is obsessed! To your frustration
The man is driven! And it could
Endanger
Your
EMMA: JEKYLL:
Just give him time, Career... Who are they
I ask no more. To judge what I
His work's a crime Am doing they
To be forgiven! Know nothing
Of the
Possibilities I see.
SIR DANVERS: UTTERSON: JEKYLL:
He's chasing Time to awaken And I will
Dreams Before it's too Prove, if I'm
He'll never find! Late Ever
I see a change Permitted to
Of a bizarre kind
EMMA: UTTERSON: JEKYLL:
There's not at all! Before you forever Things are not
Don't be unkind. Determine your fate Wrong just
Problem's all What you're Because they
In your mind! Living for Are new!
EMMA: SIR DANVERS/UTTERSON: JEKYLL: ENSEMBLE:
Still, I pray, Dear, I pray, I pray If you live around
Every day, Every day, I Here lots of people I
Henry may Henry may May Fear will make
Find his way. Find his way! Find Promises
I pray he may I pray he may My They will not

ENSEMBLE:
There's a beast at
The door
And he's wild and
He's free but
We don't let him in
'Cause
We don't want to
See what
Is lurking right
Behind the
Faзade.
18. Sympathy, Tenderness
LUCY:
Sympathy, tenderness,
Warm as the Summer,
Offer me their embrace.
Friendliness, gentleness,
Strangers to my life,
They are there in his face.
Goodness and sweetness
And kindness
Abound in this place
I am in love
With the things
That I see in his face -
It's a memory I know
Time will never erase...
19. Someone Like You
LUCY:
I peer through windows,
Watch life go by,
Dream of tomorrow,
And wonder "why"?
The past is holding me,
Keeping life at bay,
I wander lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly -
But scared to try.
But if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Found me!
So many secrets
I've longed to share!
All I have needed
Is someone there,
To help me see a world
I've never seen before -
A love to open every door,
To set me free,
So I can soar!
If someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
There'd be a new way to live,
A new life to love,
If someone like you
Found me!
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!
My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Loved me...
Loved me...
Loved me!...
20. Alive (Reprise)
Animals trapped behind bars at the zoo
Need to run rampant and free!
Predators live on the prey they pursue!
This time the predator's me!
Lust, like a raging desire,
Fills my whole soul with it's curse!
Burning with primitive fire,
Berserk and perverse!
Tonight I'll plunder heaven blind,
Steal from all the gods!
Tonight I'll take from all mankind,
Conquer all the odds!
And I feel I'll live on forever,
With Satan himself by my side!
And I'll show the world
That tonight and forever,
The name to remember's
The name Edward Hyde!
What a feeling to be so alive!
I have never seen me so alive!
Such a feeling of evil inside -
That's the feeling
Of being
Edward Hyde!

They've murdered dear old Bessie! -
I hear it extremely messy! -
And poor old Archie is no more! -
WOMAN:
They say a lot of blood and gore!
ALL:
That's four in the last eight days!
It's London's latest craze!
SECOND NEWSBOY:
this time 'e was in Perk Lane!
An' 'e may come back again!
WOMEN:
Until the killers found,
There's danger all around!
CROWD:
What can we do?
What can we do?
What can we do?
We wish we knew!
CROWD:
Catchin' such a madman could be hard! -
He'll kill! -
At will! -
Cos they're all so thick at Scotland Yard! -
No brains! -
No skill! -
ALL:
He'll kill us, if we let him!
They'd better go and get him!
I know a way to net him! -
How?
Murder!
No matter who we're blamin'
Till they pull wot's-'is-name in,
There's gonna be
There's gonna be
There's gonna be a flamin'
Row!
Murder, murder -
Or our doorstep!
Murder, murder -
So watch your step!
Murder, murder -
Take one more step,
You'll be murdered
In the night!
Murder, murder -
Once there's one done -
Murder, murder -
Can't be undone!
Murder, murder -
Lives in London! -
Bloody murder
In the night!
In the night!
22. Once Upon A Dream
EMMA:
When it's all began,
We knew there'd be a price...
Once upon a dream,
I was lost in love's embrace.
There I found a perfect place,
Once upon a dream.
Once there was a time,
Like no other time before,
Hope was still an open door,
Once upon a dream.
And I was unafraid,
The dream was so exciting!
But now I see it fade...
And I am here alone!
Once upon a dream,
You were heaven-sent to me,
Was it never meant to be?
Was it just a dream?
Could we begin again!...
Once upon a dream.
23. Obsession
JEKYLL:
What streak of madness lies inside me?
What is the truth my fears conceal?
What evil force makes Edward Hyde of me?
What darker side of me does he reveal?
What is this strange obsession
That's tearing me apart?
Some strange, deranged expression
Of what's in my heart?
Am I the man that I appear to be?
Or am I someone I don't know?
Is there some monster drawing near me to me?
Becoming clear to see?
Will what I fear to be
Be so?
24. In His Eyes
EMMA:
I sit and watch the rain,
And see my tears run down the windowpane...
LUCY:
I sit and watch the sky.
And I can hear it breathe a sign...
EMMA:
I think of him,
How we were...
LUCY:
And when I think of him,
Then I remember...
LUCY/EMMA:
Remember...
EMMA:
In his eyes I can see
Where my heart longs to be!
LUCY:
In his eyes I see a gentle glow,
And that's where I'll be safe, I know!
EMMA:
Safe in his arms, close to his heart...
LUCY:
But I don't know quite where to start...
EMMA:
By looking in his eyes,
Will I see beyond tomorrow?
LUCY:
By looking in his eyes,
Will I see beyond the sorrow
That I feel?
EMMA:
Will his eyes reveal to me
Promises or lies?
LUCY:
But he can't conceal from me
The love in his eyes!
EMMA:
I know their every look,
His eyes!
LUCY:
They're like an open book,
His eyes!
LUCY/EMMA:
But most of all the look
That hypnotized me!
EMMA:
If I'm wise,
I will walk away,
And gladly...
LUCY:
But, sadly,
I'm not wise,
It's hard to talk away
The mem'ries that you prize!
EMMA:
Love is worth forgiving for!
LUCY:
Now I realize -
LUCY/EMMA:
Everything worth living for
Is there, in his eyes!
EMMA:
Love is worth forgiving for!
Now I realize -
LUCY:
Now I realize -
LUCY/EMMA:
Everything worth living for
Is there, in his eyes!
25. Dangerous Game
LUCY
I feel your fingers -
Cold on my shoulder -
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine -
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul -
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine...
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am out of my mind
I am out of control
Full of feelings I can't define
HYDE
It's a sin with no name
LUCY
Like a hand in a flame
HYDE
And our senses proclaim
HYDE / LUCY
It's a dangerous game!
HYDE
A darker dream
That has no ending
That's so unreal
You believe that it's true.
A dance of death
Out of a mystery tale
The frightened princess
Doesn't know what to do!
Will the ghosts go away?
LUCY
No -
HYDE
Will she will them to stay?
LUCY
No -
HYDE
Either way, there's no way to win!
LUCY
All I know is I'm lost
And I'm counting the cost
My emotions are in a spin.
I don't know who to blame...
HYDE
It's a crime and a shame!
LUCY
But it's true all the same
HYDE / LUCY
It's a dangerous game!
No one speaks
Not one word
But what words are in our eyes.
LUCY
Silence speaks
HYDE
Silence speaks
LUCY
Loud and clear
HYDE
Loud and clear!
HYDE / LUCY
All the words
HYDE
We don't want to hear.
LUCY
We want to hear.
HYDE / LUCY
At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am losing my mind
I am losing control
Fighting feelings I can't define.
LUCY
It's a sin with no name
HYDE
No remorse and no shame -
Fire, fury and flame!
LUCY
Cos the Devil's to blame!
BOTH
And the Angels proclaim...
It's a dangerous game!
26. Facade (Reprise 3)
If you live around here,
Lotsa people, I fear,
Will make promises
They will not honour, my dear,
An' the truth is,
You end up getting scarred!
There's a beast at the door,
An' he's wild an' he's free,
But we don't let him in,
'Cause we don't want to see
what is lurking
Right behind the facade!
27. The Way Back
JEKYLL:
Somehow I have to get back
To the place where my journey started,
Find the course I charted,
When I first departed!
Somehow I have to hang on
To the vision that first inspired me,
To the hope that fired me,
When the world admired me!
I'll find a way back to the higher ground,
And see the view I saw before!
I'll search the world
Until the answer's found -
Turn my despair around
Forevermore!
Somehow I've got to rebuild
All the dreams that the winds have scattered,
From what fate has shattered -
I'll retrieve what mattered!
Somehow I've got to go on,
Till the evil has been defeated -
Till my works completed -
I will not be cheated!
God, you must help me carry on!
When it seems all hopes has gone,
I have got to carry on!
28. A New Life
LUCY:
A New Life -
What I wouldn't give
To have a new life!
One thing I have learned
As I go through life:
Nothing is for free
Along the way!
A new start -
That's the thing I need,
To give me new heart -
Half a chance in life
To find a new part,
Just a simple role
That I can play.
A new hope -
Something to convince me
To renew hope!
A new day,
Bright enough
To help me find my way!
A new chance -
One that maybe has
A touch of romance.
Where can it be,
The chance for me?
A new dream -
I have one I know
That very few dream!
I would like to see
That overdue dream -
Even though
It never may come true!
A new love -
Though I know there's no
Such thing as true love -
Even so,
Although I never knew love,
Still I feel that
One dream is my due!
A new world -
This one thing I want
To ask of you, world -
Once! - Before it's time
To say adieu, world!
One sweet chance to
Prove the cynics wrong!
A new life -
More and more, I'm sure,
As I go through life,
Just to play the game -,
And to pursue life -
Just to share its pleasures,
And belong! -
That's what I've been here for,
All along!
Each day's
A brand new life!
29. Confrontation
JEKYLL:
Lost in the darkness,
Silence surrounds you.
Once there was morning,
Now endless night.
I will find the answer.
I'll never desert you -
I promise you this -
Till the day that I...
HYDE:
Do you really think
That I would ever let you go?
Do you think I'd ever set you free?
If you do, I'm sad to say,
It simply isn't so.
You will never get away from me!
JEKYLL:
All that you are
Is a face in the mirror!
I close my eyes and you'll disappear!
HYDE:
I'm what you face
When you face in the mirror!
Long as you live, I will still be here!
JEKYLL:
All that you are
Is the end of a nightmare!
All that you are is a dying scream!
After tonight,
I shall end this demon dream!
HYDE:
This is not a dream, my friend -
And it will never end!
This one is the nightmare that goes on!
Hyde is here to stay,
No matter what you may pretend -
And I'll flourish, long after you're gone!
JEKYLL:
Soon you will die,
And my silence will hide you!
You cannot choose but to lose control.
HYDE:
You can't control me!
I live deep inside you!
Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!
JEKYLL:
I don't need to survive,
As you need me!
I'll become whole
As you dance with death!
And I'll rejoice
As you breathe your final breath!
HYDE:
I'll live inside you forever!
JEKYLL:
No!
HYDE:
With Satan himself by my side!
JEKYLL:
No!
HYDE:
And I know that, now and forever,
They'll never be able to separate
Jekyll from Hyde!
JEKYLL:
Can't you see
It's over now?
It's time to die!
HYDE:
No, not I!
Only you!
JEKYLL:
If I die,
You die, too!
HYDE:
You'll die in me
I'll be you!
JEKYLL:
Damn you, Hyde!
Set me free!
HYDE:
Can't you see
You are me?
JEKYLL:
No!
Deep inside-!
HYDE:
I am you!
You are Hyde!
JEKYLL:
No - Never!
HYDE:
Yes, forever!
JEKYLL:
Good damn you, Hyde!
Take all your evil deeds,
And rot in hell!
HYDE:
I'll see you there, Jekyll!
JEKYLL:
Never!
30. Facade (Reprise 4)
there's a beast at the door
And he's wild and free!
But we don't let him in,
'Cause we don't want to see -
what is lurking right behind the facade!
Man is not one, but two!
He is evil and good!
And he walks the fine line
That he'd cross, if he could,
He's just waiting...!
