Les Miserables - Uwertura - schyl kark

Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down,
You're here until you die

The sun is strong
It's hot as hell below

Look down, look down,
There's twenty years to go

I've done no wrong!
Sweet Jesus, hear my prayer!

Look down look down,
Sweet Jesus doesn't care

I know she'll wait,
I know that she'll be true!

Look down, look down,
They've all forgotten you

When I get free ya won't see me
Here for dust!

Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye

How long, oh Lord
Before you let me die?

Look down, look down,
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down,
You're standing in your grave

Now bring me prisoner 24601
Your time is up
And your parole's begun
You know what that means.

Yes, it means I'm free.

No!
It means you get
Your yellow ticket-of-leave
You are a thief

I stole a loaf of bread.

You robbed a house.

I broke a window pane.
My sister's child was close to death
And we were starving.

You will starve again
Unless you learn the meaning of the law.

I know the meaning of those 19 years
A slave of the law

Five years for what you did
The rest because you tried to run
Yes, 24601.

My name is Jean Valjean

And I am Javert
Do not forget my name!
Do not forget me,
24601.

Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave.
