[00:36.50] At the end of the day you're day another older
[00:40.05] And that's all you can say for the life of the poor
[00:43.24] It's a struggle, it's a war
[00:45.19] And there's nothing that anyone's giving
[00:46.92] One more day standing about, what is it for?
[00:51.09] One day less to be living.
[00:53.97] At the end of the day you're another day colder
[00:57.28] And the *****rt on your back doesn't keep out the chill
[01:00.72] And the righteous hurry past
[01:02.56] They don't hear the little ones crying
[01:04.31] And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill
[01:08.74] One day nearer to dying!
[01:11.44] At the end of the day there's another day dawning
[01:14.94] And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise
[01:18.32] Like the waves crash on the sand
[01:20.50] Like a storm that'll break any second
[01:21.97] There's a hunger in the land
[01:23.78] There's a reckoning still to be reckoned
[01:24.98] And there's gonna be hell to pay
[01:28.89] At the of end the day!
[01:30.09]
[01:31.65] Foreman: At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
[01:35.09] Sitting flat on butt your doesn't buy any bread
[01:37.58]
[01:38.45] Workers: There are children back at home
[01:40.45] And the children have got to be fed
[01:42.02] And you're lucky to be in a job
[01:43.83] And in a bed!
[01:46.21] And we're counting our blessings!
[01:47.59]
[01:50.65] Women: Have you seen how the foreman is fuming today?
[01:52.66]
[01:54.28] With wandering his terrible breath and his hands?
[01:56.22]
[01:57.91] It's because little Fantine won't give him his way
[01:59.98] Take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands!
[02:02.85] And the boss, he never knows
[02:04.61] That the foreman is always in heat
[02:06.49] If Fantine doesn't look out
[02:08.15] Watch how she goes
[02:10.57] She'll be out on the street!
[02:11.88]
[02:13.37] Workers: At the end of the day it's another day over
[02:16.54] With enough in your pocket to last for a week
[02:20.17] Pay landlord, the pay the shop
[02:21.98] Keep on grafting as long as you're able
[02:24.20] Keep on grafting till you drop
[02:25.64] Or it's back to the crumbs off the table
[02:27.08] You've got to pay your way
[02:30.62] At the end of the day!
[02:31.82]
[02:35.38] Woman: And what have we here, little innocent sister?
[02:38.97] Come on Fantine, let's have all the news!
[02:42.28] Ooh..."Dear Fantine you must send us more money...
[02:44.42] Your child needs a doctor...
[02:45.55] There's no time to lose..."
[02:47.11] Fantine: Give that letter to me
[02:47.98] It is none of your business
[02:50.59] With a husband at home
[02:51.59] And a bit on the side!
[02:54.34] Is there anyone here
[02:55.09] Who can swear before God
[02:56.13] She has nothing to fear?
[02:57.21] She has nothing to hide?
[02:58.20]
[03:06.58] Valjean(as M. Madeleine): What is this fighting all about?
[03:07.96] Will someone tear these two apart
[03:10.65] This is a factory, not a circus!
[03:13.65] Now, come on ladies, settle down
[03:17.22] I run a business of repute
[03:19.15] I am the Mayor of this town
[03:21.72] I look to you to sort this out
[03:23.66] And be as patient as you can
[03:25.36] Foreman: Now someone say how this began!
[03:28.86] Woman: At the end of the day
[03:29.74] She's the one who began it!
[03:31.01]
[03:32.20] There's a kid that she's hiding
[03:33.39] In some little town
[03:35.46] There's a man she has to pay
[03:37.46] You can guess how she picks up the extra
[03:39.08] You can bet she's earning her keep
[03:40.83] Sleeping around
[03:43.41] And the boss wouldn't like it!
[03:44.97]
[03:46.03] Fantine: Yes it's true there's a child
[03:47.29] And the child is my daughter
[03:49.85] And her father abandoned us
[03:51.24] Leaving us flat
[03:52.56]
[03:53.49] Now she lives with an innkeeper man and his wife
[03:55.90] And I pay for the child
[03:56.78] What's the matter with that?
[03:58.12]
[03:59.43] Women: At the end of the day
[04:00.25] She'll be nothing but trouble
[04:02.68] And there's trouble for allWhen there's trouble for one!
[04:05.76] While we're earning our daily bread
[04:06.95] She's the one with her hands in the butter
[04:09.70] You must send the slut away
[04:11.13] Or we're all gonna end in the gutter
[04:12.89] And it's us who'll have to pay
[04:16.27] At the end of the day!
[04:17.42] Foreman: I might have known the ***** could bite
[04:18.91] I might have known the cat had claws
[04:21.04] I might have guessed your little secret
[04:24.19] Ah yes, the virtuous Fantine
[04:27.56] Who keeps herself so pure and clean
[04:29.68] You'd be the cause I had no doubt
[04:31.94] Of any trouble hereabout
[04:33.70] You play a virgin in the light
[04:35.64] But need no urgin' in the night.
[04:37.33] Woman: She's laughing been at you
[04:38.30] While she's having her men
[04:39.18] She'll be nothing but trouble again and again
[04:40.69] Workers: You must sack her You today
[04:41.16] Sack the girl today!
[04:44.17]
[04:45.43] Foreman: Right my girl. On your way!
