  • Act II

  • "In the barricades the revolutionary students pledge themselves to their fight"

  • "Marius sends a letter to Cosette with Eponine"

  • "Eponine walks the streets of Paris"

  • And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to

  • Without a home, without a friend Without a face to say hello to

  • And now the night is near Now I can make believe he's here

  • Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping

  • I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping

  • The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head

  • On my own Pretending he's beside me

  • All alone, I walk with him till morning

  • Without him I feel his arms around me

  • And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me

  • In the rain the pavement shines like silver

  • All the lights are misty in the river

  • In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight

  • And all I see is him and me for ever and forever

  • And I know it's only in my mind

  • That I'm talking to myself and not to him

  • And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us

  • I love him But when the night is over

  • He is gone, the river's just a river

  • Without him the world around me changes

  • The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers

  • I love him But every day I'm learning

  • All my life I've only been pretending

  • Without me his world will go on turning

  • A world that's full of happiness That I have never known!

  • I love him I love him

  • I love him

  • But only on my own

  • "Eponine joins Marius at the barricades"

  • "At the barricades"

  • "The revolutionary students are ready for the battle"

  • Red - the blood of angry men! Black - the dark of ages past!

  • Red - a world about to dawn! Black - the night that ends at last!

  • Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade

  • Let them come in their legions And they will be met

  • Have faith in yourselves And don't be afraid

  • Let's give 'em a screwing That they'll never forget!

  • - This is where it begins! - And if I should die in the fight to be free

  • Where the fighting is hardest There will I be

  • Let them come if they dare We'll be there!

  • You at the barricade listen to this!

  • No one is coming to help you to fight You're on your own

  • You have no friends Give up your guns - or die!

  • Damn their warnings, damn their lies

  • They will see the people rise!

  • Damn their warnings, damn their lies They will see the people rise!

  • Listen my friends I have done as I said

  • I have been to their lines I have counted each man

  • I will tell what I can

  • Better be warned They have armies to spare And the danger is real

  • We will need all our cunning To bring them to heel

  • Have faith If you know what their movements are

  • We'll spoil their game There are ways that a people can fight We shall overcome their power

  • I have overheard their plans There will be no attack tonight

  • They intend to starve us out Before they start a proper fight

  • Concentrate their force Hit us from the right

  • Liar!

  • Good evening, dear inspector Lovely evening, my dear

  • I know this man, my friends His name is Inspector Javert

  • So don't believe a word he says 'Cause none of it's true

  • This only goes to show What little people can do!

  • And little people know When little people fight

  • We may look easy pickings But we've got some bite

  • So never kick a dog Because he's just a pup

  • We'll fight like twenty armies And we won't give up

  • So you'd better run for cover When the pup grows up!

  • Bravo, little Gavroche, you're the top of the class!

  • So what are we going to do With this snake in the grass?

  • Tie this man and take him To the tavern in there

  • The people will decide your fate Inspector Javert!

  • - Take the bastard now and shoot him! - Let us watch the devil dance!

  • You'd have done the same, Inspector If we'd let you have your chance!

  • Take this man, bring him through There is work we have to do!

  • "Eponine is deadly wounded"

  • Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain

  • A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now

  • You're here, that's all I need to know

  • And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close

  • And rain will make the flowers grow

  • But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above

  • If I could heal your wounds with words of love

  • Just hold me now, and let it be

  • Shelter me, comfort me

  • You would live a hundred years If I could show you how

  • - I won't desert you now... - The rain can't hurt me now

  • This rain will wash away what's past

  • And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close

  • I'll sleep in your embrace at last

  • And rain...

  • Will make the flowers...

  • Grow...

  • "Eponine dies"

  • She is the first to fall The first of us to fall upon this barricade

  • Her name was Eponine Her life was cold and dark

  • Yet she was unafraid

  • 24601

  • "Valjean carries Marius off"

  • Who is this man? What sort of devil is he?

  • To have me caught in a trap And choose to let me go free?

  • It was his hour at last To put a seal on my fate

  • Wipe out the past And wash me clean off the slate!

  • All it would take Was a flick of his knife

  • Vengeance was his And he gave me back my life!

  • Damned if I'll live in the debt of a thief!

  • Damned if I'll yield at the end of the chase

  • I am the Law and the Law is not mocked I'll spit his pity right back in his face

  • There is nothing on earth that we share It is either Valjean or Javert!

  • How can I now allow this man To hold dominion over me?

  • This desperate man whom I have hunted He gave me my life He gave me freedom

  • I should have perished by his hand It was his right

  • It was my right to die as well Instead I live... but live in hell

  • And my thoughts fly apart

  • Can this man be believed? Shall his sins be forgiven?

  • Shall his crimes be reprieved?

  • And must I now begin to doubt Who never doubted all these years?

  • My heart is stone and still it trembles

  • The world I have known is lost in shadow Is he from heaven or from hell?

  • And does he know That granting me my life today

  • This man has killed me even so?

  • I am reaching, but I fall

  • And the stars are black and cold

  • As I stare into the void

  • Of a world that cannot hold

  • I'll escape now from the world From the world of Jean Valjean

  • There is nowhere I can turn There is no way to go on...

  • "Javert throws himself into the swollen river Sena"

  • "The women of Paris mourn their lost loved ones"

  • Did you see them Going off to fight?

  • Children of the barricade Who didn't last the night?

  • Nothing changes, nothing ever will

  • Every year another brat, another mouth to fill

  • Same old story, what's the use of tears?

  • What's the use of praying if there's nobody who hears?

  • Turning, turning, turning, turning, turning Through the years

  • Turning, turning, turning through the years

  • Minutes into hours and the hours into years

  • Nothing changes, nothing ever can

  • Round and round the roundabout and back where you began

  • Round and round and back where you began!

  • "Marius, recovering from his wounds, imagines he's back at the ABC cafe"

  • There's a grief that can't be spoken There's a pain goes on and on

  • Empty chairs at empty tables Now my friends are dead and gone

  • Here they talked of revolution Here it was they lit the flame

  • Here they sang about `tomorrow' And tomorrow never came

  • From the table in the corner They could see a world reborn

  • And they rose with voices ringing I can hear them now!

  • The very words that they had sung Became their last communion

  • On the lonely barricade at dawn

  • Oh my friends, my friends forgive me

  • That I live and you are gone There's a grief that can't be spoken

  • There's a pain goes on and on

  • Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows on the floor

  • Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will meet no more

  • Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me What your sacrifice was for

  • Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will sing no more

  • "Cosette arrives to help Marius in his recovery"

  • Every day, you walk with stronger step You walk with longer step-`The worst is over.'

  • Every day, I wonder every day Who was it brought me here from the barricade?

  • Don't think about it, Marius! With all the years ahead of us!

  • I will never go away And we will be together, every day

  • Every day, we'll remember that night And the vow that we made

  • A heart full of love A night full of you

  • The words are old But always true

  • Oh, God, for shame You did not even know my name!

  • Dear Mad'moiselle I was lost in your spell

  • - A heart full of love - She was never mine to keep

  • - No fear no regret - She is youthful, she is free

  • - `My name is Marius Pontmercy' - Cosette, Cosette!

  • Paris at my feet Paris in the dust

  • And here's me breaking bread With the upper crust!

  • Beggar at the feast! Master of the dance!

  • Life is easy pickings If you grab your chance

  • Everywhere you go Law-abiding folk

  • Doing what is decent But they're mostly broke!

  • Singing to the Lord on Sundays Praying for the gifts He'll send

  • But we're the ones who take it We're the ones who make it in the end!

  • Watch the buggers dance Watch 'em till they drop

  • Keep your wits about you

  • And you stand on top!

  • Masters of the land Always get our share

  • Clear away the barricades And we're still there!

  • We know where the wind is blowing Money is the stuff we smell

  • And when we're rich as Croesus Jesus! Won't we see you all in hell!

  • Alone I wait in the shadows I count the hours till I can sleep

  • I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by It made her weep to know I die

  • Alone at the end of the day Upon this wedding night I pray
