Johanna:
Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it anda sing?
How can anda jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can anda remain
staring at the rain
maddened oleh the stars?
How is it anda sing
anything?
How is it anda sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it anda sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing atau merely aloaming?
Are anda discussing?
atau fussing?
atau simply dreaming?
Are anda crowing?
Are anda screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
bernyanyi to be sold?
Have anda decided it's safer in cages
bernyanyi when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, anda know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.

I know there's already stories on here of how fan found out about sweeney todd, but i thought id like to share mine.
About seven months ago, like around June, i was looking up twilight parodies/spoofs and came across the hillywood show's twilight parody.(at the time, i didnt really know who they were.) i thought "wow, that was incredible!" so i went 2 their website and started watching their vids. and all of anda who r a big fan of johnny depp, you'll cinta the show. so, i got 2 the sweeney todd episodes. i knew who sweeney todd was but i didnt really know the story. i just, anda know, thought that he was killing people for no apparent reason:P i started to really like the music. that led me to buy the cd. which led me to buy the movie. which then led me 2 buy the movie companion book. when it came out 2 theaters and when i saw the trailers, i didnt pay much attention to it. now i do! oh ya and this was also how i am a big fan of johnny depp.
I would hane to say that Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett put the fun in dysfunctional. I loved how Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett would sing, dance and kill their customers on a daily bases like it was just a job. In my opinion Mrs. Lovett was oleh all means the lebih evil out of the two.
I really felt bad for Mrs. Lovett because she loved Sweeney Todd so much and he did not even notice her. The only time he would pay attention to her was when he needed her to do something for him.
It really is a shame because Mrs. Lovett would have made a great wife for Sweeney Todd that is if he loved her at all because she loved him with all her jantung even though she knew that he did not cinta her and yet she would do anything for him.
My friend Rachel and i were talking in Gymnastics class and we got on the subject of Helena Bonham Carter. Rachel asked if i heard of a movie called Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. I told her no. So i go halaman awal and tell my mom and dad on Friday after girl scouts my dad says look at what i found and i look and scream SWEENEY TODD anda FOUND IT! he told me he rented it for the weekend so i got halaman awal and watched it. My first thought was Rachel never berkata it was Rated R! i continue and then i see anthony and think is that Helena but i soon saw mrs.lovett and knew it was Helena who was mrs.lovett. A few weeks later my sister mom and i watch it since we bought it my mom couldn't watch him kill people and sister kept saying that had hurt when they went down the shoot. now i can't stop watching it! Helena and Johnny made it amzing.
After Nellie's dramatic explanation of why she didn't tell him his wife had lived, poor, miserable Sweeney decided that he needed someone to fill his empty heart, even if she was insane. They danced, sang, moved away, and lived happily in a sick, twisted way. Sweeney Todd was never the same, but he was a bit happier with Nellie oleh his side. They had two children, 2 dogs, and a cat. the whole family lived together until their children went to college. then, Nellie ans Sweeney died at the same age, 102.
Well It "started" off at this place called great Yarmouth me and my brothers Jo and Calum and also mum went to the "waxworks" and then we went to the horror part there was other people and stuff aswell oleh the way and well,there he was he is soo "cute"!! I fell in !"love" with him at the start so it was cinta at first sight I "LOVE" HIM!!! (By the way I "HATE" "Mrs Lovett" he is "MINE"!!)P.S Sorry about the spelling mistakes if there was any. PLEASE komentar oleh THE WAY CHEERS :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
