Les Misérables opening - Look down
CHORUS
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye
Look down, look down
You're here until you die
1ST CONVICT
The sun is strong
It's hot as hell below
CHORUS
Look down, look down
there's twenty years to go.
2ND CONVICT
I've done no wrong
Sweet Jesus, here my prayer
CHORUS
Look down, look down
Sweet Jesus doesn't care
3RD CONVICT
I know she'll wait
I know that she'll be true
CHORUS
Look down, look down
They've all forgotten you
4TH CONVICT
When I get free
You won't see me
'Ere for dust
CHORUS
Look down, look down
Don't look 'em in the eye.
5TH CONVICT
How long, O Lord
Before you let me die?
CHORUS
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 sisters 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
CHORUS
Look down, look down
You'll always be a slave
Look down, look down
You're standing in your grave.
