Alfie Boe - The Bargain - Live lyrics

Artist: Alfie Boe

album: The Bargain (Live)


I found her wandering in the woods
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
Who's this bloke?
And I am here to help Cosette
And I will settle any debt you may think proper
I will pay
Pay?
What I must pay
To take Cosette away
There is a duty I must heed
Right?
There is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need
Oh? What's he on about?
I don't know
I did not see what stood before me
Now her mother is with God
Says now her mother is with god
I heard
Oh
Fantine's suffering is over
Oh blimey Fantine's snuffed it
Shh!
And I speak here with her voice
And I stand here in her place
From this day and evermore
Let me have your coat, M'sieur
Cosette shall live in my protection
You are very welcome here
I shall not forsake my vow
Take a glass
Take a chair
Cosette shall have a father now
Leave it to me, I've got this
What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem, what a pearl
Beyond rubies is our little girl
How can we, speak of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Courgette
Sette!
Sette
Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for her child what is best?
Shared our bread, didn't we?
Shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own
Like our own, Monsieur
Your feelings do you credit, sir
Oh, thank you
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now may I say we are agreed?
Oh!
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
Shocking!
Not that we begrudged a sou
No no no no
It's no more than we Christians must do!
One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offense, please reflect
Your intentions might not be, correct
No more words, here's your price
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice
Come, Cosette, say goodbye
Bye!
Let us seek out some friendlier sky
Thank you both
Ej!?
For Cosette
Whatever
It won't take you too long to forget
Fifteen hundred!? It's all mine!
