Les Miserables movie - The Runaway Cart lyrics
rate me<br>
[The crowd parts to reveal that the cart has crashed, trapping Monsieur Fauchelevant]<br>
<br>
[VOICES]<br>
Look at that!<br>
Look at that!<br>
It's Monsieur Fauchelevant!<br>
Don't approach! Don't go near!<br>
At the risk of your life!<br>
He is caught by the wheel!<br>
Oh, the pitiful man!<br>
Stay away, Turn away!<br>
There is nothing to do!<br>
There is nothing to do!<br>
<br>
[VALJEAN]<br>
Is there anyone here<br>
Who will rescue the man?<br>
Who will help me to shoulder<br>
The weight of the cart?<br>
<br>
[VOICES]<br>
Don't go near him, Mr. Mayor<br>
The load is heavy as hell<br>
The old man's a goner for sure<br>
It'll kill you as well.<br>
<br>
[Valjean attempts to lift the cart... but fails. He tries again. They manage to pull Fauchelevant clear]<br>
<br>
[FAUCHELEVANT]<br>
M'sieur le Mayor, I have no words<br>
You come from God, you are a saint.<br>
<br>
[Javert takes Valjean aside]<br>
<br>
[JAVERT]<br>
Can this be true?<br>
I don't believe what I see!<br>
A man your age<br>
To be as strong as you are!<br>
A mem'ry stirs...<br>
You make me think of a man<br>
From years ago<br>
A man who broke his parole<br>
He disappeared<br>
Forgive me, Sir,<br>
I would not dare!<br>
<br>
[VALJEAN]<br>
Say what you must<br>
Don't leave it there...<br>
<br>
[JAVERT]<br>
I have only known one other<br>
Who can do what you have done<br>
He's a convict from the chain gang<br>
He's been ten years on the run<br>
But he couldn't run forever<br>
We have found his hideaway<br>
And he's just been re-arrested<br>
And he comes to court today.<br>
Well, of course he now denies it<br>
You'd expect that of a `con'<br>
But he couldn't run forever -<br>
No, not even Jean Valjean!<br>
<br>
[VALJEAN]<br>
You say this man denies it all<br>
And gives no sign of understanding or repentance?<br>
You say this man is going to trial<br>
And that's he's sure to be returned<br>
To serve his sentence?<br>
Come to that, can you be sure,<br>
That I am not your man?<br>
<br>
[JAVERT]<br>
I have known the thief for ages<br>
Tracked him down through thick and thin<br>
And to make the matter certain<br>
There's the brand upon his skin<br>
He will bend, he will break<br>
This time there is no mistake.<br>
<br>
[Javert leaves. Valjean is alone]<br>
<br>
