Javert At the Barricade - Live

Now we pledge ourselves to hold this barricade
Let them come in their legions and they will be met
Have faith in yourselves and do not be afraid
Lets give 'em a screwing 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!

Get down!

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

He's back!

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 our 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's 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

Bravo, little Gavroche!
You're the top of the class!

So what're 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

(Shoot the bastard!)

Shoot my now or shoot my later
Every schoolboy to his sport
Death to each and every traitor
I renounce your people's court

Take this man
Bring him through
There is work we have to do

There's a boy climbing the barricade!
