Cover art for My Friends lyrics by Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

My favorite part about this song is that I think it presents what I think to be the central conflict for the first time. It's clear that all this time Todd has been thinking of revenge, while all this time Mrs. Lovett has been thinking of Todd. She makes such overt advances, but he is only concerned with his knives. Tragedy in the making
