  • Green Finch and Linnet Bird is the fifth song that's in the movie. It's sung by Johanna Barker, the daughter of Sweeney Todd and the young ward of Judge Turpin. In this song, Johanna compares her captivity in the judge's mansion to that of a bird in a cage. It is during this song that Anthony Hope first lays eyes on Johanna and falls in love with her. During the song, Johanna expresses her dreams to be free of her imprisonment in the Judge's house, as well as her inability to cope with the knowledge that she will probably never escape. The original Broadway lyrics contain the lines "Is it for wages, singing to be sold? Have you decided it's safer in cages, singing when you're told?" which implies that Johanna is aware that if she cannot accept the life of near sexual slavery to Judge Turpin she may be forced into a life of prostitution, the usual profession of women without a means of financial support from men during the time period. The song also reveals Johanna's emotional trauma from years of being locked away from the outside world.
