Tom Waits
Please Call Me, Baby

The evening fell just like a star
Left a trail behind
You spit as you slammed out the door
If this is love we're crazy
As we fight like cats and dogs
But I just know there's got to be more

So please call me, baby
Wherever you are
It's too cold to be out walking in the streets
We do crazy things when we're wounded
Everyone's a bit insane
I don't want you catching your death of cold
Out walking in the rain

I admit that I ain't no angel
I admit that I ain't no saint
I'm selfish and I'm cruel, but you're blind
If I exorcise my devils
Well my angels may leave too
When they leave they're so hard to find

(Chorus)

We're always at each other's throats
It drives me up the wall
Most of the time I'm just blowing off steam
And I wish to God you'd leave me
And I wish to God you'd stay
Life's so different than it is in your dreams

(Chorus)

HAENDEL - For Unto Us A Child Is Born (1742)

George Frideric Handel (23 February 1685 – 14 April 1759) was a German-born Baroque composer who is famous for his operas, oratorios and concerti grossi. Born as Georg Friedrich Händel in Halle, he spent most of his adult life in England, becoming a subject of the British crown on 22 January 1727. His most famous works are Messiah, an oratorio set to texts from the King James Bible; Water Music; and Music for the Royal Fireworks. Strongly influenced by the techniques of the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the English composer Henry Purcell, his music was known to many significant composers who came after him, including Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
Handel's Messiah was first performed in New Musick Hall in Fishamble Street, Dublin on 13 April 1742, with 26 boys and five men from the combined choirs of St Patrick's and Christ Church cathedrals participating.






For Unto Us a Child Is Born

For unto us a Child is born,
unto us a Son is given,
and the government shall be upon His shoulder;
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God,
the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.(Isaiah 9:6)

(Porque un niño nos es nacido, hijo nos es dado, y el principado sobre su hombro; y se llamará su nombre Admirable, Consejero, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.)

THE ROOTS - Break You Off

THE ROOTS – Break You Off

CHORUS:
Comin to break you off
I'm comin to break you off


Bad misses throwing raspberry kisses on me
You looking for direction girl I feel your vision on me
Just don't let him see you sweatin we ain't 'sposed to be involved
Knowin when we get it off girl I mean it all
Keepin ya pheenin til you're taken and tossed
And when I'm breakin it off there's no denying the fact it's strong
Cuz you got a man who's probably playin his part
You probably breakin his heart
He's trying to figure the reason you gone
Is it cuz he's superficial?
Or is he too submissive?
Or did I come along and hit you with the futuristic?
Or is it cuz you really couldn't see a future with him
All he bout is paper never took the time with you to listen
You wanna get gripped up, flipped and thrown
And get stripped and shown
The way to get in the zone. Of course,
Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave him alone and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Chorus

Brother down the hall
The one you bound to call
Workaholics are really I'm rarely around at all
What we started got serious reprecautions in court
We had a chance to turn back, but look now it's what
Late nights twistin something
Listenin to Neicey sing
She got the beef for you telling me you deeply
Appreciate the company, time we spend
I feel the same, it's a shame you ain't my girlfriend
Cuz listen, you need a brotha with the physical fix
That come through in the mix
For you with no head tricks or fraud
You need a new position and who can get you open
Like eucalyptus and have ready to go for yours
Come on and work with me, you won't get hurt with me
Just keep it real and you'll get broken off certainly
Dealing with this you won't be taking a loss
You need to leave him alone and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Chorus

Rollin down the highway, listening to Sade sing
The way the Smooth Operator move my way
You sitting beside me
Looking like Friday Foster, Pam Grier structure
Look at your body
Keep each other thirsty, kisses like Hershey
But lips is sealed cuz we don't need no controversy
I say I'm in town, you say you want it in the worst way
You probably told your man it was your mother's birthday
Meanwhile it's champagne chillin on ice
You ready for the freakiest things you've done in your life
We break it down like road dogs pulling a heist
You makin sounds like the vibe gotcha reaching your height
Prepare for flight
This is your captain
I'm getting strapped in
There's no denying the strength that it's attraction
Girl working with this you won't be taking a loss
So stop fooling your man and roll
With the one who's breaking you off

Bridge
Baby, baby, baby
Don't you worry bout
Nothing cuz I'm comin to
Handle you no doubt
Whenever you want that thing you need
I got it and I aim to please
I'm coming over to give it to you baby

Chorus (fade out)
