Hamilton -Take A Break- Lyrics
[00:04.66] Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
[00:06.16] Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
[00:07.91] Good
[00:09.16] Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
[00:13.90] Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf
[00:15.40] Sept, huit, neuf (sept, huit, neuf)
[00:16.41] Sept, huit, neuf (sept, huit, neuf)
[00:17.91] One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
[00:21.65] My dearest, Angelica
[00:25.16] Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
[00:27.41] Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
[00:30.15] I trust you'll understand the reference to another Scottish tragedy
[00:32.16] Without my having to name the play
[00:35.90] They think me Macbeth, ambition is my folly
[00:38.66] I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain
[00:41.66] Madison is Banquo
[00:43.16] Jefferson's Macduff
[00:44.91] And Birnam Wood is Congress on its way to Dunsinane
[00:47.91] And there you are an ocean away
[00:50.66] Do you have to live an ocean away?
[00:54.41] Thoughts of you subside
[00:55.65] Then I get another letter
[00:57.16] And I cannot put the notion away
[01:00.16] Take a break
[01:01.16] I am on my way
[01:02.66] There's a little surprise before supper and it cannot wait
[01:06.40] I'll be there in just a minute, save my plate
[01:08.41] Alexander
[01:09.66] Okay, okay
[01:10.66] Your son is nine years old today
[01:13.16] He has something he'd like to say
[01:16.16] He's been practicing all day
[01:18.66] Philip, take it away
[01:22.17] Daddy, daddy, look
[01:23.16] My name is Philip
[01:24.41] I am a poet
[01:25.66] I wrote this poem just to show it
[01:28.66] And I just turned nine
[01:31.40] You can write rhymes but you can't write mine
[01:34.16] What!
[01:34.91] I practice French and play piano with my mother
[01:36.91] Uh-huh
[01:37.66] I have a sister but I want a little brother
[01:39.41] Okay
[01:40.65] My daddy's trying to start America's bank
[01:42.91] Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq!
[01:44.16] Bravo!
[01:45.66] Take a break
[01:46.90] Hey, our kid is pretty great
[01:48.41] Run away with us for the summer
[01:50.66] Let's go upstate
[01:52.41] Eliza, I've got so much on my plate
[01:54.16] We can all go stay with my father
[01:57.41] There's a lake I know
[01:58.90] I know
[01:59.91] In a nearby park
[02:02.41] I'd love to go
[02:03.16] You and I can go when the night gets dark
[02:05.16] I will try to get away
[02:09.41] My dearest Alexander, you must get through to Jefferson
[02:12.40] Sit down with him and compromise
[02:14.16] Don't stop 'til you agree
[02:16.16] Your favourite older sister Angelica reminds you
[02:18.41] There's someone in your corner all the way across the sea
[02:21.40] In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
[02:23.91] I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
[02:27.16] It changed the meaning, did you intend this?
[02:30.16] One stroke and you've consumed my waking days
[02:32.90] It says
[02:33.90] "My dearest, Angelica"
[02:36.66] With a comma after dearest
[02:38.66] You've written
[02:39.91] "My dearest, Angelica"
[02:44.41] Anyway, all this to say
[02:46.16] I'm coming home this summer
[02:47.66] At my sister's invitation
[02:49.41] I'll be there with your family if you make your way upstate
[02:52.16] I know you're very busy, I know your work's important
[02:56.15] But I'm crossing the ocean and I just can't wait
[02:58.41] You won't be an ocean away
[03:01.16] You'll only be a moment away
[03:04.16] Alexander come downstairs, Angelica's arriving today
[03:10.16] Angelica!
[03:13.90] Eliza!
[03:16.15] The Schuyler sisters
[03:18.66] Alexander!
[03:21.91] Hi
[03:22.65] It's good to see your face
[03:25.16] Angelica, tell this man, John Adams spends the summer with his family
[03:31.15] Angelica, tell my wife, John Adams doesn't have a real job anyway
[03:36.40] You're not joining us? Wait-
[03:39.41] I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate
[03:42.66] Alexander, I came all this way
[03:45.15] She came all this way
[03:46.66] All this way
[03:47.66] Take a break
[03:48.91] You know I have to get my plan through Congress
[03:50.66] Run away with us for the summer
[03:52.41] Let's go upstate
[03:54.16] I'll lose my job if we don't get this plan through Congress
[03:56.16] We'll all go stay with our father
[03:58.41] There's a lake I know
[04:00.92] I know I'll miss your face
[04:01.66] In a nearby park
[04:04.16] Screw your courage to the sticking place
[04:04.91] You and I can go
[04:06.41] Eliza's right
[04:07.41] Take a break
[04:08.66] Take a break and get away
[04:10.16] Run away with us for the summer
[04:12.40] Let's go upstate
[04:13.91] Where we can stay
[04:15.91] We can all go stay with our father
[04:18.41] If you take your time, you will make your mark
[04:24.16] Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now
[04:27.16] Close your eyes and dream
[04:27.91] We can go
[04:28.91] When the night gets dark
[04:29.66] Take a break
[04:30.91] I have to get my plan through Congress
[04:33.65] I can't stop 'til I get this plan through Congress
