Baker
A baker is someone who makes, bakes and sells breads, rolls, biscuits or cookies, and/or crackers using an oven or other concentrated heat source. Cakes and similar foods may also be produced, as the traditional boundaries between what is produced by a baker as opposed to a pastry chef have blurred in recent decades. The place where a baker works is called a bakery.
Origin
The first group of people to bake bread were ancient Egyptians, around 8000 BC. During the Middle Ages, it was common for each landlord to have a bakery, which was actually a public oven; housewives would bring dough that they had prepared to the baker, who would tend the oven and bake them into bread. As time went on, bakers would also sell their own goods, and in that some bakers acted dishonestly, tricks emerged: for example, a baker might have trap door(s) in the oven or other obscured areas, that would allow a hidden small boy or other apprentice to take off some of the dough brought in for baking. Then the dishonest baker would sell bread made with the stolen dough as their own. This practice and others eventually lead to the famous regulation known as Assize of Bread and Ale, which prescribed harsh penalties for bakers that were found cheating their clients or customers. As a safeguard against cheating, under-filled orders, or any appearance of impropriety, bakers commonly began to throw in one more loaf of bread; this tradition now exists in the phrase "baker's dozen", which is 13.

Not Gonna Wait - EP
by: BakerStrange fear I ain't felt for years
The boy's coming and I'm close to tears
I can't let go of you now
Imagination's playing round for free
In my world I take him out for tea
Oh my God, I can't say no
Skipping school, go walk for air
I just had to get out of bed
I'm on overload in my head
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Life is a dream, time does come true
And in my sleep I think of you
Feather bed by myself
Basically probability
Says that fate's come side with me
It's been so long on my shelf
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
The tension is incredible, boy I'm in charge
You know how I feel for you
Will you stop or will you just keep going
Please don't say no, no, no, no
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
Train comes, I don't know its destination
It's a one way ticket to a madman situation
