"How Many More Times" was listed as 3:30 on the record sleeve deliberately by Jimmy Page inorder to trick radio stations into playing the song.

Robert Plant participated in songwriting, but wasn't given credit due to unexpired contractualobligations.

Some cassette versions of the album reversed the order of the sides. For these versions, sideone began with "Your Time Is Gonna Come" and ended with "How Many More Times", while sidetwo began with "Good Times, Bad Times" and ended with "Dazed and Confused".

Led Zeppelin's front cover, which was chosen by Page, features a black-and-white image of theburning Hindenburg airship. The image refers to the origin of the band's name itself.

"Good Times Bad Times"

In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man,Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can.

No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam.

[Chorus]Good Times, Bad Times, you know I had my share;When my woman left home for a brown eyed man,Well, I still don't seem to care.

Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be,Only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me.



She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end,But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh.

[Chorus]

I know what it means to be alone, I sure do wish I was at home.I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day.You can feel the beat within my heart.Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part.

"Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"

Babe, baby, baby, I'm Gonna Leave You.I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.I'll leave you when the summertime,Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'Leave you when the summer comes along.

Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.

Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin',We really got to ramble.I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do,I can hear it callin' me back home!

Babe...I'm gonna leave youOh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave youOh I can hear it callin 'meI said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?

I know I never never never gonna leave your babeBut I got to go away from this place,I've got to quit you, yeah

Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin' me?Woman, woman, I know, I knowIt feels good to have you back againAnd I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.Come what may, every day

It was really, really good.You made me happy every single day.But now... I've got to go away!

Baby, baby, baby, babyThat's when it's callin' me

I said that's when it's callin' me back home...

"You Shook Me"

You know you shook me. You shook me all night long. [X2] You shook me so hard baby. Baby, baby, please come home.

I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing. [X2] I have a baby, won't do nothing ...oh, buy a diamond ring.



I said you shook me, baby. You shook me all night long. [X2] You shook me so hard, baby. You shook me all night long.

"Dazed And Confused"

Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true.Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.Lots of people talk and few of them know,soul of a woman was created below.

You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies.Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize.Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been.Gonna love you baby, here I come again.

Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned payTry to love you baby, but you push me away.Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been,Sweet little baby, I want you again.

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true.Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?

"Your Time Is Gonna Come"

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin, that's all you seem to do.Messin' around with every guy in town,Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new.Always the same, playin' your game,Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you,One of these days and it won't be long,

You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone.This is all I gotta say to you woman:

[Chorus] Your Time Is Gonna Come [X4]

Made up my mind to break you this time,Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry.Do want you want, I won't take the brunt.It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore.Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay,Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart.People talkin' all around,

Watch out woman, no longerIs the joke gonna be on my heart.You been bad to me woman,But it's coming back home to you.

[Chorus]



"Communication Breakdown"

Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'!Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin.I don't know what it is that I like about you, but I like it a lot.Won't let me hold you, Let me feel your lovin' charms.

[Chorus] Communication Breakdown, It's always the same,I'm having a nervous breakdown, Drive me insane!

Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know.Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so.I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!I'm never gonna let you go,'Cause I like your charms.

[Chorus] [Chorus]

"I Can't Quit You Baby"

I can't quit you babeWoman I think I'm gonna put you down for a little whileI can't quit you babeI... think I'm gonna put you down for a whileI said you messed up my happy homeMade me mistreat my only child

You built my hopes so highBaby then you let me down so lowYou built my hopes so high then ya let me down... so lowDon'tcha realize sweet baby?Woman I don't know... which way to go

Woman I can't quit you babeI think I'm gonna put you down for a while.

"How Many More Times"

How Many More Times, treat me the way you wanna do? [X2] When I give you all my love, please, please be true.

I'll give you all I've got to give, rings, pearls, and all. [X2] I've got to get you together baby, I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl.

[spoken]

I was a young man, I couldn't resistStarted thinkin' it all over, just what I had missed.Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then...Whoops, oh Lordy, well I did it again.Now I got ten children of my ownI got another child on the way that makes eleven.But I'm in constant heaven.I know it's all right in my mind'Cause I got a little schoolgirl and she's all mineI can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit



But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give.

Oh, Rosie, oh, girl. [X2] Steal away now, steal away [X2] Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play.

Well they call me the hunter, that's my name.They call me the hunter, that's how I got my fame.Ain't no need to hide, Ain't no need to run.'Cause I've got you in the sights of my..........gun!

How Many More Times, barrelhouse all night long. [X2] I've got to get to you, baby, baby, please come home.

[Chorus]

Way down inside... woman... You need... love.



Shake for me, girl. I wanna be your backdoor man.Keep it coolin', baby.

"What Is And What Should Never Be"

And if I say to you tomorrow. Take my hand, child, come with me.It's to a castle I will take you, where what's to be, they say will be.

[Chorus] Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.But the wind won't blow, you really shouldn't go, it only goes to showThat you will be mine, by takin' our time.

And if you say to me tomorrow, oh what fun it all would be.Then what's to stop us, pretty baby. But What Is And What Should Never Be.

[Chorus]

So if you wake up with the sunrise, and all your dreams are still as new,And happiness is what you need so bad, girl, the answer lies with you.

[Chorus]

Oh the wind wont blow and we really shouldn't go and it only goes to show.Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin, we're gonna...sail, little girldo do do, bop bop a do-oh, my my my my my my yeah.Everybody I know seems to know me wellbut they're never gonna know that I move like hell.

"The Lemon Song"

I should have quit you, long time ago. [X2] I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor.

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind [X2] Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, you send me the blues way down the line.

Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied.Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive.

Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can,Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man.I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago.I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor.

Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg. [X2]

The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed.

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.

"Thank You"

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.



Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

"Hartbreaker"

Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.

The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you.I try to make love but it ain't no use.

Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;

Go away, Heartbreaker.

"Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)"

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac.Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

[Chorus] Come on, babe on the round about, ride on the merry-go-round,We all know what your name is, so you better lay your money down.

Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills.Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

[Chorus]

Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be.Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.With the butler and the maid and the servants three.



Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Nobody hears a single word you say.Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day.Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

[Chorus]

Livin', Lovin', She's just a woman.

"Ramble On"

Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...

[Chorus]

Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.And to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.

[Chorus]

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.

But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.

[Chorus]

Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...Gonna work my way, round the world. I can't stop this feelin' in my heartGotta keep searchin' for my baby. I can't find my bluebird!

"Bring It On Home"

Baby, baby... I'm gonna bring it on home to you.I've got my ticket, I've got that load. Got up, gone higher, all aboard.Take my seat, right way back. ooh yeah. Watch this train roll down the track.

I'm gonna bring it on home, Bring it on home to you.Watch out, watch out...

Try to tell you baby, what you tryin' to do?Tryin' to love me baby, love some other man too.Bring it on home...

Went a little walk downtown, messed and got back late.Found a note there waiting, it said, "Daddy, I just can't wait."Bring it on home... Bring it back home to me baby...



Tell you, pretty baby, you love to mess me `round.I'm gonna give you lovin', baby, gonna move you out o' town.Bring it on home...

Sweetest little baby, daddy ever saw.I'm gonna give you lovin' baby, I'm gonna give you more.Bring it on home...

Bring it on home, Bring it on home to you...

"Immigrant Song"

Ah, ah,We come from the land of the ice and snow,

From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,We come from the land of the ice and snow,From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

"Friends"

Bright light almost blinding, black night still there shining,I can't stop, keep on climbing, looking for what I knew.

Had a friend, she once told me, "You got love, you ain't lonely,"



Now she's gone and left me only looking for what I knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

Met a man on the roadside crying, without a friend, there's no denying,You're incomplete, they'll be no finding looking for what you knew.

So anytime somebody needs you, don't let them down, although it grieves you,Some day you'll need someone like they do, looking for what you knew.

Mmm, I'm telling you now, The greatest thing you ever can do now,Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now, It's very easy just...

"Celebration Day"

Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding,And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know.And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing,And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go.

[Chorus] My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band,We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, We are in the promised land.

She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in,Then she wonders what it's all about when they break down the door.

Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well,You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell.

[Chorus] There is a train that leaves the station heading for your destination,

But the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more.Yes, it has!And if you walk you're gonna get there though it takes a little longer,And when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan.

"Since I've Been Loving You"

Working from seven to eleven every night,It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right.I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could.'Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby,How I love you, girl, little girl.But baby, Since I've Been Loving You. I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

Everybody trying to tell me that you didn't mean me no good.I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you, Let me tell you I really did the best I could.I've been working from seven to eleven every night, I said It kinda makes my life a drag.Lord, that ain't right...Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose my worried mind.

Said I've been crying, my tears they fell like rain,Don't you hear, Don't you hear them falling,Don't you hear, Don't you hear them falling.



Do you remember mama, when I knocked upon your door?I said you had the nerve to tell me you didn't want me no more, yeahI open my front door, hear my back door slam,You must have one of them new fangled back door man.

I've been working from seven, seven, seven, to eleven every night, It kinda makes my life a drag...Baby, Since I've Been Loving You, I'm about to lose, I'm about lose to my worried mind.

"Out On The Tiles"

As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,And a train that's passin' my way helps the rhythm move along.There is no doubt about the words are clear,The voice is strong, is oh so strong.

I'm just a simple guy, I l ive from day to day.A ray of sunshine melts my frown and blows my blues away,There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like todayI pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.

[Chorus] All I need from you is all your love,All you got to give to me is all your love,All I need from you is all your love,All you got to give to me is all your love.Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.

I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am,I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man,One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the lovingLike nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.

Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,People go and people come, see my rider right by my side,It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a raceAnd the best thing I can do is run.

[Chorus]

"Gallows Pole"

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,Think I see my friends coming, Riding a many mile.Friends, did you get some silver?Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me, my dear friends, To keep me from the Gallows Pole?What did you bring me to keep me from the Gallows Pole?

I couldn't get no silver, I couldn't get no gold,You know that we're too damn poor to keep you from the Gallows Pole.Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while,I think I see my brother coming, riding a many mile.Brother, did you get me some silver?Did you get a little gold?What did you bring me, my brother, to keep me from the Gallows Pole?



Brother, I brought you some silver,I brought a little gold, I brought a little of everythingTo keep you from the Gallows Pole.Yes, I brought you to keep you from the Gallows Pole.

Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile,I think I see my sister coming, riding a many mile, mile, mile.Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand,Take him to some shady bower, save me from the wrath of this man,Please take him, save me from the wrath of this man, man.

Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile,Pray tell me that I'm free to ride,Ride for many mile, mile, mile.

Oh, yes, you got a fine sister, She warmed my blood from cold,Brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the Gallows Pole,Your brother brought me silver, Your sister warmed my soul,But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the Gallows Pole

Swingin' on the gallows pole!

"Tangerine"

Measuring a summer's day, I only finds it slips away to grey,The hours, they bring me pain.

[Chorus] Tangerine, Tangerine, Living reflection from a dream;I was her love, she was my queen, And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be, Does she still remember times like these?

To think of us again? And I do.

[Chorus]

"That's The Way"

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you,I can't play with you no more,I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,My friend, the girl next door.I can't believe what people saying,You're gonna let your hair hang down,I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,

You're in the darker side of town.

And when I'm out I see you walking,Why don't your eyes see me,Could it be you've found another game to play,What did mama say to me.

That's the way, oh,That's the way it ought to be,Yeah, yeah, mama say



That's the way it ought to stay.

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,But all that lives is born to die.And so I say to you that nothing really matters,And all you do is stand and cry.

I don't know what to say about it,When all you ears have turned away,But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,Is that the way it ought to stay?

That's the way...That's the way it oughtta beOh don't you know now, mama said..

That's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.

"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp"

Ah caught you smiling at me, That's the way it should be,Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.

Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so gladAlways smiling, never sad, so fine.

[Chorus] As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song,Hear me calling your name.

Hear the wind within the trees, Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.

Well if the sun shines so bright, Or on our way it's darkest nightThe road we choose is always right, so fine.

Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrongWill our love go on and on...

[Chorus]

My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,Tell your friends all around the world,Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.

Come on now well let me tell you,What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.

So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure,Angels singing all around my door, so fine.Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you,You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.

When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again,



We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs,Hear me call your name.

"Hats Off To (Roy) Harper"

When I done quit hollerin' baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on downGet my babe, won't be late, You know by that I mean seconds lateAh, must I holler, Must I shake 'em on down,Well I've been mistreated, babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.Well I ain't no monkey. I can't climb no tree,No brown skin woman gonna make no monkey out of me,I ain't no monkey, Sure can't climb no tree,I been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down,Well I've been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Listen mama, Put on your mornin' gown'Put in your nightshirt Mama we gonna shake 'em downMust I holler? Must I shake 'em on down?

Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill,

If that don't get her, Sure my shot, shot, shot-gun will,Yeah, I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill,If that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shot-gun will.

It has no official title printed anywhere on the

album, but is generally called Led Zeppelin IV after the band's previous three numberedalbums. Atlantic Records catalogs have usedthe names Four Symbols and The Fourth Album ; it has also been referred to as Zoso ,which the first symbol appears to spell.


The four symbols on the label and inside sleeve of Led Zeppelin IV, representing Jimmy Page,John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and Robert Plant (from left to right) respectively, they are alsothought to represent fire, water, earth and air. The symbols are ancient Pagan sigils for these fourelements, and may be referred to as both Runes and sigils.

Jimmy Page's symbol is generally referred to as "ZoSo," although the symbol is a pictograph andnot a word to be pronounced in that fashion. Page designed it by altering a symbol he found in abook on alchemy.

John Paul Jones' symbol is a single circle intersecting 3 vesica pisces (a triquetra). According toThe Book of Signs by Rudolf Koch, it symbolises a person with confidence and competence, andalso represents water which is one of the base elements.

John Bonham's symbol, the three interlocking rings, represents the trinity of mother, father andchild. It could also depict an aerial view of a drum kit. It does in fact represent the idea of trilogies



and trios, and, more commonly, is a Christian symbol for the Trinity. It is also a Pagan symbol forthe Celtic Goddess Brigid (Breed), Goddess of the home, hearth, forge and poetry. In the 1990Bonham tribute radio special, "It's Been a Long Time," son Jason Bonham stated that the symbolwas chosen as a representation of man, woman, and child.

Robert Plant's symbol is the feather of the Egyptian goddess Ma'at, (representing purity, order,truth, justice, fairness, and the wholeness of the Universe), encapsulated by an unbroken circlerepresenting the cyclical and perpetual concept of life so important to the Egyptians. According toEgyptian mythology, after a person dies, their soul is led into a hall of judgment in Duat by Anubis(God of Mummification and Death). The deceased's heart, which is the record of the morality ofthe owner, is weighed against a single feather representing Ma'at (the concept of truth and order).A heart that weighs the same or less than the feather is considered a pure heart, not weigheddown by the guilt or wrongfulness of one's actions in life, resulting in the spirit of the deceasedbeing taken by Osiris (the God of the Afterlife) to Aaru, from where the spirit will be reborn. Aheart which weighs more than the feather of Ma'at is laden with guilt and wrongdoing, resulting init being devoured by the monster Ammit (Eater of Hearts) - a garish mix of crocodile, hippo andlion- and will remain in Duat for eternity, rather than proceeding to the Afterlife and subsequentrebirth.

"Black Dog"

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move, gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing, gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way, watch your honey drip, can't keep away.

[Chorus] Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah. Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, can't stand still, got a flame in my heart, can't get my fill.Eyes that shine burning red, dreams of you all through my head.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby, Tell me won't you you do me now.

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out, what people mean my down and out.Spent my money, took my car, started telling her friends she wants to be a star.I don't know but I been told, a big-legged woman ain't got no soul.

[Chorus]

All I ask for when I pray, steady rollin' woman gonna come my way.Need a woman gonna hold my hand, won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

"Rock And Roll"

It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back,Let me get it back, baby, where I come from.It's been a long time, been a long time,Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has.

It's been a long time since the book of love,



I can't count the tears of a life with no love.Carry me back, carry me back,Carry me back, baby, where I come from.It's been a long time, been a long time,Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

Seems so long since we walked in the moonlight,Making vows that just can't work right.Open your arms, opens your arms,Open your arms, baby, let my love come running in.It's been a long time, been a long time,Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

"The Battle Of Evermore"

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh war is the common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.



"Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is goldAnd she's buying the stairway to heaven.When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closedWith a word she can get what she came for.Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.Ooh, it makes me wonder,Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,And my spirit is crying for leaving.In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,And the voices of those who stand looking.Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tuneThen the piper will lead us to reason.And a new day will dawn for those who stand longAnd the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,It's just a spring clean for the May queen.Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long runThere's still time to change the road you're on.And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,The piper's calling you to join him,Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you knowYour stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soul.There walks a lady we all knowWho shines white light and wants to showHow everything still turns to gold.And if you listen very hardThe tune will come to you at last.When all are one and one is all,

To be a rock and not to roll.And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

"Misty Mountain Hop"

Walkin' in the park just the other day, Baby,What do you, what do you think I saw?Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,"Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"And you know how it is;



I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,So I asked them if I could stay awhile.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,Really out of my mind.Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,"Please, hey, would we care to all get in line,Get in line."Well you know, They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,And Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it?There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'Ah, not trying to fight it.You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh,I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh.

If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,You better open your eyes.

Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don'tWhich, which way the pressure lies,So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.So I'm packing my bags for the Misty MountainsWhere the spirits go now,Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.I really don't know.

"Four Sticks"

Oh, Baby, it's cryin' time, Oh, Baby, I got to fly.Got to try to find a way, Got to try to get away,'Cause you know I gotta get away from you, Babe.

Oh, Baby, the river's red, Oh, Baby, in my head.There's a funny feelin' goin' on, I don't think I can hold out long.

[Chorus] And when the owls cry in the night, Oh, Baby, Baby, when the pines begin to cry,Baby, Baby, Baby, how do you feel? If the river runs dry, Baby,How do you feel?

Craze, Baby, the rainbow's end, Baby, it's just a denFor those who hide, Who hide their love to depths of lifeAnd ruin dreams that we all knew so, Babe.[Chorus]

"Going To California"

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an aching in my heart.Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that they're all the same.The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shakeas the children of the sun began to awake.



Seems that the wrath of the GodsGot a punch on the nose and it started to flow;I think I might be sinking.Throw me a line if I reach it in timeI'll meet you up there where the pathRuns straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la laRide a white mare in the footsteps of dawnTryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

"When The Levee Breaks"

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break, [X2] When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, [X2] Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.

Don't it make you feel badWhen you're tryin' to find your way home,You don't know which way to go?If you're goin' down SouthThey go no work to do,If you don't know about Chicago.

Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,

When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.

All last night sat on the levee and moaned, [X2] Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home.Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you...Going down... going down now... going down....

"The Song Remains The Same"

I had a dream. Crazy dream.Anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go

Hear my song. People won't you listen now? Sing along.You don't know what you're missing now.Any little song that you knowEverything that's small has to grow.And it has to grow!

California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rainHonolulu Starbright - the song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding... sliding... sliding through.

"The Rain Song"

This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to knowYou are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all fromtime to time.



Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winterI never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...But I know that I love you so

These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fallThis is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.

"Over The Hills And Far Away"

Hey lady--you got the love I needMaybe more than enough.Oh Darling... walk a while with meYou've got so much...

Many have I loved - Many times been bittenMany times I've gazed along the open road.

Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Many dreams come true and some have silver liningsI live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.

Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missingMany many men can't see the open road.

Many is a word that only leaves you guessingGuessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!You really ought to know...

"The Crunge"

I wanna tell you bout my good thingI ain't disclosing no names but--He sure is a good friend and!I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, no!If I tell you you wont come again! Hey!I ain't gonna tell you nothin but I do will, but I know, yeah!I should do but I know now let me tell you bout my girl:Open up a newspaper and what do I see? Ahh, ahSee my girl, ah, looking at meOoh, And when she walks, Ooh, lemme tell ya:She walks and when she talks, she talks andWhen she looks at me in the eye

She's my baby lord I wanna make her mineTell me baby what you want me to do!You want me to love you, love some other man too?Ain't gonna call me Mr. pitiful, no!I don't need no respect from nobody...

I ain't gonna tell you nothing I ain't gonna no more, no!She's my baby let me tell you that I love her so andAnd! She's the woman I really wanna loveAnd let me tell you more, oooh!



She's my baby she lives next doorShe's the one a woman the one a woman that I know.I ain't gonna... tell you one thing that you really ought to know ooh!She's my lover baby and I love her so andShe's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl!And she's the kind of lover that makes me me fill the whole world andShe's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ooh!She's the kind of girl--I know what it's all about!Take it take it

Excuse meOh will you excuse meI'm just trying to find the bridge... Has anybody seen the bridge?

(Have you seen the bridge?)I ain't seen the bridge!

(Where's that confounded bridge?) [spoken by Robert Plant]

"Dancing Days"

Dancing days are here again as the summer evenings growI got my flower, I got my power, I got a woman who knows.

[CHORUS] I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only. Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident, In the way that you're wearing your clothesSippin'' booze is precedent as the evening starts to glow.

[CHORUS]

I told your mamma I'd get you home but I didn't tell her I had no carI saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar.

[CHORUS]

Dancing days are here again as the summer evening growsYou are my flower, you are my powerYou are my woman who knows.

[CHORUS]

"D'yer Mak'er"

Oh oh oh oh oh ohYou don't have to go oh oh oh oh ohYou don't have to go oh oh oh oh ohBaby please don't go.

Ay ay ay ay ay ayAll those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ayAll those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ayBaby please don't go.



[CHORUS]

When I read the letter you wrote, it made me mad mad madWhen I read the news that it brought me, t made me sad sad sad.But I still love you so, I can't let you goI love you- ooh baby I love you.

Oh oh oh oh oh ohEvery breath I take oh oh oh oh ohEvery move I make oh oh oh oh ohBaby please don't go.

Ay ay ay ay ay ayYou hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ayYou hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ayDarling please don't go.

[CHORUS] Oh oh oh oh oh oh

You don't have to go oh oh oh oh ohYou don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh(Baby please don't go)

"No Quarter"

Close the door, put out the light.You know they won't be home tonight.The snow falls hard and don't you know?The winds of Thor are blowing cold.They're wearing steel that's bright and trueThey carry news that must get through.

They choose the path where no-one goes.

They hold no quarter.

Walking side by side with death, The devil mocks their every stepThe snow drives back the foot that's slow, The dogs of doom are howling moreThey carry news that must get through, To build a dream for me and you

They choose the path where no-one goes.

They hold no quarter. They ask no quarter.The pain, the pain without quarter.They ask no quarter.

The dogs of doom are howling more!

"The Ocean"

[Count-In: John Bonham] - "We've done four already but now we're steadyand then they went: One, two, three, four"

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rainHitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grainAin't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door



Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roarPlay for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more!Singing about good things and the sun that lights the dayI used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way.

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into dayUsed to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed awayNow I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heartShe is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

"The Rover"

I've been to London, seen seven wonders. I know to trip is just to fallI used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it. I always knew what it was for.

There can be no denyin' that the wind 'll shake 'em downAnd the flat world's flyin'. There's a new plague on the land

If we could just join hands [X3]

Traversed the planet when heaven sent me. I saw the kings who rule them allStill by the firelight and purple moonlight. I hear the rested rivers callAnd the wind is crying, from a love that won't grow cold

My lover, she is lying, on the dark side of the globe

If we could just join hands [X3]

You got me rockin' when I ought to be a-rollin'Darlin', tell me, darlin', which way to goYou keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stolenWon't you tell me, darlin', which way to go... that's right

Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry and I would dearly like to knowI've all this wonder of earthly plunder will it leave us anything to show

And our time is flyin' see the candle burnin' low

Is the new world rising, from the shambles of the old

If we could just join hands.

If my wings should fail me, Lord. Please meet me with another pair

Well, well, well, so I can die easy [X2]

Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody...Jesus gonna make up... Jesus gonna make you my dyin' bed

Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven... Won't you let me inI never did no harm. I never did no wrong



Oh, Gabriel, let me blow your horn. Let me blow your hornOh, I never did, did no harm.

I've only been this young once. I never thought I'd do anybody no wrongNo, not once.

Oh, I did somebody some good. Somebody some good...Oh, did somebody some good. I must have did somebody some good...

And I see them in the streetsAnd I see them in the fieldAnd I hear them shouting under my feetAnd I know it's got to be realOh, Lord, deliver meAll the wrong I've doneYou can deliver me, LordI only wanted to have some fun.

Hear the angels marchin', hear the' marchin', hear them marchin',hear them marchin', the' marchin'

Oh my Jesus... [repeat]

Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin'...

[Studio Chatter:] "That's gonna be the one, isn't it? ""Come have a listen, then. "Oh yes, thank you."

"Houses Of The Holy"

Let me take you to the movies. Can I take you to the showLet me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden grow

From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves goFrom the door comes Satan's daughter, and it only goes to show. You know.

There's an angel on my shoulder, In my hand a sword of goldLet me wander in your garden. And the seeds of love I'll sow. You know.

So the world is spinning faster. Are you dizzy when you're stonedLet the music be your master. Will you heed the master's callOh... Satan and man.

Said there ain't no use in crying. Cause it will only, only drive you madDoes it hurt to hear them lying? Was this the only world you had? Oh-oh

So let me take you, take you to the movie. Can I take you, baby, to the show.Why don't you let me be yours ever truly. Can I make your garden growYou know.



"Trampled Underfoot"

Greased and slicked down fine, groovy leather trimI like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love [X3]

Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's flowMama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all


Dig that heavy metal underneath your hoodBaby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools


A model built for comfort, really built with styleSpecialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes


Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to riseGuaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size


Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the redGun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head.

Talkin' 'bout love [X3] I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred milesBaby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive


Fully automatic, comes in any sizeMakes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized


Feather-light suspension, Koni's couldn't holdI'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors


Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love.



"Kashmir"

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreamI am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have beenTo sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seenThey talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my earBut not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clearOh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the groundAnd my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted landTrying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dreamHeed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return againSure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of yearsWith no provision but an open face, along the straits of fearOhh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeahWhen I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so downOoh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there.

"In The Light"

And if you feel that you can't go on. And your will's sinkin' lowJust believe and you can't go wrong.In the light you will find the road. You will find the road

Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the coldI know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul.Baby, I just want to show you what a clear view it is from every bend in the road.Now listen to me

Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honeyAs you would for me, oh, I would share your load.Let me share your load. Ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can't go onIn the light you will find the road

Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be soWhen love is pain it can devour you, if you are never aloneI would share your load. I would share your load



Baby, let me, oh, let me

In the lightEverybody needs the light.In the light, in the light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the lightLight, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeahLight, light, light, in the light

"Down By The Seaside"

Down by the seaside. See the boats go sailin'Can the people hear, What the little fish are sayin'

Oh, oh, the people turned away. Oh, the people turned away

Down in the city streets, see all the folk go racin', racin'No time left, to pass the time of day

The people turned away. The people turned awaySo far away, so far away

See how they run, see how they run, see how they run, see how they run.

Do you still do the twistDo you find you remember things that wellI wanna tell you... Some go twistin' every daythough sometimes it's awful hard to tell

Out in the country, hear the people singin'Singin' 'bout their progress, knowin' where they're goin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, the people turned awayYes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rainAnd show your love for Lady Nature. And she will come back againThe people turned awayThe people turned away

"Ten Years Gone"

Then as it was, then again it will beAn' though the course may change sometimesRivers always reach the sea

Blind stars of fortune, each have several raysOn the wings of maybe, down in birds of preyKind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to growBut as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with meIn the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em badDid you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had



Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would

Through the eyes an' I sparkle, Senses growing keenTaste your love along the way, See your feathers preenKind of makes makes me feel sometimes, Didn't have to growWe are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to meNever thought I'd see your face the way it used to beOh darlin', oh darlin'

"The Wanton Song"

Silent woman in the night, you came, Took my seed from my shaking frame.Same old fire, another flame, And the wheel rolls on.

Silent woman through the flames, you come, From the deep behind the sunSeems my nightmares, have just begunLeft me barely holding on.

With blazing eyes you see my trembling hand.When we know the time has comeLose my senses, lose commandFeel your healing rivers run

Is it every time I fall, That I think this is the oneIn the darkness can you hear me callAnother day has just begun.

Silent woman, my face is changedSome know in ways to come.

Feel my fire needs a brand new flameAnd the wheels rolls on.... rolls on.

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the sameYou know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need.

Hours, hours, and the moments in between, Oh, baby, I couldn't count the timesthe fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the sameYou know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,

Ooh, that's right.

The cover and inside sleeve of this album,created by Hipgnosis, features variousimages of people interacting with a blackobelisk-shaped object. Inside the albumsleeve, the item is referred to simply as "TheObject". It was intended to represent the"force and presence" of Led Zeppelin.


"Achilles' Last Stand"

It was an April morning when they told us we should goAs I turn to you, you smiled at meHow could we say no?

With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always hadOh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again

Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they knowBelow the streets that steam and hiss,The devil's in his hole

Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other daysOh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.

Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flownThe shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground

Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the dinOh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd



To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfoldsWith guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone

If one bell should ring, in celebration for a kingSo fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.

Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glowAs far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow

Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the painOh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again

Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the searchThe mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth

The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earthFrom the earth...

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way [X2]

Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.

"For Your Life"

You said I was the only, With my lemon in your handExhibition is your habit, Emotion second hand.Had to pull away to save me, Maybe next time aroundAnd she said, 'don't you want it?Don't you want cocaine-cocaine-cocaineHadn't planned to, could not stand to try it, fry it, na na na yeah.

Heard a cry for mercy, In the city of the damned

Oh oh babe, damned. Down in the pits you go no lowerThe next stop's underground. Oh, hello underground.Wine and roses ain't quite over, fate deals a losing handAnd I said: didn't mean to... did not mean to failYou didn't plan it, you over-ran it

You wanna do it, you wannaYou wanna do it when you wannaYou wanna do it, do it when you wanna

When you blow it, babe, You got to blow it rightOh baby, if you fake it, mama, Baby, fake with all your mightWhen you fake it, mama, Please fake it right (for yourself babe)

When you fake it baby,You're fakin' it for your life, for your life, for your life, for your lifeDo it, do it, do it, do it, do it, Do it when you wannaDo it, do it, do it, Do it when you wanna

Oh, I can have you, baby, But I don't know what to do, yeahSometime, baby, nothin' I could doOn the balance of a crystal, Payin' through the noseAnd when they couldn't resist you, I thought you'd go with the flow.



And now your stage is empty, bring down the curtain, baby please.Fold up your showHadn't planned to, Could not stand to fry in itHadn't planned it, I over-ran it, (fryin)For your life, For your life.

"Royal Orleans"

One time love, take care how you use itTry to make it last all night, And if you take your pickBe careful how you choose it, Sometimes its hard to feel it biteFeel it bite.

A man I know, went down to Louisiana,had himself a bad, bad fightAnd when the sun peeked throughJohn Cameron with Suzanna,He kissed the whiskers, left & rightWhiskers!

Now, now, now, fright subsidesOut at a hotel in the quarter, our friends check in to pass the nightNow love gets hot, but fire preceded waterPoor whiskers set the room alight.Whiskers!

Down on Bourbon street, You know it's rightYou can see my friend, they run around all through the nightMost everywhere, Until the closet's bareRun for the razor, Doin' up my hair

New Orleans queens, Sure know how to schmooze it

Maybe for some that seems alrightWhen I step out, strut down with my sugarShe'd best not talk like Barry White!

One time love, take care how you use itTry to make it last all night, And if you take your pickBe careful how you choose it, Sometimes its hard to feel it biteFeel it bite.

"Nobody's Fault But Mine"

Nobody's fault but mine [X2] Trying to save my soul tonight

It's nobody's fault but mine

Devil he told me to roll [X2] How to roll the log tonightNobody's fault but mine

Brother he showed me the gong?Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dongHow to roll, the log tonightOh, it's nobody's fault but mine



Got a monkey on my back. [X2] Gonna change my ways tonightNobody's fault but mine

I will get down rollin' tonightNobody's fault

"Candy Store Rock"

Well... Oh baby baby. Don't you want a man like me?Oh baby baby, I'm just as sweet as anybody could beOh baby baby, I want to look to your eyes, of blueOh baby baby, It's more than anybody else could do

Well... Oh baby baby. You know when I see you walkin down the streetOh baby baby, Well you lookin good enough to eatOh baby baby, I dont believe I've tasted this beforeOh baby baby, I want it nowAnd every mouthfull more of you.

Talk about you, Yeah.

Oh baby baby, You know that I wanted it moreOh baby baby, I'm about to kiss goodbye to this storeOh baby baby, It ain't the wrapping that sells the goodsOh baby baby, I got a sweet tooth when my mouth is full of you.

Ooh baby oh baby its alright, its alrightOhh baby its alright...its alright

Well, oh baby, baby, oh you sting like a beeOh baby, baby, I like your honey and it sure likes me

Oh baby, baby, I got my spoon inside your jarOh baby, baby, don't give me too much, don't make me starve

Oh baby, baby, sugar sister on a silver plateOh baby, baby, I need a mouthful and I just can't waitOh baby, baby, see the shaking in my handOh baby, baby, don't mean to fumble but it tastes so grandTastes so grand, tastes so grand, baby it's alright

Oh baby it's alright, oh it's alrightIt's alright... [repeat]

"Hots On For Nowhere"

I was burned in the heat of the moment,Though it couldn't have been the heat of the dayWhen I learned how my time had been wasted,(And a) tear fell as I turned away

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder,Event I should happen to fallTime and his bride growing olderI've got friends who will give me fuck all



(On the) corner of Bleeker and nowhereIn the land of not quite dayA shiver runs down my backboneFace in the mirror turns grey

So (I) looked round to hitch up the reindeerSearching hard trying to brighten the dayI turned around to look for the snowmanTo my surprise he'd melted away.

As the moon and the stars call the orderInside my tides dance the ebb and swayThe sun in my soul's sinking lowerWhile the hope in my hands turns to clayI don't ask that my field's full of cloverI don't moan at opportunity's doorAnd if you ask my advice, take it slowerThen your story'd be your finest reward.

Lost on the path to attainmentSearch in the eyes of the wiseWhen I bled from the heart of the matterI started bleeding without a disguise

Now everything's fine under heavenNow and then you've got to take time to pauseWhen you're down on the ground, don't be messin' aroundOr you'll land in a boat without oarsHey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe,I lost my way.

Hey babe, Hey babe,

I don't know where I'm gonna find it.

Hey babe, Hey babe,Do you wanna know,Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you now, babeLet me tell youThat it feels so good that it must be right

Now my babe,Let me tell youThat it feels so good that it must be right...

"Tea For One"

How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?Oh twenty-four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into daysA minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this waySittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slowI've been watchin for the hands to moveUntil I just can't look no moreHow come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?



A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say"Oh baby this one's for we two", Which in the end is you anyway

How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes slip into days?A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way.

There was a time that I stood tall, In the eyes of other menBut by my own choice I left you woman, And now I can't get back again

How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days?A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this wayA minute seems like a lifetimeWhen I feel this way...I feel this way

Album artwork:

The original gramophone record of this album featured an unusual gimmick: the album had anouter sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag, and the inner sleeve featuredblack and white line artwork which, if washed with a wet brush, would become permanently fullycolored. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos (one on eachside; see images at right), and the external brown paper sleeve meant that it was impossible forrecord buyers to tell which sleeve they were getting. (There is actually a code on the spine of thealbum jacket, which indicated which sleeve it was — this could sometimes be seen while therecord was still sealed.) The pictures all depicted the same scene in a bar (in which a man burnsa Dear John letter), and each photo was taken from the separate point of view of someone whoappeared in the other photos.

"In The Evening"

In the evening, When the day is doneI'm looking for a woman, but the girl don't comeSo don't let her, Play you for a foolShe don't show no pity baby, she don't make no rules

[Chorus:] Oh, oh, I need your love, I need your loveOh, I need your love, I just got to have



So don't you let her, Oh, get under your skinIt's only bad luck and trouble, From the day that you beginI hear you crying in the darkness, Don't ask nobody's helpAin't no pockets full of mercy baby, Cause you can only blame yourself

[Chorus]

Oh it's simple, All the pain that you go throughYou can turn away from fortune, fortune, Cause that's all that's left to youIt's lonely at the bottom, Man, it's dizzy at the topBut if you're standing in the middle, Ain't no way you're gonna stop

[Chorus]

Oh whatever that your days may bringNo use hiding in a corner, Cause that won't change a thingIf you're dancing in the doldrums, One day soon, it's got to stop, it's got to stopWhen you're the master of the off-chance, When you don't expect a lot

[Chorus]

"South Bound Saurez"

Baby, when you walk that sweet walkOh, you walk it good, yes you walk it goodBaby, when you talk that sweet talkOh, it sounds so good, oh so good

With a little bit of concentrationAnd a little bit of helpin' hands, yeahAnd a little bit of raving madnessYou know it makes me feel, babyBoth my feet are back on the ground

And when the rhythm takes meIt feels so good, oh so goodBaby if it keeps a-shakingIt will do you good, oh so much good

With a little bit of stop-a-shakin' shakin'And a little bit of ?fly right down?And a little bit of sweet con-carneIt makes me feel, makes me feelI got my feet on the ground

Ooh now baby, when you move it makes me

Really feel so good, oh so goodAnd I'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so gladAnd I'm good, oh, so goodWith a little bit of concentrationAnd a little bit of helping handAnd a little bit of ?saving madness?You know it makes me feel, babyI'm back on the ground oh yes, sure doesIt makes me feel back on the ground.



I'm feelin' good child!Down on the ground.Sha la la la...

"Fool In The Rain"

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shiningLike a star that can't wait for the nightI hate to think I've been blinded babyWhy can't I see you tonight?

And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'And the thrill of your touch gives me frightAnd I'm shaking so much, really yearningWhy don't you show up, make it all right?Yeah, it's all right.

And if you promised you'd love so completelyand you said you would always be trueYou swore that you would never leave me, baby:

What ever happened to you?

And you thought it was only in moviesAs you wish all your dreams would come trueIt ain't the first time believe me, babyI'm standin here feeling blueYeah I'm blue

Now I will stand in the rain on the cornerI'll watch the people go shuffling downtownAnother ten minutes no longerAnd then I'm turning around

The clock on the wall's moving slowerMy heart it sinks to the groundAnd the storm that I thought would blow overClouds the light of the love that I found

Now my body is starting to quiverAnd the palms of my hands getting wetI've got no reason to doubt you baby,It's all a terrible mess

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathlessWhen I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, heyThe thoughts of a fool's kind of careless

I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeahLight of the love that I found...

"Hot Dog"

Well I just got into town todayTo find my girl who's gone awayShe took the Greyhound at the General StoreI searched myself I searched the townWhen I finally did sit down



I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn't do no wrongNo other love could be so strongShe locked up my heart in her bottom drawerNow she took my heart she took my keysFrom in my old blue dungareesAnd I'll never go to Texas anymore

[Chorus:] Now my baby's gone I don't know what to doShe took my love and walked right out the doorAnd if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sureI'm gonna give her something like she never had before

I took her love at seventeenA little late these days it seemsBut they said heaven is well worth waiting forI took her word I took it allBeneath the sign that said "U-haul"She left angels hangin round for more

[Chorus]

I thought I had it all sewn upOur love, a plot, a pick-up truckBut folks said she was after something moreI never did quite understandAll that talk about rockin' bandsBut they just rolled my doll right out the doorOh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!

"Carouselambra"

Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,Await their place within the ring of calm;Still stand to turn in seconds of release,Await the call they know may never come.In times of lightness, no intruder dared uponTo jeopardize the course, upset the run;And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sunAs love in the halls of plenty overrun.

Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,Unending dances shadowed on the day.Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.

Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,But no one seemed to question in anyway.

How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the landTo seek the unsuspecting and the weak;And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a handToward the foe that threatened from the deep.Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand



Adrift upon a sea of futile speech?And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan'Where was your word, where did you go?Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.Dull is the armour, cold is the day.Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.I couldn't stand it another day, another day,Another day, another day.

Touched by the timely coming,Roused from the keeper's sleep,Release the grip, throw down the key.

Held now within the knowing,Rest now within the peace.Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.

They had to stay!

Held now within the knowing,Rest now within the beat.Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

"All My Love"

Should I fall out of love, my fire in the lightTo chase a feather in the windWithin the glow that weaves a cloak of delightThere moves a thread that has no end.

For many hours and days that pass ever soonthe tides have caused the flame to dim

At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loomIs this to end or just begin?[Chorus:] All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you. [repeat]

The cup is raised, the toast is made yet againOne voice is clear above the dinProud Aryan one word, my will to sustainFor me, the cloth once more to spin

[Chorus]

Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews timehis is the force that lies within

Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can findHe is a feather in the wind

[Chorus]

"I'm Gonna Crawl"

Oh she's my baby, Let me tell you whyHey, she drives me crazy, She's the apple of my eye'Cause she is my girl, And she can never do wrong



If I dream too much at night, Somebody please bring me down

Hey, I love that little lady, I got to be her foolAin't no other like my baby, I can break the golden rule'Cause I get down on my knees, Oh, I pray that love won't dieAnd if I always try to please, I don't know the reason why, yeah

If she would come back, Only stay with me

Every little bit of my love, etc., I give to you girl

I don't have to go by planeI ain't gotta go by carI don't care just where my darling isPeople I just don't care how farI'm gonna crawlI don't care if I got to go back homeI don't care what I got to stand to her backI'm gonna crawlI'm gonna move the car, baby

She give me good lovinYes I love her, I guess I love herI'm gonna crawl.

"Poor Tom"

Here's a tale of TomWho worked the railroads longHis wife would cook his mealAs he would change the wheel

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin onAin't a thing that you can hide from TomThere ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

Worked for thirty yearsSharing hopes and fearsDreamin' of the dayHe could turn and say

Poor Tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

His wife was Annie MaeWith any man a game she'd playWhen Tom was out of town

She couldn't keep her dress down

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on

Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom

And so it was one dayPeople got to Annie Mae (?)Tom stood, a gun in his handAnd stopped her runnin' around

Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done

All those years of work are thrown awayTo ease your mind is that all you can say?

But what about that grandson on your knee?Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me

Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom

Keep-a Truckin'



"I Can't Quit You Baby"

"Walter's Walk"

Ooh...know I feel so strange looking out the dooroooh...tryin hard to change but can't let gooooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and moreoooh...everyday is the same as the one before

I'm walkin the floor over youI'm walkin the floor

Every heart that breaks is a heart that's coldTo the hand that takes your dreamless soul

Ooh...Is it long to wait, is it much to pay?oooh...Sometimes it's hard waiting for the day.

you know it's hard. I said it's hardYou know it's true. I said it's hardyou know it's hard. You know it's true

Every tear that falls is a smile that's lostWhen you hear the call can you count the cost?As you stand alone do you wonder how?Can you step aside, does it matter now?

Every love that's changed ?-?-?In the eye of the night ?-?-?In the day everything ?-?-?

She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ??

you know it's true. You know it's true now

I'm walkin the floor over youI'm walkin' the floorEvery tear that falls is a smile that's lostWhen you hear the call can you count the cost?As you stand alone do you wonder how?Can you step aside, does it matter now?



Does it matter now? [repeat]

"Baby, Come On Home"[Bonus Track]

There was a time, I used to call you on my very ownWe were so happy woman, Talkin' for hours and hours on the telephone

Then one day, I set you up to walk right outta my life

Leavin' me all by myself, All alone, to cry every night

(Babe...) oooh, I want you to come back home yeah (come on home)(oooh yeah) Sweet little girl (ooh yeah, been gone so long)been away so long

Now listen to me: I said I made up my mindWoman when you left me there, ohI was gonna find another sweet loverWho's gonna feel all of my... cares

So I met a sweet little girl, Just about as nice as she could be, ohI fell in love with that woman, But she turned around,

and did the same thing again to me...

(Babe...) Baby, please come home (come on home) hoome yeah...I know, (ya been gone too long) been away so long(Babe...) I want you to please come home, oh (come on hooome...)

So I made up my mind, I gonna crawl right back to you womanI'm gonna plead and plead and plead, yeah, 'Till you're here by my sideI can't even walk down the same old streets we used to walk down'Cause I keep thinkin about all the good timesKeep thinkin' about it, I wanna make you mine

Babe, babe, babe, please (come on home, yeah) (come on home)

(You've been gone too long)

"Travelling Riverside Blues"[Bonus Track]

Asked sweet mama, Let me be her kidShe said, "You might get hurt if you don't keep it hid"

Well I know my baby, If I see her in the darkI said I know my rider, If I see her in the dark



Now, I goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by my sideStill barrelhouse, If it's on the riverside, yeahI know my baby, Lord, I said, "is really sloppy drunk"I know my mama, Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum

See my baby, tell her, Tell her hurry homeHad no lovin', since my baby been goneSee my baby, Tell hurry on homeI ain't had, Lord, my right mind, Since my rider's been gone

Hey, she promises, She's my riderI wanna tell you, She's my riderI know you're mine, She's my riderShe ain't but sixteen, But she's my rider

I'm goin' to Rosedale, Take my rider by sideAnybody argue with me man, I'll keep them satisfiedWell, see my baby, tell her, Tell her the shape I'm inAin't had no lovin', Lord, since you know when

Spoken: Why don't you come into my kitchen

She's a kindhearted lady. She studies evil all the timeShe's a kindhearted woman. She studies evil all the time

Squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my legSqueeze it so hard, I'll fall right out of bedSqueeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg

Spoken: I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about

Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl

I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed

She's a good riderShe's my kindhearted ladyI'm gonna take my rider by my sideI said her front teeth are lined with goldShe's gotta mortgage on my body, got a lien on my soulShe's my brownskin sugar plum...

"Hey Hey What Can I Do"[Bonus Track]

Wanna tell you about the girl I love

My she looks so fineShe's the only one that I been dreamin' ofMaybe someday she will be all mineI wanna tell her that I love her soI thrill with her every touchI need to tell her she's the only one I really love

I got a woman, wanna ball all dayI got a woman, she won't be true, noI got a woman, stay drunk all the time



I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

Sunday morning when we go down to churchSee the menfolk standin' in lineI said they come to pray to the LordWith my little girl, looks so fineIn the evening when the sun is sinkin' lowEverybody's with the one they loveI walk the town, Keep a-searchin' all aroundLookin' for my street corner girl

I got a woman, wanna ball all dayI got a woman, she won't be true, no noI got a woman, stay drunk all the timeI said I got a little woman and she won't be true

In the bars, with the men who play guitarsSingin', drinkin' and rememberin' the timesMy little lover does a midnight shiftShe followed around all the time

I guess there's just one thing a-left for me to doGonna pack my bags and move on my wayCause I got a worried mindSharin' what I thought was mineGonna leave her where the guitars play

I got a woman, she won't be true, no noI got a woman, wanna ball all dayI got a woman, stay drunk all the timeI got a little woman and she won't be true

(Hey hey what can I do)

I said she won't be true

(Hey Hey, What can I say?)

Hey hey, what can I doI got a woman, she won't be trueLord, hear what I sayI got a woman, wanna ball all day
