Led Zeppelin

"All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground. And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land. Tryin' to find....Tryin' to find where I've been."

"Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace Like thoughts inside a dream. Heed the path that led me to that place, Yellow desert stream. My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon Will return again. Sure as the dust that floats b'hind you When movin' through Kashmir."

"Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear."

"Then as it was, then again it will be An' though the course may change sometimes Rivers always reach the sea Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go."

"With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had. Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again."

"Oh, to sail away, to sandy lands and other days. Oh, to touch the dream, hides inside and never seen."

"It was an April morning when they told us we should go As I turn to you, you smiled at me. How could we say no?"

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

"Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown. The shackles of commitment fell, in pieces on the ground. Oh to ride the wind, to tread the air above the din. Oh to laugh aloud, dancing as we fought the crowd."

"We didn’t over-rehearse things. We just had them so that they were just right, so that there was this tension – maybe there might be a mistake. But there won’t be, because this is how we’re all going to do it and it’s gonna work!"

"You said I was the only, oh, oh With my lemon in your hand. Exhibition is your habit, Emotions second hand, oh, oh. Had to pull away to save me; Maybe next time around. And she said, don't you wannit? Don't you want coca coca cocaine? Hadn't planned to, could not stand to Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah."

"One town love, you better take care how you use it. Try to make it last all night, and if you take your pick, Be careful how you choose it. Sometimes its hard to feel it bite. Feel it bite."

"Devil he told me to roll, Devil he told me to roll roll roll roll. How to roll the log tonight, Nobody's fault but mine."

"How come twenty four hours Baby sometimes seem to slip into days? Oh twenty-four hours Baby sometimes seem to slip into days. When a minute seems like a lifetime, Ooh baby when I feel this way. Sittin, lookin at the clock. Oh time moves so slow. I've been watchin' for the hands to move Until I just can't look no more. How come twenty four hours Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?"

"In the evening, When the day is done I'm looking for a woman; Oh, but the girl don't come. So don't let her Play you for a fool. She don't show no pity baby, No no, she don't make no rules."

"Oh it's simple, all the pain that you go through, You can turn away from fortune, fortune, 'cause that's all that's left to you. It's lonely at the bottom, man, it's dizzy at the top, But if you're standing in the middle, ain't no way you're gonna stop."

"Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining Like a star that can't wait for the night I hate to think I've been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight?"

"Now I will stand in the rain on the corner I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown. Another ten minutes, no longer And then I'm turning around. The clock on the wall's moving slower; My heart it sinks to the ground. And the storm that I thought would blow over Clouds the light of the love that I found."

"Now my body is starting to quiver And the palms of my hands getting wet. I've got no reason to doubt you baby, It's all a terrible mess. I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless. When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey. The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless; I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah. Light of the love that I found..."

"For many hours and days that pass ever soon The tides have caused the flame to dim. At last the arm is straight, the hand to the loom. Is this to end or just begin? All of my love, all of my love, All of my love to you."

"The song titles are complex, but when it comes to the album titles, they lay them out like IKEA instructions: Zeppelin I, Zeppelin II, Zeppelin III, Zeppelin IV. The fifth album, Houses of the Holy, is where they regain their insanity. Just to fuck with you, it does not contain one of their few hits that has the title in the lyrics, "Houses of the Holy". That's on Physical Graffiti."

"While Black Sabbath and Deep Purple also influenced a hard, guitar-driven sound that opened the door for the heavy metal movement, Zeppelin did it better than anybody."

"Led Zeppelin IV is not just the greatest guitar album of the 70s, but the benchmark for every guitar band ever since."

"The numbers are eye-popping. [...] Statistics are one thing, but the story must also be told with due reverence to all they accomplished musically, including pioneering the album-oriented rock rock concept and, more dramatically, forging a style that would dominate throughout the seventies."

"If one bell should ring, In celebration for a king, So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet. Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summer's glow. As far away and distant Our mutual child did grow. Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain. Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again. Wandering & wandering, what place to rest the search? The mighty arms of Atlas, hold the heavens from the earth."
