The Rover

(Page/Plant)

I've been to London, seen seven wonders. I know to trip is just to fall I 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 down And 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 all Still by the firelight and purple moonlight. I hear the rested rivers call And 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 go You keep me rockin', baby, then you keep me stolen Won'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 know I'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.

In My Time Of Dying

(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn All I want for you to do is take my body home

Well, well, well, so I can die easy (X2)

Jesus, gonna make up my dyin' bed. Meet me, Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air 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 in I never did no harm. I never did no wrong

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

I've only been this young once. I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong No, 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 streets And I see them in the field And I hear them shouting under my feet And I know it's got to be real Oh, Lord, deliver me All the wrong I've done You can deliver me, Lord I 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

(Page/Plant)

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

From the houses of the holy, we can watch the white doves go From 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 gold Let 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 stoned Let the music be your master. Will you heed the master's call Oh... Satan and man.

Said there ain't no use in crying. Cause it will only, only drive you mad Does 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 grow You know.

Trampled Under Foot

(Jones/Page/Plant)

Grease me straight down now, good electric I could lay it on the road, mama, it ain't no trick

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

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

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Take that heavy metal underneath your hood Baby, I could work all night, leave a big pile of tubes

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Automobile club covered, really built in style Special is tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Factory air-conditioned, wind begins to rise Guaranteed to run for hours, mama, and brand-new tires

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Groovin' on the freeway, blazes on the road From now on my gasoline is even gonna ..... ?

Talkin' 'bout love (X3) I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred miles Baby, let me check your valves, fix your overdrive

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Fully automatic, comes in any size Makes me wonder what I did, before I got synchronized

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

Feather-light suspension, coils just couldn't hold I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors

Talkin' 'bout love (X3)

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

Kashmir

(Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant)

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen They 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 ear But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear Oh, 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 ground And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land Trying to find, trying 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, I will return again Sure as the dust that floats high and true, 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 Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah When 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 down Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

In The Light

(Jones/Page/Plant)

And if you feel that you can't go on. And your will's sinkin' low Just 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 cold I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul. I just wanna show what I'd give you 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, honey As 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 on In the light you will find the road

Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone I would share your load. I would share your load Baby, let me, oh, let me

In the light Everybody needs the light. In the light, in the light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the light Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah Light, light, light, in the light

Down By The Seaside (Page/Plant)

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 away So 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 twist Do you find you remember things that well I wanna tell you... Some go twistin' every day though 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 away Yes, the people turned away

Sing loud for the sunshine, pray hard for the rain And show your love for Lady Nature. And she will come back again The people turned away The people turned away

Ten Years Gone

(Page/Plant)

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

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

Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad Did 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 keen Taste your love along the way, See your feathers preen Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, Didn't have to grow We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be Oh darlin', oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave Holdin' on, ten years gone Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

Night Flight

(Jones/Page/Plant)

I received a message from my brother across the water He sat laughin' as he wrote the end's in sight So I said goodbye to all my friends And packed my hopes inside a matchbox 'Cause I know it's time to fly

Come on, meet me in the morning, Meet me in the middle of the night The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

I just jumped a train that never stops, So know somehow they'll know I never finished payin' for my ride Just n' someone pushed a gun into my hand Tell me I'm the type of man to fight the fight that I'll require

Come on, meet me in the morning, Meet me in the middle of the night The morning light is comin', don't it make you wanna go and feel alright

Oh, mama, well I think it's time I'm leavin' Nothin' here to make me stay Whoa, mama, well it must be time I'm goin' They're knockin' down them doors They're tryin' to take me away

Please Mr. Brakeman, won't you ring your bellAnd ring loud and clear Please Mr. Fireman, won't you ring your bell Tell the people they got to fly away from here

I once saw a picture of a lady with a baby Suddenly they have a very, very special smile We are in the middle of a change in destination When the train stops, all together we will smile Oh, meet me in the morning. Won't you meet me in the middle of the night, night, night Everybody know the mornin' time is comin' Don't it make you wanna feel alright. Ah, ah, yeah Make me feel alright. Fly now, baby Get to fly, yeah. Fly now, baby

The Wanton Song

(Page/Plant)

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 sun Seems my nightmares, have just begun Left me barely holding on.

With blazing eyes you see my trembling hand. When we know the time has come Lose my senses, lose command Feel your healing rivers run

Is it every time I fall, That I think this is the one In the darkness can you hear me call Another day has just begun.

Silent woman, my face is changed Some know in ways to come. Feel my fire needs a brand new flame And the wheels rolls on.... rolls on.

Boogie With Stu (Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant/Mrs. Valens/Stewart)

Been in town, my baby, We just got to rock on Yeah, darling, we just got to go home I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop Come on, baby, just rock, rock, rock.

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, honey We've been shakin' all night Oh, darlin', we just got to roll right Ooh, my head... rock on.

Hey babe, hey babe (repeat)

I don't want no tutti-frutti, no lollipop Come on baby, just rock, rock, rock.

Black Country Woman

(Page/Plant)

Sick Again

(Page/Plant)

From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.

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

Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side

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

Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes Said you dug me since you were thirteen,Then you giggle as you heave and sigh.

Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You 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 times I've thought of comin' on a plane that's leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes

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

Ooh, that's right.
