o those who claim, they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss
The devil's in his hole

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

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 high above the crowd

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

If one bell should ring
Celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet

Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summers glow
As far away and distant
A mutual time to grow

Oh, the sweet refrain
Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh, Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again

Wandering upon the rings
What place to rest the search?
The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth

From the earth

I know the way, know the way
Know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way
Know the way, know the way

The mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth



For your life

(Page/Plant)

You said I was the only
With my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit
Emotions second hand

Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
And she said: "Don't you want it?
Don't you want coca, coca, cocaine?"

Hadn't planned to
Could not stand to try it, friend

Heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned, oh, oh, babe, damned
Impossible to go lower
The next stop's underground, oh, hello, underground!

You want to know - is it quite over?
To fame and tears and losing hair
And I said: "Didn't mean to, did not mean to fail"
You didn't plan it, you overran it

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

When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might

When you fake it, mama
Please, fake it right, for yourself, babe
Will you fake it?
You're faking it for your life

For your life
For your life
For your life

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna

Oh, I can have you, baby
But I don't know what to do
Sometimes, baby
Nothing I could do

Wanna find myself a crystal
Paying through the nose
And when they couldn't resist you
I said: "Just go with the flow"

And now your stage is empty
And now the curtain, baby, please, fold up your show
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to fry in it
Hadn't planned it, I overran it

For your life
For your life



Royal Orleans

(Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham)

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 it's hard to feel it bite

Feel it bite

A man I know went down to Louisiana
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through, John Cameron with Suzanna
He kissed the whiskers left and right

Whiskers

Now, now, now fright subsides out at a hotel in the quarter
A friendship took a bash tonight
Now love gets hot look far for a sea with water
Grew whiskers sitting there through the night

Whiskers

Down on Bourbon street, you know, it's right
You can see, my friend, they run around us through the night
Most everywhere until the closet's bare
Run for the razor, doing up my hair

New Orleans queens sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out, strut down with my sugar
She wears my cloak like fairy white

Now one town love, take care how you use it
And try to make it last all night
Take your pick, be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite



Nobody's fault but mine

(Page/Plant)

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
Trying to save my soul tonight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Devil, he told me to roll
The devil, he told me to roll, roll, roll, roll
How to roll the line tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Brother is holding the gong
Brother is holding the ding dong, ding dong
How to kick that gong delight
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

That monkey on my back
The monkey on my back, back, back, back
Gonna change my way of delight
Nobody's fault but mine

How to kick that gong delight
Nobody's fault but mine



Candy store rock

(Page/Plant)

Well, oh, baby, baby
Don't you want a man like me?
Oh, baby, baby
I'm just as sweet as anybody could be

Oh, baby, baby
I want to look to your eyes of blue
Oh, baby, baby
It's more than anybody else could do

Well, oh baby, baby
You know, when I see you walking down the street
Oh, baby, baby
Well, you're looking good enough to eat

Oh, baby, baby
I dont believe I've tasted this before
Oh, baby, baby
I want it now and every mouthfull more of you

Yeah, talk about you, yeah

Oh, baby, baby
You know that I wanted it more
Oh, baby, baby
I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store

Oh, baby, baby

Oh, baby, baby
I got a sweet tooth when my mouth is full of you

Talk about you, yeah
Yeah, talk about you, yeah
Yeah, talk about you, yeah
Yeah, talk about you, yeah

Ooh, baby, ooh, baby

Oh, baby, baby
I got the spoon inside your jar
Oh, baby, baby
Don't give me too much, don't make me starve

Oh, baby, baby
Sugar sitting on a silver plate
Oh, baby, baby
I'll eat'em up, I just can't wait, you know

Oh, baby, baby
See me shaking my head
Oh, baby, baby
Don't mean to fumble but it tastes so grand

Tastes so grand
Tastes so grand
Tastes so grand
Tastes so grand

Baby, it's alright
Oh, it's alright
Oh baby, it's alright
Oh, it's alright



Hots on for nowhere

(Page/Plant)

I was burned in the heat of the moment
It could've have been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted
Dear fellows, I turned away

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fuck all

On the corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey

So I looked 'round to hitch from a reindeer
Said you oughta find him out in the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away

The moon and the stars out of order
As the tide turns to ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay

I don't ask that my feet fall on clover
I don't roam at opportunity's door
Why don't you ask my advice? Take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise

Now everything's finally happened
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground don't be messing around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars

Hey, babe! Hey, babe!
Hey, babe! I lost my way
Hey, babe! Hey, babe!

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?

Let me tell you now, babe
Let me tell you that it feels so good that it must be right
Now my babe, let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right



Tea for one

(Page/Plant)

How come twenty four hours?
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days
Oh, twenty four hours
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days

One minute seems like a lifetime
Oh baby, when I feel this way

Sitting, looking at the clock
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 seem 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 seem to 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 men
But by my own choice I left you, woman
And now I can't get back again

How come twenty four hours?
Sometimes seem to slip into days
Well, well, well, a minute seems like a lifetime
Baby, when I feel this way

A minute seems like a lifetime
Oh baby, when I feel this way
I feel this way
