I love Lyrics!

[manicmonday]

Everyone here seems to be so in love with Led Zepplin but I honestly could not tell you a single song they sing.

 

 

Oh Phanny, it would be in your interest to download a few of their songs and expand your bounderies. They are a classic. I didn't think I would like them, and a member got me to listen to them one night and now I'm addicted.

Everyone here seems to be so in love with Led Zepplin but I honestly could not tell you a single song they sing.

Sure you could, I bet you would surprise yourself.. for instance...

 

BLACK DOG or perhaps KASHMIR might not sound familiar, even if you read the lyrics, but once you hear the music, you will know the song and kick yourself for not realizing it is Zepplin.

 

Actually, now that I look back, the first lyric I posted in this topic was a Zepplin tune.

 

So, I say whether you know it or not... you can't excape your ZEPPLIN fix.

 

There probably isn't a rock band out today that wasn't influenced by them.

[phreakwars]

And as always, I recommend using mIRC for downloading with AUTOGET installed. Download and listen to the 2 songs, I bet you recognise them.

Your kidding right?

 

 

Stairway to Heaven?

 

 

Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven

 

 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed

With a word she can get what she came for

 

 

Woe oh oh oh oh oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

 

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

And you know sometimes words have two meanings

In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

 

Woe oh oh oh oh oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

 

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

 

Woe oh oh oh oh oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

 

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forest will echo with laughter

 

And it makes me wonder

 

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 run

There's still time to change the road you're on

 

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know

The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

 

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our souls

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll

Woe oh oh oh oh oh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

 

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed

With a word she can get what she came for

 

 

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

 

 

And for the satin backward version.

Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

 

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He pulls the spitting high tension wires down.

Helpless people on subway trains

Scream for God as he looks in on them.

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town.

 

Oh no, they say he's got to go

[Phantom]

Your kidding right?

 

 

Stairway to Heaven?

 

 

Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven

 

Well, I certainly feel like a dumbass now. Yes, I know THAT song.

[RegisteredAndEducated]

Well, I certainly feel like a dumbass now. Yes, I know THAT song.

 

I really had my feelings hurt when I read that you didn't know any Zeppelin... I actually only liked a couple of their songs when i was a kid. I was taken to a concert... Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.... Zoso tour... Davie Jones, the original bassist... and the original drummer's son were performing with them... That was the day that I fell in love with Led Zeppelin... They rock! Go listen to the songs that Phreak recommended and tell me that you don't know them... Everybody knows Kashmir, even puffy diddle chocolate pop knows this song, it's the one he used for his "come with me." He even got Jimmy Page to play the guitar... And Black Dog is a staple...

The Guess Who Running Bear

 

 

 

On the banks of the river

Stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave

On the other side of the river

Stood his lovely Indian maid

Little White Dove was-a her name

Such a lovely sight to see

But their tribes fought with each other

So their love could never be

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

He couldn't swim the raging river

'Cause the river was too wide

He couldn't reach Little White Dove

Waiting on the other side

In the moonlight he could see her

Throwing kisses 'cross the waves

Her little heart was beating faster

Waiting there for her brave

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

Runnin' Bear dove in the water

Little White Dove did the same

And they swam out to each other

Through the swirling stream they came

As their hands touched and their lips met

The ragin' river pulled them down

Now they'll always be together

In that happy hunting ground

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love big as the sky

Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove

With a love that couldn't die

I'm going to have to, it seems, so I can see what all the fuss is about! It must be some pretty good stuff. Hope I don't ditch my Beatles!

 

After listening to Zeppelin, you will concur with a minority of people that the Beatles suck-ass. Comparitively speaking, Plant's vocals are far beyond the realm of Lennon's shitheel notions. Jimmy Page can wail on a guitar much better than Georgie-boy. John Paul Jones is the most mimicked bassist... making Paul McCartney a hack. And... Ringo... Ringo knowns three ways to play the drum: tap, tap, followed by a high-hat crash. John Henry Bonham has got his number.

Well I love her

But I love to fish

I spend all day out on this lake

And hell is all I catch

Today she met me at the door

Said I would have to choose

If I hit that fishin' hole today

She'd be packin' all her things

And she'd be gone by noon

 

Well I'm gonna miss her

When I get home

But right now I'm on this lakeshore

And I'm sittin' in the sun

I'm sure it'll hit me

When I walk through that door tonight

That I'm gonna miss her

Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

 

Now there's a chance that if I hurry

I could beg her to stay

But that water's right

And the weather's perfect

No tellin' what I might catch today

 

Well I'm gonna miss her

When I get home

But right now I'm on this lakeshore

And I'm sittin' in the sun

I'm sure it'll hit me

When I walk through that door tonight

That I'm gonna miss her

Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

 

Yeah, I'm gonna miss her

Oh, lookie there, I've got a bite

What the fuck are you talking about? Plant sounded the same in every fucking song. The Beatles were good song writers. They were well before their time. They deserve their immortality.

Jimmy Page could wale not doubt.

Dedicated to.. well you know who

 

Louis Armstrong Mack the Knife

 

 

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear

And he shows em, pearly white

Just a jack knife has macheath dear

And he keeps it way out of sight

 

When that shark bites with his teeth, dear

Scarlet billows begin to spread

Fancy gloves though has macheath dear

So theres never, never a trace of red

 

On the sidewalk, one sunday morning

Lies a body, oozin life

Someones sneaking round the corner

Could that someone be mack the knife

 

From a tugboat, on the river going slow

A cement bag is dropping on down

You know that cement is for the weight dear

You can make a large bet mackies back in town

 

My man louis miller, he split the scene babe

After drawing out all the bread from his stash

Now macheath spends like a sailor

Do you suppose our boy, hes done something rash

 

Old satchmo, louis armstrong, bobby darrin

Did this song nice, lady ella too

They all sang it, with so much feeling

That old blue eyes, he aint gonna add nothing new

 

But with this big band, jumping behind me

Swinging hard, jack, I now I cant lose

When I tell you, all about mack the knife babe

Its an offer, you can never refuse

 

We got patrick williams, bill miller playing that piano

And this great big band, bringing up the rear

All the band cats, in this band now

They make the greatest sounds, youre ever gonna hear

 

Oh sookie taudry, jenny diver, polly peachum, old miss lulu brown

 

Hey the line forms, on the right dear

Now that macheaths back in town

Youd better lock your doors, and call the law

Because macheaths back in town

Hey! I didn't come in here calling Zeppelin a bunch of fag punks!

 

As for the Beatles, their earlier stuff like I Want to Hold Your Hand is pretty fucking gay but their music from the late 60's kicks ass.

 

Come Together, Strawberry Fields, Across the Universe, Elanor Rigsby, USSR, In My Life, etc. were awesome.

 

But Yellow Submarine is the gayset thing I have ever heard and John's voice did make me want to stick a knife in my eardrum on occasion.

Sounds like you're lethally fucking middled. Choose your side? Brit to Brit!

The Beatles were the best band to hit the charts. They were a head of the curve and most of the time, created the curve on every song.

I think Why don't we do it in the Road and Number Nine were the only two songs I didn't care for. I can't think of any other Beatle song I didn't like.

The Beatles Let it Be

 

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

 

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

 

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,

there will be an answer, let it be.

For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,

there will be an answer. let it be.

 

Let it be, let it be, .....

 

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,

shine until tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,

speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

 

Let it be, let it be, .....

You Could Be Mine

 

I'm a cold heartbreaker

Fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two

An I'll leave you lyin' on the bed with your ass in the air

I'll be out the door before ya wake

It's nuthin' new ta you

'Cause I think we've seen that movie too

 

 

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin'

And your cocaine tongue

You get nuthin' done

I said you could be mine

 

 

Now holidays come and then they go

It's nothin' new today

Collect another memory

When I come home late at night

Don't ask me where I've been

Just count your stars I'm home again

 

 

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin'

And your cocaine tongue

You get nuthin' done

I said you could be mine

 

 

You've gone sketchin' too many times

Why don't ya give it a rest

Why

Must you find

Another reason to cry

 

 

While you're breakin' down my back

I been rackin' out my brain

It don't matter how we make it

'Cause it always ends the same

You can push it for more mileage

But your flaps r' wearin' thin

And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'

But this nightmare never ends

Don't forget to call my lawyers

With ridiculous demands

And you can take the pity so far

But it's more than I can stand

'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older

Tell me how long has it been

'Cause 5 years is forever

An you haven't grown up yet

 

 

You could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin'

And your cocaine tongue

You get nuthin' done

I said you could be mine

You should be

You could be mine

 

 

Yeah!

And i go to work at nine

I got no time for livin'

Yes, i'm workin' all the time

A lot better than i think i am

I guess that's why they call me

They call me the workin' man

 

They call me the workin' man

I guess that's what i am

Always seem to be wond'rin'

Why there's nothin' goin' down here

The Beatles Across the Universe

 

 

 

Words are flying out like

endless rain into a paper cup

They slither while they pass

They slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow waves of joy

are drifting thorough my open mind

Possessing and caressing me

 

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

 

Images of broken light which

dance before me like a million eyes

That call me on and on across the universe

Thoughts meander like a

restless wind inside a letter box

they tumble blindly as

they make their way across the universe

 

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

 

Sounds of laughter shades of life

are ringing through my open ears

exciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which

shines around me like a million suns

It calls me on and on across the universe

 

Jai guru deva om

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

Nothing's gonna change my world

We are the youth

Well take your fascism away

We are the youth

Apologise for another day

We are the youth

And politicians are so sure

We are the youth

And we are knocking on deaths door

 

Never knew we were living in a world

With a mind that could be so sure

Never knew we were living in a world

With a mind that could be so small

Never knew we were living in a world

And the world is an open court

Maybe we dont want to live in a world

Where innocence is so short

Well make it up to you

In the year 2000 with...

I don't have the patience(frankly) to go through the whole list here right now, and see what has already been played, but the following is one of my all time favorites...

 

 

 

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction holding me fast, how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

 

Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

 

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

 

A soul in tension thats learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

 

Friction lock - set.

Mixture - rich

Propellers - fully forward

Flaps - set - 10 degrees

Engine gauges and suction - check

 

Mixture set to maximum percent - recheck

Flight instruments...

Altimeters - check both

(garbled word) - on

Navigation lights - on

Strobes - on

(to tower): confirm 3-8-echo ready for departure

(tower): hello again, this is now 129.4

(to tower): 129.4. its to go.

(tower): you may commence your takeoff, winds over 10 knots.

(to tower): 3-8-echo

Easy on the brakes. take it easy. its gonna roll this time.

Just hand the power gradually, and it...

 

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

 

Theres no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Cant keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i
