Georgia Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 tell me what is your favourite lyric, out of the the songs Led Zeppelin wrote, I was looking at the words of some of the songs last evening, and was chatting with friends, all sorts came up,so we had a debate to find out which ones or solo one, they liked best, mine was: From Stairway to Heaven. With a word she can get what she came for. I also like Speak to me only with your eyes, but I said only one. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dawg Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarmy Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) There are so many great lines but I think the one that stands out the most is Going to California Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. I used to think it was Going to California Standing on my heels at my mountain of dreams, Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. I thought this was cool because if you are on your heels then you're obviously looking up...at the mountain...*sigh* Edited December 15, 2007 by guitarmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munoz Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 ALS has great lyrics overall but my favorite lines are "To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone" and "Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAWK3D Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 From TYG Did you ever need somebody and really need 'em bad, did you ever really want somebody, the best stuff you ever had. Did you ever remember me baby, did it feel so good, 'cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would. From Tangerine Iwas her love, She was my queen, and now a thousand years between. Also from Tangerine And I do. After Plant sings "And I do" Pages solo comes in and it is so hauntingly chilling, I get goose bumps even when I hear it in my mind.

TravellingRiversideWoman Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 my favourite line from led zeppeling wou have to be "And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul" from stairway to heaven "I saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar" always makes me smile "Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear " *shiver* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 my favourite line from led zeppeling wou have to be "And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul" from stairway to heaven I wonder what Robert meant when he said in the Tangerin song who is his queen?

Chris. Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone It's "Guide us from the curving path that turns our feet to stone." (Hey, no problem. I'm here to help. Or something.) To me, Plant's most amazing lyrics are heard in one of the band's most underrated songs (along with one of Bonzo's most powerful rhythmic parts), "Carouselambra." It's clear that the words are about Zeppelin's tours and the things they got away with, at least at first; but I wonder who they're meant for, especially considering the questions later in the song. Plant has mentioned that they were written with someone in mind, but wouldn't say who. Sisters of the way-side biding 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 upon to jeopardize the course, upset the run All was joy and hands were raised towards the sun as love in the halls of plenty overrun Still in their bliss unchallenged Mighty feasts, unending dances shadowed on the day Within the wall, their daunting, formless keep preserved the joy that 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 any way How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the land to seek the unsuspecting and the weak and powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a hand toward the foe that threatened them from the deep Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand adrift upon a sea of futile speech and throw the bane and make a stage as planned There's no fair memory we cannot reach Where was your word, where did you go Where was your helping, where was your bow Dulled is the armor, cold is the day Hard was the journey, dark was the way I heard the word, I couldn't stay I couldn't stand it another day Touched by the timely calling Roused from the keeper's sleep Release the grip, throw down the key Held now within the knowing Rest now within the beat Take of the fruit but guard the seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Squeezer Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 When I was younger I loved this line from Houses of the Holy: Are you dizzy when you're stoned Let the music be your master Will you heed the master's call Being a "Lord of the Rings" fan, from The Battle of Evermore: 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. and from Ramble On: T'was in the darkest depth of Mordor I met a girl so fair, But gollum, the evil one crept up And slipped away with her.

Chris. Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) It's actually "Are you dizzy when you stall." (Hence the rhyme with "Will you heed the master's call.") Damn, I'm going to accidentally come off as the grumpy guy who corrects lyrics. Edited December 20, 2007 by Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob M Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Well, it's hard to pick one, but I've always loved "I saw a lion he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar." Difficult for me to comprehend what kind of medication Robert Plant was on to come up with that one. Another favorite: "Soul of a woman was created below." Won't make my wife happy, but sometimes you gots to call a spade a spade. Edited December 20, 2007 by Bob M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achilleslaststand77 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 this is agony trying to choose. I can't narrow it down to one... Heartbreaker: 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." 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. 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. ^^ mind you to save time I copied that in from a lyric site so if something's wrong it's only my fault for having missed it!! :lol: I also love every lyric from Stairway to Heaven, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Achilles Last Stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
