dpat Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Ran into this on the web: http://www.inthelight.co.nz/ledzep/lyrichelp.htm I'm quoting the webite: "Corrections to commonly quoted Led Zeppelin lyrics The following are corrections to lyrics you'll find elsewhere on the web for a number of Led Zeppelin songs. The Wanton Song It isn't "Silent Woman in the night you came", it is "Siren moving". This was confirmed by a guy who read it on a lyrics sheet for Plant during the 1995/96 tour. When the Levee Breaks It is "It's got what it takes to make a monkey-man leave his home", not "mountain man". " I can hear the first one, but dagnabbit, it sure sounds like Mountain Main in WTLB.

Sunray782 Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I've always heard "monkey-man" in WTLB. Mountain man didn't really work considering the history of the song. Though "siren moving" is new to me! Quote
eternal light Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Robert Plant struggles with lyrics sometimes; often he sings whatever sounds good at the moment. He improvises a lot, but it keeps the words fresh. Quote
