John M Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 So many too choose from. Cannot pick just one "best". Here are a few. Her name is Brown or White or Black, you know her very well. You hear her cries of mercy as the winners toll the bell. She hears them talk of new ways to protect the home she lives in, then she wonders what its all about when they break down the door. There is a train that leaves the station headed for your destination, but the price you pay to nowhere has increased a dollar more. And if you walk you're gonna get there, although it takes a little longer, and when you see it in the distance you will wring your hands and moan. On the corner of Bleeker and Nowhere in the land of not quite day, a shiver ran down my backbone, face in the mirror turns grey As the moon and the stars call the orderInside my tides dance the ebb and swayThe sun in my soul's sinking lowerWhile the hope in my hands turns to clayI don't ask that my field's full of cloverI don't moan at opportunity's doorAnd if you ask my advice, take it slowerLet your story be your finest reward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 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 Clutching pages from your teenage dream, in the lobby of the Hotel Paradise, Through the circus of the LA queens, how fast you learn the downhill slide You said you dug me since you were thirteen, but you giggle as you heave and sigh Exhibition is your habit, emotion second hand If you fake it, mamaBaby, fake with all your might When you fake it, mama Please fake it right (for yourself babe) When you fake it babyYou're fakin' it for your life, for your life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 And her voice is sore from shouting Cheering winners who are losing And she wonders if their days are few and soon they'll have to go Celebration Day is one of Plant's best lyrics ever. I remember back in the 70s the critics would focus only on the chorus in pointing out how "insipid" Plant's lyrics were. The chorus is brilliant satire in the context of the rest of the lyrics. Critics never bothered to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Another tribe, another brotherTorn between his lover and the gunAnother god, another motherWeeps to justify the damage done I wonder through the lies and dirtI wonder, will the meek inherit all the earth?As truth collides with propagandaJust another victim on the run The world outside, all fluff and candorSeeks to justify the damage doneNo wonder, so much pain and hurtI wonder, will the meek inherit all the earth? I think there may be, a war in heavenParadise beneath the smoking gunAs every saint and small town saviorRace to justify their chosen one I wonder, as our world collidesI want to reach out thereAcross the great divide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm2551 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's deep and beautiful, open to all kinds of interpretation. I've always marvelled at this after first looking it up. Sisters of the way-side bide their 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 And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sun As love in the halls of plenty overrun Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast Unending dances shadowed on the day Within their walls, their daunting formless keep Preserved their joy and 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 anyway Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh 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 from the deep Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened stand Adrift upon a sea of futile speech? And to fall to fate and make the 'status plan' But no one there had heaven within their reach Singing uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh Oh Where was your word, where did you go? Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow Bow Dull is the armour, cold is the day Hard was the journey, dark was the way, way I heard the word, I couldn't stay, oh I couldn't stand it another day, another day Another day, another day Touched by the timely coming Roused from the keeper's sleep Release the grip, throw down the key Held now within the knowing Rest now within the peace Take of the fruit, but guard the seed They had to stay Held now within the knowing Rest now within the peace Take off the fruit, but guard the seed Take off the fruit, but guard the seed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
