What Is and What Should Never Be
Page, Plant

And if I say to you tomorrow,
Take my hand, child, come with me.
It's to a castle I will take you,
Where what's to be, they say will be.

Catch the wind, see us spin, sail away,
Leave today, way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show
That you will be mine, by takin' our time.

And if you say to me tomorrow,
Oh what fun it all would be.
Then what's to stop us, pretty baby
But what is and what should never be.

Catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show

That you will be mine, by takin' our time.

So if you wake up with the sunrise
And all your dreams are still as new,
And happiness is what you need so bad
Girl, the answer lies with you.

Catch the wind, see us spin
Sail away, leave today, way up high in the sky.
But the wind won't blow
You really shouldn't go
It only goes to show

That you will be mine, by takin' our time.

Oh the wind wont blow and we really
Shouldn't go and it only goes to show.
Catch the wind, we're gonna see it spin
We're gonna...sail, little girl
Do do do, bop bop a do-oh, my my my my my my yeah.
Everybody I know seems to know me well
but they're never gonna know that I move like hell.

The Lemon Song
Bonham, Burnett, Jones, Page, Plant

I should have quit you, long time ago
I should have quit you, long time ago
I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor. 

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Everytime I go away and leave you, darling
You send me the blues way down the line. 

Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied. 
Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit
No good jive. 

Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can, 
Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man. 
I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago. 
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor. 

Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg
The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed. 

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.

Thank You
Page, Plant

If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you. 
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me. 

Kind woman, I give you my all
Kind woman, nothing more. 

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain
Tears of loves lost in the days gone by. 
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong, 
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my. 
An inspiration is what you are to me
Inspiration, look... see. 

And so today, my world it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles, 
Thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the only one. 
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness... I'm glad. 
If the sun refused to shine
I would still be loving you. 
When mountains crumble to the sea
There will still be you and me.

Heartbreaker
Bonham, Jones, Page, Plant

Hey fellas, have you heard the news?
You know that Annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see
how the fellas lay their money down.
Her style is new but the face
is the same as it was so long ago,
But from her eyes, a diff'rent smile
like that of one who knows.

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.

People talkin' all around 
'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say
I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind
If you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name
when I try to make love to you.
I try to make love but it ain't no use.

Work so hard I couldn't unwind
get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times
however hard I tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come
can't take your evil way;
Go away, Heartbreaker.

Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)
Page, Plant

With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
Missus cool rides out in her aged Cadillac.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Come on, babe on the round about, ride on the merry-go-round,
We all know what your name is, so you better lay your money down.

Alimony, alimony payin' your bills,
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Come on, babe on the round about, ride on the merry-go-round,
We all know what your name is, so you better lay your money down.

Tellin' tall tales of how it used to be.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
With the butler and the maid and the servants three.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Nobody hears a single word you say.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.
But you keep on talkin' till your dyin' day.
Livin', lovin', she's just a woman.

Come on, babe on the round about, ride on the merry-go-round,
We all know what your name is, so you better lay your money down.

Livin', Lovin', She's just a woman.

Ramble On
Page, Plant

Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way. 
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay. 
But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way. 
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way. 
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do... 

Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song. 
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way. 
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On, 
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams. 

Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone. 
And tho' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On. 

Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song. 
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way. 
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On, 
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams. 

Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear. 
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air. 
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair. 
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah. 

Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song. 
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way. 
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On, 
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams. 

Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby... 
Gonna work my way, round the world. I can't stop this feelin' in my heart 
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby. I can't find my bluebird!

Bring It On Home
Page, Plant, Dixon


Baby, baby... I'm gonna bring it on home to you. 
I've got my ticket, I've got that load. Got up, gone higher, all aboard. 
Take my seat, right way back. ooh yeah. Watch this train roll down the track. 
I'm gonna bring it on home, Bring it on home to you. 
Watch out, watch out... 

Try to tell you baby, what you tryin' to do? 
Tryin' to love me baby, love some other man too. 
Bring it on home... 

Went a little walk downtown, messed and got back late. 
Found a note there waiting, it said, "Daddy, I just can't wait." 
Bring it on home... Bring it back home to me baby... 

Tell you, pretty baby, you love to mess me `round. 
I'm gonna give you lovin', baby, gonna move you out o' town. 
Bring it on home... 

Sweetest little baby, daddy ever saw. 
I'm gonna give you lovin' baby, I'm gonna give you more. 
Bring it on home... 

Bring it on home, Bring it on home to you...
