Poor Tom (Page/Plant)

 

Here's a tale of Tom Who worked the railroads long His wife would cook his meal As he would change the wheel Poor Tom, Seventh Son, Always knew what's goin on Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom There ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Worked for thirty years Sharing hopes and fears Dreamin' of the day He could turn and say Poor Tom, work's done, been lazin' out in the noonday sun Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom His wife was Annie Mae With any man a game she'd play When Tom was out of town She couldn't keep her dress down Poor Tom, Seventh Son, always knew what's goin on Ain't a thing that you can hide from Tom And so it was one day People got to Annie Mae (?) Tom stood, a gun in his hand And stopped her runnin' around Poor Tom, Seventh Son, gotta die for what you've done All those years of work are thrown away To ease your mind is that all you can say? But what about that grandson on your knee? Them railroad songs, Tom would sing to me Ain't nothing that you can hide from Tom Keep-a Truckin'

Walter's Walk (Page/Plant)

 

Ooh...know I feel so strange looking out the door oooh...tryin hard to change but can't let go oooh...cryin' tears of pain and more and more oooh...everyday is the same as the one before I'm walkin the floor over you I'm walkin the floor Every heart that breaks is a heart that's cold To the hand that takes your dreamless soul Ooh...Is it long to wait, is it much to pay? oooh...Sometimes it's hard waiting for the day. you know it's hard. I said it's hard You know it's true. I said it's hard you know it's hard. You know it's true Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost When you hear the call can you count the cost? As you stand alone do you wonder how? Can you step aside, does it matter now? Every love that's changed ?-?-?-?-?-? In the eye of the night ?-?-?- In the day everything ?-?-?-? She was smilin' a tear at her waters fall ?? you know it's true. You know it's true now I'm walkin the floor over you I'm walkin' the floor Every tear that falls is a smile that's lost When you hear the call can you count the cost? As you stand alone do you wonder how? Can you step aside, does it matter now? Does it matter now? (repeat)

Wearing And Tearing (Page/Plant)

 

It starts out like a murmur Then it grows like thunder Until it bursts inside of you Try to hold it steady Wait until you're ready Any second now will do Throw the door wide open Not a word is spoken Anything that you want to do Ya know, ya know, ya know... Don't you feel the same way? Don't you feel the same way? But you don't know what to do No time for hesitatin' Ain't no time for hesitatin' All you got to do is move They say you're feeling blue, well I just found a cure It's a thing you gotta do, yeah Ya know, ya know, ya know... Now listen: You say your body's aching? I know that it's aching Chill bumps come up on you Yeah, the funny fool I love the funny fool ?Just like foolin' after school? And then you ask for medication Who cares for medication When you've worn away the cure Ya know, ya know, ya know... Go back to the country Yeah, go back to the country Feel a change is good for you When you keep convincin' Ah, don't keep convincin' What's that creeping up behind a you? It's just an old friend It's just an old friend And what's that he's got for you? Ya know, ya know, ya know... Do your dance do your dance do your dance Oooooh, medication. Medication! Medication!

She studies evil all the time She's a kindhearted woman.
