This is the springtime of my loving -
the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing -
so little warmth I felt before.
It isn't hard to feel me glowing -
I watched the fire that grew so low.
It is the summer of my smiles -
flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes
it is to you I give this tune.
It isn't hard to recognise -
these things are clear to all from
time to time.
Talk Talk -
I felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us
but I know that I love you so
but I know that I love you so.
These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion -
I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient -
Upon us all a little rain
must fall.
Over The Hills And Far Away
Hey lady - you got the love I need
oh Maybe - more than enough
oh Darling Darling walk a while with me
- oh you've got so much -
Many have I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed
Along the open road.
Many times I've lied
Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered
How much there is to know.
Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dream
And a pocketful of gold.
Mellow is the man
Who knows what he's been missing
Many many men
Can't see the open road.
Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing
You really ought to know
You really ought to know.
The Crunge
I wanna tell you bout my good thing I ain't
disclosing no names - but she is a good friend
I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from if I tell
you you won't come again I ain't gonna tell you that
I should do but I know now let me tell you bout
my girl open a newspaper and what do I see
see my girl looking at me and when she walks,
she walks and when she talks, she talks and
when she looks me in the eye she's my baby
I wanna make her mine tell me baby what you
want me to do you want me to love you, love

I ain't gonna tell you nothing I can't tell
you no more she's my baby let me tell you I love
her so and she's the woman I really wanna love
and let me tell you more she's my baby she lives
next door she's the one a woman the one a woman
that I know I ain't gonna tell you one thing that
you really ought to know she's my baby and I love
her so she's the one that really makes me whirl
and twirl and she's got the kind of love that makes
me fill the whole world and she's the kind of girl
makes me jump and shout she's the kind of girl
let's me know what it's all about take it take it.
[Excuse me
Oh will you excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge...
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Have you seen the bridge?
I ain't seen the bridge!
Where's that confounded bridge?]
Dancing Days
Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows.
CHORUS
You know it's alright
I said it's alright
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?
Crazy ways are evident
In the way that you're wearing your clothes
Suppin'' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow.
CHORUS
I told your mamma I'd get you home
But I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar.
CHORUS
Dancing days are here again
As the summer evening grows
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows.
CHORUS
D'yer Mak'er
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
Baby please don't go.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ay
All those tears I cry ay ay ay ay ay
Baby please don't go.
CHORUS
When I read the letter you wrote me
it made me mad mad mad
When I read the news that it brought me
It made me sad sad sad.
But I still love you so
I can't let you go
I love you - ooh baby I love you.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Every breath I take oh oh oh oh oh
Every move I make oh oh oh oh oh
Baby please don't go.
Ay ay ay ay ay ay
You hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ay
You hurt me to my soul ay ay ay ay ay
Darling please don't go.
CHORUS
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
You don't have to go oh oh oh oh oh
(Baby please don't go)
(Whatever happenned to Rosie and the Originals?)
No Quarter
Close the doors, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter,
They ask no quarter.
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter, they ask no quarter.
The Ocean
['We've done four already but now we're steady
and then they went: one, two, three, four'] (John Bonham's counting-in)
Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball.
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the oceans roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing of the good things and the sun that lights the day
[I used to sing on the mountains], has the ocean lost it's way.
Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.
