Tea For One Lyrics

Tea For One Song Chart

Lead singer Robert Plant wrote the lyrics to this slow, reflective Blues number about the loneliness he felt being constantly on the road. He found himself in a New York hotel drinking tea for one when he penned the words. One reason the band stayed out of England so often to tour and record: to avoid the taxes.

Led Zeppelin would scrap a song if they thought it sounded too similar to something they already recorded, but they made an exception for this one. According to Jimmy Page, "Tea For One" is similar in mood to the 1970 Zeppelin live favorite "Since I've Been Loving You." He explained in a 1977 Trouser Press interview: "The chordal structure is similar, a minor blues. We just wanted to get a really laid-back blues feeling without blowing out on it at all. We did two takes in the end, one with a guitar solo and one without. I ended up sitting there thinking, 'I've got this guitar solo to do,' because there have been blues guitar solos since Eric (Clapton) on Five Live Yardbirds and everyone's done a good one. I was really a bit frightened of it. I thought, "What's to be done?" I didn't want to blast out the solo like a locomotive or something, because it wasn't conductive to the vibe of the rest of the track. I was extremely aware that you had to do something different than just some B.B. King licks."

This song forms the last track on the band's seventh studio album, Presence. The cover art shows a family of four seated together at a table, apparently at a harbor-side restaurant.

This entire album was recorded in just 18 days Musicland Studios in Germany, with Plant in a wheelchair the whole time from injuries sustained in a car accident.

"Tea For One" is a slow-blues song in C minor; another Zeppelin song of the same form is "Since I've Been Loving You."

A favorite of many Led Zeppelin diehards, this whole song never got played much at concerts; however, sometimes the introductory riff would be included as a lead-in to another song. It finally got its due when Zeppelin played it in full with an orchestra backing in their Japan concert tour in 1996.

Spitting over Ace Bankz's dark and choppy beat, Chief Keef brags about his riches:

Been gettin' money since '08 summer
I been riding hunnids
That ain't nothin' That ain't nothin'
I been getting money been spending money boy that's little money
That ain't nothin' That ain't nothin'
Made it out the jects now I'm on a jet
Still throwing up my set

Keef made it out of Chicago's O Block ("the jects"-the projects) and is now living the good life.

The 6400 block of South Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, is known as the O Block after the late 20-year-old Odee Perry. A member of the Chicago Black Disciples gang, he was shot dead in 2011 - one of 19 people shot on O Block within a space of three years. It is regarded as the most dangerous stretch of road in Chicago.

Nobody's Fault But Mine Lyrics

Nobody's Fault But Mine Song Chart

This was inspired by American Blues singer Blind Willie Johnson, who played in the 1920s. In searching for a deeper meaning to the song, fans came up with a few ideas. Some thought it was about Jimmy Page's blossoming heroin addiction. Others thought it was comparable to Robert Johnson's "Hellhound On My Trail," in that it was Plant lamenting Zeppelin's supposed deal with the devil. A third theory is that Plant was apologizing for the song "In My Time Of Dying," which after his car crash he said he would never sing again. (thanks, steven - chesapeake, VA and John - Boca Raton, FL)

Jimmy Page overdubbed his guitar intro 3 times. He played one guitar an octave higher than the others.

Robert Plant was recovering from a car accident and had to record his tracks from a wheelchair.

During the live version of this at Knebworth, Plant repeatedly screamed, "Oh Jimmy!" right before Page went into his solo. This was something Plant commonly did at live shows. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Page and Plant played an acoustic version on their 1995 No Quarter tour, sometimes swapping it with "When The Levee Breaks." (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

The Christian group The 77s recorded this for their 1994 album Drowning with Land in Sight. (thanks, Thomas - Marion, IN)

I Was Meant for the Stage Lyrics

I Was Meant for the Stage,
I was meant for the curtain.
I was meant to tread these boards,
Of this much I am certain.

I was meant for the crowd,
I was meant for the shouting.
I was meant to raise these hands
With quiet all about me. oh, oh.

Mother, please, be proud.
Father, be forgiven.
Even though you told me
'son, you'll never make a living.' oh, oh.

From the floorboards to the fly,
Here I was fated to reside.
And as I take my final bow,
Was there ever any doubt?
And as the spotlights fade away,
And you're escorted through the foyer,
You will resume your callow ways,
But I was meant for the stage.

The heavens at my birth
Intended me for stardom,
Rays of light shone down on me
And all my sins were pardoned.

I was meant for applause.
I was meant for derision.
Nothing short of fate itself
Has affected my decision. oh, oh.

From the floorboards to the fly,
Here I was fated to reside.
And as I take my final bow,
Was there ever any doubt?
And as the spotlights fade away,
And you're escorted through the foyer,
You will resume your callow ways,
But I was meant for the stage.

I Was Meant for the Stage Song Chart

Asked by American Songwriter magazine in 2015 if there is a song of his that he is most most proud of, Colin Melroy replied naming this track from The Decemberist's second record. He explained: "It's kind of a statement to the world. I think it worked well."

"It was such a funny song to play live when we were playing little clubs," Melroy continued. "There was an irony to it that now is almost completely lost. Once you start playing big theaters, the tragedy of it flips and suddenly it loses some of its shimmer. I still love that song a lot, but I loved it most in 2004 or 2005."

This was inspired by early '50s rock. Robert Plant put the lyrics together from parts of Elvis Presley songs.

The band wrote this in about an hour at a studio in Germany. They were under pressure to finish Presence so the Rolling Stones could use the studio.

Robert Plant considers this one of his favorites.

This was released as a single in America, but it did not chart.

Plant sang this from a wheelchair because he was recovering from a car accident.

The Kids Aren't Alright Lyrics

Stuck in the jet wash
Bad trip I couldn't get off
And maybe I bit off more than I could chew
And overhead of the aqua blue

Fall to your knees bring on the rapture
Blessed be the boys time can't capture
On film or between the sheets
I always fall from your window
To the pitch black streets

And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fade
Former heroes who quit too late
Just wanna fill up the trophy case again

And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

I'm not passive but aggressive
Take note, it's not impressive
Empty your sadness, like you're dumping your purse
On my bedroom floor
We put your curse in reverse

And it's our time now if you want to to be
More the war like the carnival bears set free
And your love is anemic and I can't believe
That you couldn't see it coming from me

And I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit too thin
All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead

And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

And sometimes I just want to sit around
And gaze at my shoes yeah
And let your dirty sadness fill me up
Just like a balloon

And in the end
I'd do it all again
I think you're my best friend
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright
And I'll be yours
When it rains it pours
Stay thirsty like before
Don't you know that the kids aren't all, kids aren't alright

The Kids Aren't Alright Song Chart

The song title comes from The Who's 1979 concert documentary called The Kids Are Alright. It is not a reference to The Offspring's 1998 single of the same name. Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz told Kerrang!: "I'm not super familiar with The Offspring, although Dexter (Holland, singer) was in a dream of mine the other night where he flew his plane and picked us up. As much as saying the kids aren't all right, it's when we were the kids."

Pete Wentz told Rock Genius regarding the "Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright," hook. "The reference here is all over the place. Just I guess the point is - you don't have to be alright all the time. It's OK to get down. The world has this expectation of perfection sometimes. I personally align myself against it."

Wentz wrote the "Overhead of the aqua blue" line one time when the band were landing in Southern California. Asked by HMV.com how he writes the lyrics, he replied: "Sometimes I write in interviews, or when I'm driving. I try to remember key words, and then I take voice notes. Sometimes it's on planes or in hotel rooms, but if I sat down to write it never happens, that and when I'm with my kids, can't do it then. It's weird, it somehow used to be more effort and yet more effortless. Sometimes I have so much, but not this time, this time I said to Patrick (Stump, vocals) 'Patrick, use it all, there is no more.'"

Ten Years Gone Lyrics

Ten Years Gone Song Chart

Robert Plant wrote the lyrics about a girlfriend who made him choose between her and his music 10 years earlier. She got the boot. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine (March 13, 1975) the interviewer, Cameron Crowe, asked Robert Plant what gambles he had taken. Plant replied: "Let me tell you a little story behind the song 'Ten Years Gone' on our new album. I was working my ass off before joining Zeppelin. A lady I really dearly loved said, 'Right. It's me or your fans.' Not that I had fans, but I said, 'I can't stop, I've got to keep going.' She's quite content these days, I imagine. She's got a washing machine that works by itself and a little sports-car. We wouldn't have anything to say anymore. I could probably relate to her, but she couldn't relate to me. I'd be smiling too much. Ten years gone, I'm afraid. Anyway, there's a gamble for you."

Jimmy Page used some 14 guitar tracks to overdub the harmony section on this piece, which was originally intended to be an instrumental number. He cites this track as an example of a Led Zeppelin song that wasn't riff-led, relying on orchestrated guitars instead.

John Paul Jones used a strange 3-necked guitar and bass pedals to play this live. It became too much of a chore and they dropped it from concerts in 1977.

Robert Plant: "'Ten Years Gone' has been meticulously assembled from different sections written by Jimmy. After the tremendous focus dedicated to such a song, we played anything to warm ourselves up. This is how 'Trampled Underfoot' and 'Custard Pie' were born." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Led Zeppelin played this when they opened and closed the Knebworth Festival in 1979. (thanks, Marshall - Gallatin, TN)

Fourth of July Lyrics

(You and I were, you and I were fire.
You and I were, you and I were fire.
You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fire)

It was the Fourth of July
You and I were
you and I were fire, fire fireworks
that went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were,
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
On the fourth of July

I’ll be as honest as you let me
I miss your early morning company
If you get me
You are my favorite "what if"
You are my best "I’ll never know"

Oh, I’m starting to forget
Just what summer ever meant to you
What did it ever mean to you?

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it
I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa
In between being young and being right
You were my Versailles at night

It was the fourth of July
You and I were
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were,
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
On the fourth of July

My 9 to 5 is cutting open old scars
Again and again 'til I’m stuck in your head
Head my downward spiral, never mind I'll be drowned
And I’m the holy water you have been without

And all my thoughts of you
They could heat or cool the room
And now don’t tell me you’re fine
Oh, honey, you don’t have to lie

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean any of it
I just got too lonely, lonely, whoa
In between being young and being right
You were my Versailles at night

It was the fourth of July
You and I were
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I'll miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
On the fourth of July

I wish I’d known how much you loved me, hmm
I wish I cared enough to know, um, hmm
I’m sorry every song’s about you
The torture of small talk
with someone you used to love

It was the fourth of July
You and I were
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
That went off too soon
And I'll miss you in the June gloom too
It was the fourth of July
You and I were
you and I were fire, fire, fireworks
I said I’d never miss you, but I guess you’ll never know
Where the bridges I have burned never really led home
On the fourth of July

Kashmir Lyrics

Kashmir Song Chart

All band members agreed this was one of their best musical achievements. Robert Plant said it was "One of my favorites... it was so positive, lyrically." Page has answered the question "What is the greatest Zeppelin riff of all" by citing this song.

Plant wrote the lyrics in 1973 while driving through the Sahara Desert on the way to the National Festival of folklore in Morocco. Kashmir is in Southern Asia; he was nowhere near it. In Mojo magazine, September 2010, Plant explained: "'Kashmir' came from a trip Jimmy and me made down the Moroccan Atlantic coast, from Agadir down to Sidi Ifni. We were just the same as the other hippies really."

The original title was "Driving To Kashmir."

This runs 8:31. Radio stations had no problem playing it, especially after "Stairway To Heaven," which was almost as long, did so well.

Kashmir, also known as Cashmere, is a lush mountain region North of Pakistan. India and Pakistan have disputed control of the area for years. The fabric Cashmere is made from the hair of goats from the region. The area is also famous for growing poppies, from which heroin is made. (thanks, erourke - Raleigh, NC)

Plant thinks John Bonham's drumming is the key to this: "It was what he didn't do that made it work."

The signature guitar riff began as a tuning cycle Jimmy Page had been using for years.

This is one of the few Zeppelin songs to use outside musicians. Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections. Jimmy Page said (Rolling Stone, 2012): "I knew that this wasn't just something guitar-based. All of the guitar parts would be on there. But the orchestra needed to sit there, reflecting those other parts, doing what the guitars were but with the colors of a symphony."

Led Zeppelin played this in every live show from it's debut in 1975 to their last concert in 1980.

Page and Plant recorded this with an orchestra and Moroccan musicians for their 1994 Unledded album.

Puff Daddy (he wasn't Diddy yet) sampled this in 1998 for a song called "Come With Me." He performed it on Saturday Night Live with Page on guitar.

The remaining members of Led Zeppelin performed this at the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary party in 1988 with Jason Bonham on drums. It was a mess - the keyboards got lost in the feed and Plant was bumped by a fan and forgot some of the words. They had more success when they performed the song on December 10, 2007 at a benefit show to raise money for the Ahmet Ertegun education fund.

In the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Mike Damone tells Mark Ratner, "When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin 4. In the next scene, he is on the date with this song playing in the car. Cameron Crowe, who wrote the screenplay, couldn't get the rights to any of the songs on Led Zeppelin 4, so he used "Kashmir" instead. Crowe used Zeppelin's "That's The Way" on his 2001 movie Almost Famous.

Plant said in an audio documentary that he loved this song not only because of its intensity, but also because it was so intense without being considered "Heavy Metal," a label none of the band liked. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Jimmy Page: "The intensity of 'Kashmir' was such that when we had it completed, we knew there was something really hypnotic to it, we couldn't even describe such a quality. At the beginning, there was only Bonzo [drummer John Bonham] and me in Headley Grange. He played the rhythm on drums, and I found the riff as well as the overdubs which were thereafter duplicated by an orchestra, to bring more life to the track. It sounded so frightening at first..."

Peter Grant: "I remember Bonzo having me listen to the demo of 'Kashmir' with only him and Jimmy. It was fantastic. What's funny is that after a first recording of the song, we found it sounded a bit like a dirge. We were in Paris, we had Atlantic listen to it, and we all thought it really sounded like a dirge. So Richard (Cole) was sent to Southall in London to find a Pakistanese orchestra. Jonesy put it all together and the final result was exactly what was needed. He was an exceptional arranger."

They say we are what we are
But we don’t have to be
I’m bad behavior but I do it in the best way
I’ll be the watcher of the eternal flame
I’ll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)
I’ll try to picture me without you but I can’t
'Cause we could be Immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long

If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals
Immor immortals, immor immortals

(Immortals) Sometimes the only payoff for having any faith
Is when it’s tested again and again everyday
I’m still comparing your past to my future
It might be your wound, but they’re my sutures

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (Glass, glass)
I’ll try to picture me without you but I can’t
'Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long

If we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor immortals, immor immortals

And if we meet forever now, pull the blackout curtains down
We could be immortals, immortals

This motivational track features in the 2014 Walt Disney Animation Studios film Big Hero 6, which is based on the Marvel team of comic superheroes. An alternative version is featured on the American Beauty/American Psycho album.

Fall Out Boy was tapped to write and perform the song by Disney for the film's sequence in which the Big Hero 6 team is transformed from a group of super smart individuals to a band of high-tech heroes "The idea of this kid stepping up on behalf of his brother is what inspired the song's title 'Immortals,'" vocalist Patrick Stump said. "Your victories aren't exclusively yours, so the fact that all of these people are coming together to help him get to the finish line is really exciting."

"They're testing out their new super suits for the first time in the scene," added bassist and lyricist Pete Wentz. "Some of it works - some of it doesn't. You get the sense that they're stepping into a bigger role."

Bron-yr-Aur Lyrics

Bron-yr-Aur Song Chart

This is a 2-minute acoustic guitar instrumental written by Jimmy Page.

Bron-yr-Aur (pronounced "Bron-rar") is a place in Wales where Page and Plant went after a tough tour in the US. They needed to put another album together, and decided to go there for a change of scenery. They ended up writing many of the songs for Led Zeppelin III on the trip.

Some minor string squeaks and small mistakes were left in to keep the live feel. Jimmy Page liked it that way.

This was recorded in 1970 at the Led Zeppelin III sessions. It was resurrected for Physical Graffiti to fill the double album.

The title is spelled differently from "Bron-y-aur," as in "Bron-y-aur Stomp," another Zeppelin song.

Led Zeppelin played this live during their early to mid 1970 tour to preview the third album, then it was dropped entirely from setlists. (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

This song along with "Friends" features Open C tuning by Jimmy Page. The rattling heard in the song is from most of the strings being tuned low. (thanks, JT - Tullahoma, TN)

On the demos recorded at Headley Grange, you can hear Jimmy Page playing this, with young Carmen Plant's laughter in the background! (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Truly, truly, truly here

Into the override, how we ride the brake
Sleeker and cheaper, the wind change
Following people, they I say
Expect your incentives have paved the way

Everything Is Wrong, oh, everything is wrong
I guess we open time, what is now is overcome

Truly, truly, truly

I think I know why, I say what I say
Inverse achievements, I rule the daze
Am I more soulful? Am I coming down now?
Can we start over as agents of peace?

Everything is wrong, wrong, everything is wrong
All we have is time, but my heart is going wrong
We're taking a part of both of us,
But nobody likes to wait
Everything is wrong, truly wrong
Everything is wrong
Everything is wrong

Truly, truly, truly

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

We made our home, without begging a pardon
We made our home, with time alone
It's taking apart the best of us,
And nobody likes to wait

Everything is wrong, truly wrong,
Everything is wrong

The song's black-and-white music video was directed by the band's frontman Paul Banks. The clip sees all three members of Interpol walking the New York streets with Banks accompanied by a bouncer. They then all converge on a backstage room before a performance.

Banks' girlfriend Helena Christensen makes a cameo appearance in the music clip as 'babe on street.' The supermodel's best known video appearance was the visual for Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game," which found her seducing the singer on a beach.

Actor Christopher Abbot also appears in the clip as himself. You might know him from his role of Alison Williams' boyfriend Charlie in Girls.
