Led Zeppelin-Hots On For Nowhere

Track #3 on side 2.
Probably my favorite track on the album, It not, a very close 2nd behind Tea For One.

Lyrics:
I was burned in the heat of the moment,
Though it couldn't have been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
(And a) tear fell as I turned away

Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder,
Event I should happen to fall
Time and his bride growing older
I've got friends who will give me fluck all

(On the) corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey

So (I) looked round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away.

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.

Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise

Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
Or you'll land in a boat without oars

Hey baby, Hey baby, Hey baby,
I lost my way.

Hey baby, Hey baby,
I really, really did it

Hey baby, Hey baby,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.

Hey baby, Hey baby,
Do you wanna know,
Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah?

Let me tell you my baby,
Let me tell you,
That it feels so good that it must be right

Now my baby,
Let me tell you
That it feels so good that it must be right...

what album is this

[AfroMan1171]

@MrWalkerds Presence, released in 1977.

I am suprised this one was not more popular, they pulled it off perfectly. It is one of their most underrated songs I think. But then again, Led Zeppelin doesn't make a bad song, there for almost all of their music is underrated.

@bellatourchampion They're better than any now, anyone in the past, and anyone in the future.

@AfroMan1171 Presence actually came out in March 1976.

Bonham is amazing in this!

[MagickZoso]

This song always sounded to me like the whole band is falling down 20 flights of stairs while still staying upright and playing. Then, at the 4 minute mark, they think they've hit the bottom and can stop.....but then they start falling again until the end where they stick a perfect landing! Love this song.

@SDman94 This is a Bonham masterpiece for sure.
