Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is.
I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,oh
so I asked them if I could stay a while.
I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us, said, "Please,hey,
would we care to all get in line, Get in line."
Well, you know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun; Oh, oh,oh.
he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.
Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
and baby, baby, baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin',
ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're comin'; oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind.
If you go down in the streets today, baby, you better,
you better open your eyes. WOAH WOAH YEAH
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care , really don't , which, which way the pressure lies,
so I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
where the spirits go now,
over the hills where the spirits fly.
I really don't know.

at frank and about the hobbit | Reviewer: mac | 1/27/09
Yeah, a lot of led zepp songs are about the LotR. The third stanza of ramble on is about the most obvious reference I've i ever seen. There's also some in stairway to heaven, over the hills and far away, and the battle of evermore.

The Hobbit | Reviewer: Frank | 11/16/08
This is one of my all time favorite Zeppelin songs, and anyway, today I picked up a book called The Hobbit. It's the prequel to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and I think some of this song is about that book!
I'm very curious to hear if somebody else has maybe seen this connection also? I'll point out specific parts.
"So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
where the spirits go now,
over the hills where the spirits fly.
I really don't know."
In the beginning of the book, Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who is solicited on an adventure with the wizard Gandalf. He decides to go
Well, you know, they asked us to stay for tea and have some fun; Oh, oh,oh.
he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.
-Bilbo invites Gandalf to tea to discuss the adventure over the misty mountains. He brings his friends (the 13 Dwarves who were also embarking on the adventure.)
Listening to this on my old treasure chest record player right now. Such an amazing song, as you would expect from Led Zeppelin. Side two of Zep IV, to me, just oozes their greatness. Some of the best songs there. Though I am not the biggest fan of their heavier songs (Black Dog, Rock & Roll ect....Not saying I don't enjoy them greatly, to those who are appauled at the moment), the emotion put into all of their songs is just magical. I think their lighter, kind of mystical side is much more enjoyable. I greatly adore John Paul Jones and John Bonham (Rest In Peace.) and their on stage chemistry. Just jamming together behind the up front, mind blowing vocals and guitar riffs....
Anyway. I'm rambling. A magnificant song in all.:D
If emo is short for emotional (which it isn't but that's how its been twisted by the dumb ass population and MTV)
and all music is emotional, or any music worth listening to is,
then all music is emo..?
btw emo is actually short for emotive: a type of thrash-music (not much different then your idea of 'emo' now) back in the 90's or some shi
One of the few young people who knows what good music really is | Reviewer: Quental Musical Instruments | 7/29/08
I love Zeppelin, and almost every song by them. Do you think there will rly be a Zeppelin tour, and if so will it ever hit Boston? Oh and in response to "My Generation Sucks"... I haven't heard a good new song since late 90's-early 2000's.... i was born like 35years too late
known and loved this song for ages, but had never made out the line "There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'" - the rhythm with which those words are sung is just fantastic. Sounds like it's in an unusual time signature (Like Pink Floyd "Money" in 5/4) but it's just straight 4/4 with the syllables accented in unexpected ways.
to 'my generation sucks' below: there will be good music back soon; it goes in cycles. When the economic depression hits, and inequality grows ever greater, there will be really good music made, borne of passion and truth.
Why not make some youreslf? Or write some lyrics and give them to someone who plays... Yeah i should take my own advice too. I'm just sitting here like a book on a shelf rustin.

all the music these days is just god awful, Led Zeppelin is a breath of fresh air from all this emo crap, and especially Misty Mountain Hop, it's the best Led Zeppelin tune next to their beautiful masterpiece, The Rain Song. Plant and Paige are just wonderful!
