next song Robert Plant: Manic Nirvana Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Calling To You
(Plant/Blackwell)
Beyond the river - over the sea
Somewhere's last last farewell that ever will be
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Out in the blue now, just waiting to be
A little breath of selflessness, adrift in all the greed
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Look for the match - cover Adam and Eve
All the world when new was fire - it still was the scene
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

So you're gonna - it's for your honour - it's gonna be done

Where you gonna go? when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
Just fadin' away, just fadin' away --
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Down To The Sea
(Plant/Jones)
Carry me down to the sea
Carry me down where they're waiting for me
That's where I want to be - that's where it all comes around
Watching the ships pass by me
Friendships and small ships and hardships and dreams
That's where I want to be - here where it all comes around
Oh, my head is in the sand
All my life passin' by

All of my days I have seen
All of the tears and the laughter and dreams
Movin' before me - waves and the ocean and sea
Life is a big tambourine
The more that you shake it the better it seems
This is my wisdom - these are just words from the sea
Oh my head is in the sand
All my days passin' by

When I get older - settling down
Would you come down to the sea

Carry me down to the sea again
Carry me down to the sea again --
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Come Into My Life
(Plant/Blackwell/Boyle/MacMichael)
Hopes drift in higher places - it's easier above the gloom
Among the hollow faces, I know you're there - it must be soon
And I must straighten up - review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes I thought I'd lost so long ago

Come into my life - here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away the gloom
Come into my life - here where nothing matters
Come into my life and roll away the gloom

Always a love and beauty - a lover's sighs content too soon
Somewhere behind her heartbeat a breath of kindness hints of gloom
So I must straighten up - review my disposition
Pour the hope back in my eyes I thought I'd lost so long ago

Come into my life [etc repeated]

Oh when you get there - you know I wanna be there
When you get there - well, you know I wanna be there
I wanna be there - I wanna be there

Come into my life [etc repeated]

Hopes drift in higher places - it's easier above the ground you know
Hopes are drifting - hearts been lifting
Somebody somewhere no, done you wrong - I don't know
Come on, come on, come on, baby
Come on, come on, come on, baby
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations I Believe
(Plant/Johnstone)
Tears, tears at the water's edge
Hey little sister, there is laughter instead
Tears for the teacher, from the eyes, from the soul
This restless spirit takes a long way back home
Like the wind, you are free
Just a whisper - I hear you, so talk to me

Oh, I believe, eye to eye
Say brother, sisters, see your brothers in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don't be so cold
It's only glory from the story I'm told

I believe, eye to eye
Say brothers, sister, see your brothers in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don't be so cold
It's so much glory from the story untold

Big fire, on top of the hill
A hopeless gesture, and last farewell
Tears from your mother, from the pits of her soul
Look at your father, see his blood run cold
Like the wind, you are free
Just a whisper - I hear you, so talk to me

I believe, eye to eye
Say brothers, sister, see your brothers in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don't be so cold
With so much glory from the story untold

I believe, eye to eye
Say brother, sisters, see your brothers in the sky
Neighbour, neighbour, don't be so cold
It's so much glory from the story untold
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations 29 Palms
(Plant/Blackwell/Jones/Boyle/Johnstone)
A fool in love - a crazy situation
Her velvet glove knocks me down and down and down
Her kiss of fire - a loaded invitation
Inside her smile she takes me down and down and down

Her moves look good - a touch of desparation
From where I stood she turned my head around, round and round

It comes kinda hard when I hear your voice on the radio
Taking me back down the road that leads back to you
29 Palms - I feel the heat of your desert heart
Taking me back down the road that leads back to you

Oh, I'm burning in love - a strange infatuation
White cold cold touch - what must I do, do, do
The heat and the dust increase my desolation
In God we trust - always for you, and you and you

It comes kinda hard [etc repeated]
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Memory Song (Hello Hello)
(Plant/Johnstone/Jones/Blackwell/Woods)
On my mind - all my talk
From the lips of so many memory songs
Prince of cool - are you lost without a crew?
Stars still shine - winds will howl
All my friends sense you now

On my mind - all my talk
From the lips of so many memory songs
Prince of cool - are you lost without the crew?
Beneath divided, we had our day
But hell provideth, I'm sad to say

Hello, hello, hello
I saw you once before
In my dreams you've come to call
You are my friend, you are my friend
You touch my soul

You touch my soul
Hello, hello, hello
Hello, hello, hello
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations If I Were A Carpenter
(Tim Hardin)
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
Carrying the pots I made - following behind me?
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness - give me your tomorrow

If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
Answer me, babe: "yes I would - I'd put you above me"
If a miller were my trade, at a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colour box - your soft shoes shining
Save my love through loneliness - save my love through sorrow
I give you my only-ness - come give me your tomorrow

If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Colours Of A Shade
(Plant/Johnstone/Blackwell/Allcock)
The day was old - the light was dim, as I stepped through the door
And all my friends were gathering that day that I recall
I shivered and shook, Lord I stood just waiting to chase the fall
I wondered how my time would be when spring comes round once more

I face the wind - I have no choice, but you must guard the heart
And cast adrift from those I love, alone I drag my heart
Against the cry of "why?" I turn my back to go
But out beyond the tears somewhere, someone I need to know

It's only love, in the colours of the shade
It's only love, in the colours of the shade

Old photographs were fading dim - my seed will tell it all
And by the fathers' fathers' hands such pain on all was raw
They read the signs without surprise of how they knew it well
And in the mirror still I see the man, who came from hell

It's only love and the colours of the shade
It's only love, in the colours of the shade
It's only love, in the colours of the shade
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Promised Land
(Plant/Johnstone)
Oh baby - can't eat, can't sleep, can't understand a love song
Drive me crazy 'cause my feet won't quit as I go slidin' in the sweet zone
Round round like you want me to do
Down down like you're beggin' me to
The floor's small and the wall's too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep

Oh, baby, got those personal moves so deep inside my move groove
I go crazy - my head won't quit as I crawl inside your love groove
Down down like you want me to do
Round round like you're beggin' me to
The floor's small and it's much too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep

I feel alright, 'cause my little girl wants to dance all night
What can I do - I know my little girl wants to dance with you

Oh darling, come on baby, come on and mess with me
Oh woman, I'll make it up to you, if you just drive me wild, child
Down down like you want me to do
Round round like you're daring me to
The floor's small and the wall's too steep
I can kiss your mouth when I go to sleep

I feel alright, 'cause my little girl wants to dance all night
What can I do - I know my little girl wants to dance with you
I feel alright - my little girl wants to dance all night
What can I do - I know that girl wants to dance, dance, dance

Round round like you want me to do
Down down you're beggin' me to
The floor's small and much too steep
I can kiss your mouth as I go to sleep

I feel alright, 'cause my little girl wants to dance all night
All my life - you know my little girl she wants to dance, dance, dance
I feel alright - my little girl she wants to dance all night
What can I do - my little girl wants to dance
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations The Greatest Gift
(Plant/Blackwell/Jones/MacMichael/Johnstone)
Everything I do, yes I do for my love
Every place I go, she is on my mind
I would give the world, my soul, to discover
Send me just a sign, angel on my mind

And if I should dream, I could dream of no other
Out here in the deep, hear my body crying
Heaven knows the fire that I hide under cover
Glorify this fool, angel on my mind, on my mind

This is the greatest gift that I can bring to you
I feel the world that moves inside
This is the moment I have dreamt of all my life
Reach out and touch, and you will find

Why am I crazy, who is fooling with the order
I am strong - I will not fade - I will survive
Look in my eyes, you'll see my heart - I will recover
Send me just a sign, angel on my mind, on my mind

This is the greatest gift [etc repeated]
next song previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Great Spirit
(Plant/Johnstone/MacMichael)
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Who has chased away the moonbeams?
Who has pulled a blanket across the sky?
Who will sing in celebration
Throughout this land that's bound to die?
Oh - that's bound to die

(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Who will put an end to all this sadness?
Who hears the Earth that cries beneath the burning rain?
All truth reduced to piles of greed and madness
The accident remains the same
It remains the same

(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Robbery and evil and the stealing
From the body and the mind for the healing
Of the spirit and the pride and the will of the land
(Grace and courage, honesty and love)
There's evil, there's evil, there's evil going on

(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
I love my brother - I must share the seed
That falls through fortune at my feet
The fate of nations and of all their needs
Lies trapped inside these hearts of greed

(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
Great Spirit come - come on, come on
(Great Spirit come - Great Spirit come)
(Grace and courage, honesty and love)
Great Spirit come - come on, come on
It's the will of the land
(Great Spirit - Great Spirit)
The will of the land
We'll sing in celebration --
Page/Plant: No Quarter previous song Robert Plant: Fate Of Nations Network News
(Plant/Blackwell)
Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
Frontiers drawn on paper
No consideration made for
The poor creature who is living
By the grace of God just giving
He's live on network news
Live on network news

Flags, princes, kings
Patriotic tools
As freedom lies in twisted heaps
Whose final breath his soul to keep
Whose greatest foe, the endless sleep
Whose dying wish to reach next week
A bloody star on the network news
A bloody star on the network news

Tanks, boats and planes
Fire, pain and lies
Environmental terrorists
Tease propaganda's paper fist
Whose trade is all the truth that fits
Who often lies but never sits
But on the fence it's the network news
Yes, on the fence it's network news

The lion and the serpent parade out in the sun
All order, flex and gesture
All hail - the techno infidel has come
With satellite bravado and infra-red texture

Beyond these days in time to come
Whose fate is it to measure
Upon these sands such damage done
To spoil God's finest treasure

Beyond these days [etc repeated]

Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
Guns, death and noise
Sand, oil and blood
