Houses of the Holy

I had a dream. Crazy dream. 

Anything I wanted to know, any place I needed to go 



Hear my song. People won't you listen now? Sing along. 

You don't know what you're missing now. 

Any little song that you know 

Everything that's small has to grow. 

And it has to grow! 



California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain 

Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same. 



Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo. 

City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding... sliding... sliding through.

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've 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. 

Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from 

time to time. 



Talk Talk - I've 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 



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.

Hey lady--you got the love I need 

Maybe more than enough. 

Oh Darling... walk a while with me 

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 tou really ought to know, ooh! 

You really ought to know...

I wanna tell you bout my good thing 

I ain't disclosing no names but-- 

He sure is a good friend and! 

I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, no! 

If I tell you you wont come again! Hey! 

I ain't gonna tell you nothin but I do will, but I know, yeah! 

I should do but I know now let me tell you bout my girl: 

Open up a newspaper and what do I see? Ahh, ah 

See my girl, ah, looking at me 

Ooh, And when she walks, Ooh, lemme tell ya: 

She walks and when she talks, she talks and 

When she looks at me in the eye 

She's my baby lord I wanna make her mine 

Tell me baby what you want me to do! 

You want me to love you, love some other man too? 

Ain't gonna call me Mr. pitiful, no! 

I don't need no respect from nobody... 



I ain't gonna tell you nothing I ain't gonna no more, no! 

She's my baby let me tell you that I love her so and 

And! She's the woman I really wanna love 

And let me tell you more, oooh! 

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 ooh! 

She's my lover baby and I love her so and 

She's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl! 

And she's the kind of lover that makes me me fill the whole world and 

She's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ooh! 

She's the kind of girl--I 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 are here again as the summer evenings grow 

I got my flower, I got my power, I got a woman who knows. 



*CHORUS 

I said it's alright. You know it's alright - I guess 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' boze 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

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, it made me mad mad mad 

When I read the news that it brought me, t 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)

Close the door, put out the light. 

No, 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. 



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 pain, the pain without quarter. 

They ask no quarter. 

The dogs of doom are howling more!

(Count-In: John Bonham - "We've done four already but now we're steady 

and then they went: One, two, three, four") 



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, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball. 



Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar 

Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more! 

Singing about 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.
