You know you shook me You shook me all night long. You know you shook me, baby You shook me all night long. You shook me so hard baby Baby, baby, please come home.

2. Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song

Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhh-ah We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow Hammer of the gods We'll drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, sing an' cry Valhalla, I am coming On we sweep-we with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore Ah-ah-ahhhh-ah, ah-ah-ahhh-ah We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow How soft your fields so green Can whisper tales of gore Of how we calmed the tides of war We are your overlords On we sweep with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore ?S-so now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins For peace and trust can win the day Despite of all your losing

4. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

4. Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven ?There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure ?'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings ?In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings ?Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven ?Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, it makes me wonder ?There's a feeling I get when I look to the west ?And my spirit is crying for leaving ?In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees ?And the voices of those who stand looking ?Ooh, it makes me wonder ?Ooh, it really makes me wonder ?And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune ?Then the piper will lead us to reason ?And a new day will dawn for those who stand long ?And the forests will echo with laughter ?If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now ?It's just a spring clean for the May queen ?Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run ?There's still time to change the road you're on ?And it makes me wonder ?Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know ?The piper's calling you to join him ?Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow and did you know ?Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? ?And as we wind on down the road ?Our shadows taller than our soul ?There walks a lady we all know ?Who shines white light and wants to show ?How everything still turns to gold ?And if you listen very hard ?The tune will come to you at last ?When all are one and one is all, yeah To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to heaven

5. Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain

5. Led Zeppelin - Fool in the Rain

Oh, baby Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining Like a star that can't wait for the night I hate to think I've been blinded baby Why can't I see you tonight? And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin' And the thrill of your touch gives me fright And I'm shaking so much, really yearning Why don't you show up, make it all right? Yeah, it's all right. And if you promised you'd love so completely and you said you would always be true You swore that you would never leave me, baby: What ever happened to you? And you thought it was only in movies How you wish all your dreams would come true--Hey It ain't the first time believe me, baby I'm standin here feeling blue Yeah I'm blue Now I will stand in the rain on the corner I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown Another ten minutes no longer And then I'm turning around The clock on the wall's moving slower My heart it sinks to the ground And the storm that I thought would blow over Clouds the light of the love that I found Now my body is starting to quiver And the palms of my hands getting wet I've got no reason to doubt you baby, It's all a terrible mess I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah Light of the love that I found...
