Robert Plant Pictures At Eleven Lyrics
1.Burning Down One Side(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Jezz WoodroffeRobbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Jezz WoodroffeRobbie BluntRobert Plant

Slipped through the window by the back door
Caught short in transit with my love
Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance
How could I fall without a shove?
Tiptoe like thunder on my feelings
You rock me gently with your sighs
My knees are weak, my head is reeling
Consumed by fire in your eyes...
Don'tcha know why?
Goodness no! Why?
Stepped in and shattered my defenses
Just playing hookey with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart
Yes my poor heart
Try as I might, try as I may
Yes I'll I try anything to just make you stay
'Cuz I need your love, yes I need your love
Ooh I need your love, yes I need your love
I'm looking high I'm looking low
Tryin' to find where did my baby go
Gotta find out why she ran away
I don't know, where did my baby stay?
Try as I might, try as I may
Oh I'll try anything to just make you stay
Just find that 'Boulevard d'Amour'
Shoot through a neon in the night
Hotfoot through alleys, check the doorways
Try that old parking lot on 9th
There's three-course kissing in the same way
Oh but that don't help me none no more
I've been away so long and dreaming
Little girl ain't I seen you before?
Ooh little girl...


2.Moonlight In Samosa(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Robbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Robbie BluntRobert Plant

Time and again I see you walking down the street
Over and over, just like before
Once in a while you stop and say hello to me
Just like you used to do before
Time and again, it's like we were in love and then
Over and over - nobody keeping score
Once in a while I think you notice when I smile
That love still lingers in my eyes

It can't go wrong, it can't go wrong
It lingers on, it lingers on

Day after day I turn it over in my mind
Dream after dream it's hard to tell you how I find
Out of the blue I'm suddenly so close to you
Despite the years that I've been gone
Will you stop - will you wait a minute - please remember
Can you stop - can you just give me one minute to explain
I will not cause a fuss, I will not rock the boat - believe me
darling
Oh what is, what was, it's all the same


3.Pledge Pin(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Robbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Robbie BluntRobert Plant

Watch them go, 'cuz one by one they rise to fall
Hearts in tow
It's just a game she's only having fun
She laughs and turns away
Surprised, she mocks 'It's all the same,
tonight's the loss, tomorrows' gain'
and in the end it's so.
Oh!
Stand in line, 'cuz one by one they march in time
in the wings, we stand and watch these foolish things go by
just preparing for the play
aloof she moves, the confidante with practiced step
memory dance, she executes her role, role.

And as the cavalcade begins to thin do you stop and look around
free to choose but not to win
you're just too late, your show is at an end
now you're the victim of your game
through your fingers, watch them slip
familiar moves just hit and miss
the one who never slows


4.Slow Dancer(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Robbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Robbie BluntRobert Plant

Slow.....
Slow dancer, ooh no answer for you
new moves to see
Oh, fast talker, in darkened corners, for you
new words to hear
Oh sly glances, half-chances for you
the eye that sees

When the sun slips from the day
and the coolness brings relief
there's no torment 'neath the stars
in the stillness of the night
when the swirling has to cease, behind the safety of the veil

Now...
In high places, ooh darkened faces, so indifferent in days to be
Oh lost race, no losers only winners return to see
New orders can't be altered, when the eyes refuse to see

and the sun slips from the day, and the coolness brings relief
there's no torment 'neath the stars in the stillness of the
night
when the swirling has to cease behind the safety of the veil
ah ah ah ah, ah ah oh

Now
Soft spoken, never could be broken awaiting the call that frees
slow burning, soon will learn, complacence bears down on me
hearts leaping, hopes been reachin' to the heights - to the
heights
the signs to see


5.Worse Than Detroit(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Robbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Robbie BluntRobert Plant

Operator, give me Central, Central
Help me try to get my baby on the line
Information, hear me calling, calling
Find that number, give it to me one more time
It's been so long since I saw her
Anything I'd give to hear the little girl of mine
Whatever it takes, got to make it, make it
Please connect me now before I lose my mind
Because I don't know, no I don't know what I'm gonna do
No I don't know, no I don't know what I'm gonna do

Tastes so good, sweet as honey, honey
All she carries is impossible to use
It's built for speed man, watch her coming, coming
Moves so fast in someone else's shoes
Looks so fine lord, watch them running
Anything she wants you feel obliged to do
Keep your hands in your pockets
She can shift more gold than the king of Peru
But I don't know, no I don't know what I'm gonna do
No I don't know, no I don't know what I'm gonna do

Man drinks whisky, drive him crazy in time
Woman sits and cries as day will follow day
Man need lovin', keep him happy sometime
Woman gets some when the honeydripper's on his way
But I don't know, no I don't know what I'm gonna do
But I don't know, but I don't know --
No I don't know, no I don't know, no I don't know
She can do it, she can do it, she can do it babe
She's sweet as honey, sweet as honey, sweet as honey


6.Fat Lip(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Jezz WoodroffeRobbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Jezz WoodroffeRobbie BluntRobert Plant

I can't believe it, it happens each day
It's ill conceived, just throw it away
To watch the waiting time slipping away
It won't be long now

I hold the moment, the hour is sublime
It's hard believing, dancing with time
To watch the waiting time slipping away
It won't be long now

Down at the landing when the boats come in
People stand in line
Close by the water where the fishes swim
Round and round to pass the time
But you know it's gonna get there
Around and around it's gonna spin

Out at the airport where the planes come in
People buzzing like flies
Out at the airport where the planes come in
See the hours go flashing by
But you know it's gonna get there
Around and around it's gonna spin

Down at the station where the trains come in
Never make it on time
Down at the station where the trains come in
See my friends all walk the line
But you know they're gonna get there
Around and around they're gonna spin

View it all with suspicion, view it all and despise
View it all with suspicion, view it all with my eyes


7.Like I've Never Been Gone(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Robbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Robbie BluntRobert Plant

I'll see you baby, when the ice has broken
When the rain stops fallin' down
I'll be waiting for you
Baby when your time has come
and your face no longer frowns
I caught a taste of sprintime on your lips
I sense the light in your eyes
I'd wake to find you smiling with the dawn
Just reminders of the times
I feel your breath
I look around but you are gone
... I see the place where you'd been lying
I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I see the light in your eyes...
It'[s been so long, it's been so long
so long, since you've been gone
I look away, I can't see that you're gone
I guess I'm standing here alone
Across the sea, I see bluebirds on high
and in wildest places too
Above the ground the wind is calling out to me
Oh, to lead me back to you
I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I can still see the sunlight in your eyes
In your eyes
It's been so long
It's been so long
So long
Since you've been gone
I look away, I can see that your gone
I guess I'm standing here alone
Well I'll see you babe
When the ice has broken
When the rain stops falling down
I'll be waiting for you
Baby when your time has come
and your face no longer frowns
but I caught a taste of springtime on your lips
I see the sunlight in your eyes....
Oh, Oh... yes, I can, I can, I can...
Yes, I can see, I can see
I can see that it's true yes,
Oh Baby, it's like I've never been gone...
Just like, just like I've never been gone...
Oh baby, it's like I've never been gone.....


8.Mystery Title(2006 Remastered LP Version)

Lyricist:Robbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Robbie BluntRobert Plant

Had to leave in a hurry, couldn't wait to get away
It's not a case of being sorry, it's the price I have to pay
Confidentially I think it's sad, but there's nothing I can do
If the road leads to the highway, well I'm hot and I've got to
move
Ah-ha I've got to move

Got to change my arrangements, had the word I'm on my way
Couldn't stand it much longer, got the move, I'm on my way
I didn't mean to let you down but there's nothing I can do
If the road leads to the highway, well I'm hot and I've got to
move
I'm hot and I've got to move

Talk of strain in relations, of the days of being confused
You told me never to worry, I'll never ask you to choose
Categorically I have to say it's as much as I can do
To sit around here waiting, when I'm hot and I've got to move

Oh, sometimes it's lonely - but it's the only way I know
And the road is leading me on
Ooh baby, I've got to move, yes
Oh, now baby baby, I've got to leave
And when I think back I smile and know that win or lose
It's the road that's calling me on
Ooh, baby baby I've got to move, yes
Ooh, baby baby I've got to move, yeah

There's a man in a suitcase, standing in a darkened room
Message light is burning, and the blinds are always drawn
It's been a while since the last time, never should come back
too soon
Behind, the door is slamming, when he's hot he's got to move
When he's hot he's got to move


9.Far Post(2006 Remastered 12' Single)

Lyricist:Jezz WoodroffeRobbie BluntRobert Plant
Writer(s):Jezz WoodroffeRobbie BluntRobert Plant

No talk of love between us
Some things better left unsaid
Talk of the plans move through my head
Through my head

No talk of tears and pain
It's been so long
I really don't know your name
It's the rules of the game

Wheels keep a turning 'round and 'round
Years keep spinning 'round and 'round
No words assured without a trace like the shadows in the sun
No room for fools who rush it's all been done

You've got new friend in new pools
And you know they're putting troubles to the vote
Tired eyes slow dance in the sunlight
It's all a joke

Wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round
Years keep spinning 'round and 'round
With the passing of your time though you seldom come to mind
I remember the day

Sure as winter follows fall
Sure as maybe i will call just remember the day

Far off the hazy day long gone the lingering gray
Chill winds blow cold around the fire's glow
Farewell the call to arms release the captive heart
Time's keeper clouds the skyline on the last resort

Wheels keep spinning 'round and 'round
Years keep spinning 'round and 'round
With the passing of your time though you seldom come to mind
I remember the day

Sure as winter follows fall
Sure as maybe i will call just remember the day
