Radio Paradise (mobile)

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what Mama told me
My friend, the boy next door
I can't believe what people sayin'
You gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
You're in the darker side of town
And when I'm out, I see you walkin'
Why don't your eyes see me?
And could it be you've found another game to play?
What did Mama say to me?
"That's the way, oh, that's the way it oughta be"
Yeah, yeah
Mama said, "That's the way it oughta stay"
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dyin'
Had they got ya hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matters
And all you do is stand and cry
I don't know what to say about it
When all your ears have turned away
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see
Is that the way it oughta stay?
"That's the way, that's the way it oughta be"
Whoa, don'tcha know now
Mama said, Mama said, "That's the way it's gonna stay"
Yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Aaah

heliosweb Nov 28, 2012 - 17:05	Is that a dulcimer I hear on this track? Sure sounds like one. (I used to play one way back in my early teens. Built it myself from a kit. Only played for a few years, then abandoned it. But I still have it up in my closet.) Just curious... Steve [ Reply ]

Sasha2001 Sep 26, 2012 - 21:31	RoaldSchuring wrote: is it me or does this sound a lot like going to california? nevertheless great song Interesting comparison. Going to California expresses a lifestyle and culture based, in part, on Plant's romanticized view California's natural splendor. In the book, "Hammer of the Gods" author Stephen Davis reports that Plant's lyrics for "That's the Way" were based on his progressive environmental stance. I think it's obvious that the natural world is a major inspiration for Plant. Is there another band besides Zep that thematically combines the pastoral mysticism of nature with the bone-crunching exigencies of rock? [ Reply ]

Used to find LZ III really boring but your tastes mellow as you age. I still snicker, though, when I hear "Immigrant Song" and think of the YouTube video with the kitty Vikings. Al, don't crush me, bro! [ Reply ]
