Led Zeppelin

The Lemon Song

I should have quit you, long time ago.
I should have quit you, long time ago.
I wouldn't be here, my children, down on this killin' floor.

I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
I should have listened, baby, to my second mind
Everytime I go away and leave you, darling, you send me the blues way down the line.

Said, people worry I can't keep you satisfied.
Let me tell you baby, you ain't nothin but a two-bit, no-good jive.

Went to sleep last night, worked as hard as I can,
Bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man.
I should have quit you, baby, such a long time ago.
I wouldn't be here with all my troubles, down on this killing floor.

Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg.
Squeeze me baby, till the juice runs down my leg.
The way you squeeze my lemon, I'm gonna fall right out of bed.

I'm gonna leave my children down on this killing floor.

The Residents

Not sure of a song by them..

Listening to Zeppelin as we type... I love them so much. I never even heard of the residents, so this is just a stupid vote, haha.

I'm gonna give you my love....

I've been really lovin "livin loving (she's just a woman)" lately.... great tune it is. And all of their live stuff is awesome. I almost have all of their CDs... I have 93 songs of them from CDs on my computer.. I loveit, haha. Great ****ing band...

I smell a shut-out...

Or maybe thats just me...

As much as I love zeppelin, I cant vote for them, because I have never listened to "The Residents". I refuse to vote unfairly like that.

The Residents are better than you, and your stinking Led Zeppelin...

By the way, here are some lyrics.

"Santa Dog" by The Residents

Santa Dog's a Jesus Fetus
Santa Dog's a Jesus Fetus
Santa Dog's a Jesus Fetus
Has no presents,
Has no presence
In the future...
...In the future

A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves
A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves
A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves
A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves
A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves

A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness severed sleeves
Bing, Bing, Bing, Bong, Bong, Bong, Snowness severed sleeves

A fleeting and a greeting scene of effervescent eves
Bing, Bing, Bing, Bong, Bong, Bong, Effervescent eves

Greeting and a meeting team of hoarse and frosty words
Bing, Bing, Bing, Bong, Bong, Bong, Hoarse and frosty words

A greeting and a cheating team and other noxious herbs
Bing, Bing, Bing, Bong, Bong, Bong, Other noxious herbs

A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves
A fleeting and a sleeting scene of snowness and of sleeves

Santa Dog
Has no presents
Has no presence
In the Future!

Santa Dog's a Jesus Fetus?!?!?!?!?! Er... what the ****?

Classic Rocker · 06-29-2004, 11:41 PM

Led Zeppelin! They rox. Good Times Bad Times is my favorite Zep song

What the hell. I might as well give the residents a chance. That song sounds pretty awesome.

Precisely.

I dunno...The Residents take a special kind of mindset to listen to. Sometimes they can seem overwhelmingly weird, other times they can seem remarkably different and interesting. The latter times are what make them worth listening to.

I bet the Residents don't have hidden messages about Satan when you play their songs backward. >_>

Naw, it seems the Resident's have Satanic messages when you play their songs forward, haha....

And yes, Zeppelin ripped off many, many blues songs....
