I don't know 'Stairway to heaven'

Led Zeppelin. Even if you never heard it, you may remember it being played at the end of one of the Lethal Weapon movies. Maybe the lyrics will help.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

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

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

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 forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

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

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't 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 souls
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
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

which for some reason has made me thing "gotta knock a little harder by the seatlebelts" I think it went Stairway-Knockin on heavens door-Gotta nock a little harder

RE: Stairway to Heaven, I thought the lyrics were a bit different. Then again, songs from the 70's were not always enunciated clearly...

You could well be correct about the words. I couldn't remember them all, so I just downloaded the lyrics from a website. I think that enunciation problems are not restricted to the 70s. All my life, I have thought that I knew the lyrics to songs, only to find out many moons later that I really didn't hear some phrase correctly.

24 - May I suggest you get your internal jukebox serviced by a qualified technician as soon as possible. It appears to be broken.

Nahhh, I haven’t heard any annoying songs lately. Also, I for the most part avoid reading this thread and the lyrics posted on it. That helps. :yes:

Are you referring to the song from "Annie" or have you actually confused this thread for the Tangent Thread (aka the Weather Thread)? :D :angel: :whistle: :chin:
