The Enchanter (UNKLE Reconstruction) - Robert Plant

Well, I'm lost I'm a frayed Rope tying down a leaky boat To the roof of a car On a road in the dark And it's snowing If I'm more Then it means less Last call for happiness I'm your dress near the back of your knees And your slip is showing I'm a float In a summer parade Up the street in the town that You were born in With a girl At the top wearing tulle And a Miss Somewhere sash Waving like the queen Well beauty's just another word I'm never certain how to spell Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on And throw away my misery It never meant that much to me It never sent a get-well card And I broke Like a bad joke Somebody's uncle told At a wedding reception in 1972 Where a little boy under a table with cake in his hair Stared at the grown-up feet as they danced and swayed And his father laughed And talked on the long ride home And his mother laughed And talked on the long ride home And he thought about how everyone dies someday And when tomorrow gets here, where will yesterday be? And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat Buy me a shiny new machine That runs on lies and gasoline And all those batteries we stole from smoke alarms And disassembles my despair It never took me anywhere It never once bought me a drink

Here we are Burning up in our cars And in our hearts Better days Sleeping late with our headaches Perfect weather Congregate Lay in wait for an answer They're still waiting Grit your teeth The lucky taste as the day breaks The blind are leading the blind Better Better days with a headache Perfect weather Xenon lights Dots go dashing the highways Nothing's moving Radiates Everything lasting for seconds Evaporated Lovers' lips Drinking late at the station Smiling faces Coming clean Wiping your face in whatever There's an answer Better Better days with a headache Perfect weather

One, and a two, and a three, and a four It is I, man, I come and I knock on your door You'd better let me in cause I full a fashion and I come with a little rythm fi make you dance on Ina the club and ina the party Everybody dance, they're feeling harty Whiggle your body and wave your hands and Jump around ina style and pattana Whether you're black and whether you're white When you're ina the party you fi feel allright Bassline pumpin', gyal them jumpin' Everybody in the party lookin' for something Some of them a look this, some of them a look that Some a look gyal and even some of them a look man Level vibration they're ina the dance, so Come crowd and people, just jump and prance Take away the colour, erase away the pain Let's all live together, we're all the same Open up you hearts and open up your minds Free to be as one, just about that time I to the C to the E to the M to the C I see come crowd and people follow me With the rythm and the way that we whiggle and me wine With the words make you dance and move you behind So wipe you farrid if you'ead a sweat an Drink a beer and find the action In the vicinity you have the ability Dash away the coke and dash away the ecstasy

Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' Being born is goin' blind And bowin' down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin' Hey, mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't, I can't use nothin' Oh I can't use nothin'
