Classic Rock Lyrics

Out On The Tiles yrics - Led Zeppelin



As I walk down the highway all I do is sing this song,
And a train that passes my way helps the rythm move along.
There is no doubt about the words are clear,
The voice is strong, is oh so strong.
 
I'm just a simple guy and I live from day to day.
A ray of sunshine melts the clouds and blows my blues away,
There's nothing more that I can say but on a day like today
I pass the time away and walk a quiet mile with you.
 
        All I need from you is all your love,
        All you got to give to me is all your love,
        All I need from you is all your love,
        All you got to give to me is all your love.
        Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.
 
I'm so glad I'm living and gonna tell the world I am,
I got me a fine woman and she says that I'm her man,
One thing that I know for sure gonna give her all the loving
Like nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody can.
 
Standing in the noonday sun trying to flag a ride,
People come and people go come, see my rider right by my side,
It's a total disgrace, they set the pace, it must be a race
And the best thing I can do is run.
 
        All I need from you is all your love,
        All you got to give to me is all your love,
        All I need from you is all your love,
        All you got to give to me is all your love.
        Oooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah, oh yeah.

Drummer John Bonham would talk about going "Out on the tiles," meaning to bars. Jimmy Page wrote this around the phrase.
Mistakenly placed on the B-side of "Immigrant Song" in Japan rather than "Hey, Hey What Can I Do." Those copies are rare collector's items.
Title is a British term for going out on the town.
Page yelled "stop" as if to remind himself to stop playing.
Bonham is credited with writing this, along with Page and Robert Plant.
