Содержание
The reference to `Corner of Bleeker and nowhere' sounds like it might be a reference to Bleeker Street, in which case there are several he might be referring to. There is a Bleeker Street in New York City, in Greenwich Village, which is home to many aspiring musicians and is the location of some small bars that Jimi Hendrix and others played in before they became famous. Also, this Bleeker Street is very close to the building on the cover of "Physical Graffiti", and may be adjacent to, or actually converge with St. Marks Place at some point. There is also a Bleeker Street in London which is famous for having lots of pubs on it. New Orleans, in keeping with the delta blues style of the album, may also have a street named Bleeker. Another lyrical reference to Bleeker Street is in the Simon and Garfunkel song "Bleeker Street". The rest of the song is something of a diatribe by Plant against close friends "who would give me fuck all", the people in question apparently being Jimmy Page and Peter Grant.
Текст
I was burned in the heat of the moment, Oh, it could've been the heat of the day When I learned how my time had been wasted, Dear fellows I turned away Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder, When I should happen to fall Time and his bride growing older I've got friends who will give me fuck all Corner of Bleeker and nowhere In the land of not quite day A shiver runs down my backbone Face in the mirror turns grey So, I looked around for a hitch from a reindeer Said you oughta find him out in the day I turned around to look for the snowman To my surprise he'd melted away. The moon and the stars out of order As the tide tends to ebb and sway The sun in my soul's sinking lower While the hope in my hands turns to clay I don't ask that my feet fall on clover I don't roam at opportunity's door Why don't you ask my advice, take it slowerv Then your story'd be your finest reward. Lost on the path to attainment Search in the eyes of the wise When I bled from the heart of the matter I started bleeding without a disguise Now everything's finally happened Now and then you've got to take time to pause When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around Or you'll land in a boat without oars Hey babe, Hey babe, Hey babe, I lost my way. Hey babe, Hey babe, I don't know where I'm gonna find it. Hey babe, Hey babe, Do you wanna know, Do you really, really, wanna help me, yeah? Let me tell you now, babe Let me tell you That it feels so good that it must be right Now my babe, Let me tell you That it feels so good that it must be right…
