Help with Lyrics
I'd like to publish all the Led Zeppelin song lyrics, but I don't have room on my website. You can find most of the lyrics in my Bootleg database, and I've noted a few great lines below.
In a few instances I remain uncertain about the actual lyrics, both for Led Zeppelin and for Robert Plant. Many of the other web sites that publish lyrics obtained their Robert Plant lyrics from an early version of mine some time ago, and they contain many mistakes. I am trying to correct them and Bootleg now contains a lesser number of errors.
Lots of people view my Led Zeppelin pages, and I was hoping some people are able to offer my assistance.
Thanks to those who have already helped me in the past, including Chris Doherty, Ian Avey, and TheJoe.
If you are downloading lyrics from other sites on the web, be careful because some sites are used for propogating malware.
