Led Zeppelin's, "Black Dog"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I don't know but I been told
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.
A big legged woman ain't got no soul.
Why They're Nonsensical:
That just sounds silly. How can the size of a woman's legs tell if she has a soul or not? If I were Robert Plant, I'd get a second opinion.

Led Zeppelin's, "Dancing Days"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I told your mamma I'd get you home,
but I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
with a tadpole in a jar
but I didn't tell her I had no car
I saw a lion he was standing alone
with a tadpole in a jar
Why They're Nonsensical:
Okay, so this seems like a non-sequitur. The rest of the song is equally nonsensical, as well.

Led Zeppelin's, "Good Times Bad Times"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
When my woman left home for a brown eyed man,
well, I still don't seem to care.
well, I still don't seem to care.
Why They're Nonsensical:
It would seem you cared enough to notice something as trivial as the eye color of the guy she ran off with.

Led Zeppelin's, "Stairway To Heaven"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our souls
Our shadows taller than our souls
Why They're Nonsensical:
Ok, does Robert Plant mean that as we age, we tend to view our life and accomplishments in an exaggerated or embellished way? Whatever it means, somehow deep lyrics like that don't seem right in the 'intense' part of this song...maybe if that line was towards the beginning it would have fit in that 'poetic' part.

Led Zeppelin's, "Stairway To Heaven"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
And as we wind on down the road,
Our shadows taller than our souls
Our shadows taller than our souls
Why They're Nonsensical:
Robert Plant sounds so intense when he sings this. He must think it means something... but how can you compare the height of shadows with your souls? Maybe it's figurative? I just don't know...

Led Zeppelin's, "Stairway To Heaven"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring-clean for the May Queen
don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring-clean for the May Queen
Why They're Nonsensical:
These are all derived from Celtic mythology. Jimmy Page is very big into that sort of thing and used it in the band's music a lot. This is probably why they may all seem nonsensical to the average listener.
