Alright now!
Won’t you listen?
When I first met you didn’t realize
I can’t forget you or your surprise
You introduced me to my mind
And left me wanting you and your kind
I love you. Oh you know it
My life was empty forever on a down
Until you took me showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf — though you can’t hear
Come on now — try it out
Straight people don’t know what you’re about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
Today in Canada is the 1st day the Sweet Leaf is finally free! Time to light up, crank up the music and celebrate this amazing day in Canadian history!
Imagine: a 17 year old hearing this for the first time with headphones, long hair, a loner, slightly disturbed, on a do nothing Thursday. It was great. Led Zep finally had some company.
