Sick Again Lyrics
From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah
Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise
Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,.
Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,Then you giggle as you heave and sigh.
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need.
Hours, hours, and the moments in between, Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times
the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes
Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,
Ooh, that's right.
One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies.
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah
Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,.
Said you dug me since you were thirteen,Then you giggle as you heave and sigh.
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need.
the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes
You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,

it was written by plant about female groupies.

Sounds like groupies or even street whores-- "painted ladies". Personally, I think Robert Plant is bi so "L.A. queens" might be about gay guys or trannies. Other than that, the only thing certain is they're young and he's mocking them, and all the while he's banging them:
"Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes "
"Do you know my name, do I look the same"-- it sounds like that's the groupie talking and he's mocking their desperation.
Zep is kind of gross, huh? I love their music but that all sounds so sleazy and pitiful...
la queens=a bunch of la groupies led by lori maddox,jimmy,s teen lover.
Well, Its oviously about jimmy page and lori maddox. i think it is because he met her when she was 13 or 14 "you dug me since you were thirteen" and it doesnt matter if plant wrote it. he could be writting it about jimmy. and at first, lori didnt wanna be with jimmy maybe refering to "Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want" and jimmy did meet lori in LA also refering to "La Queen". after jimmy broke up with her for Bebe Buell, lori was never the same. and devistated."Baby, dry those silver eyes" so its probibly about jimmy and maddox. well thats what i think anyways.
this is sort of the same subject matter as "what is and what should never be". seems like he had a thing for the groupie teen chicks that must have always been around him, but based on the lyrics of these songs, must have kept that thing as a fantasy and not let it actually happen.
From what I've read about Jimmy Page, that last sentence is probably not accurate...
What do you mean, plunketts?
Ever heard of Lori Maddox, mnkyonastick? But Plant wrote this song. I reallylike this song, it's a great way to end the album.
