Well, Scott-I pulled an old copy of the Moby Grape album and compared it
with SIBLY and whatda know-Robert indeed lifted the lyrics from the
Grape. As for the lyrical content- the original line "I've been working
from eleven to seven" was rewritten by Robert as "I've been working from
seven to eleven", besides that the lyrics are the same. At the time of
the release of Zepppelin III, during the great heyday of underground
radio-one of the big bruhahas of the time was that Zeppelin had dared to
pinch some lyrics from the Grape-Sacrilege!! they cried!! --aah those
were the days.
So perhaps you should obtain a copy of the original Grape version, give
it a listen, and you'll see what I mean.
