There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh ooh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh ooh and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen

There's still time to change the road you're on

StH is about the Teletubbies possessing the bodies of people that build escalators and taking over the world. "All that glitters is gold" represents Tinky Winky and his purse.
i agree!!! it's about a metaphorical stairway the teletubbies tell of to reach the baby sun-god!
Nice man nice....I think ill join up with that theory man....
I've been trying to explain this to people for years. It's all so obvious.
teletubbies are you kidding me? i really hope you are joking. If you are serious than you are probably super stoned and disrespecting one of the greatest songs and band of all time.
seriously, what kind of crap/crack are you on?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Tella-fkn-Tubbies???? REALLY???<br /> ----The post I'm referring to is 12yrs old..this idiot may never see this comment- but, I just had to say; wtf: tella damned tubbies???<br /> Whatta nutbag!
guys chill the fk out he's obviously joking rofl
@cheshireranch182 <br /> Your interpretation kind of explains the line "If there's a buzzer in your hedgehog, don't be alarmed now" that never made sense to me... until now.
@cheshireranch182 I'm not one for Occam's razor. I tend to believe that the most absurd thing is true. Therefore, you just might be onto something. lolz.<br /> <br /> Come to think of it, "and the forests will echo with laughter" is definitely referencing clumsy Po who always falls down, causing the other teletubbies to say, "uh, oh, Po!"
@cheshireranch182 At last! A definitive answer that puts to rest the drugs vs materialism vs Lord of the Rings allusion!
I'm laughing hardest at the comments from people who cant take a joke.
