In 1984, Plant formed a short-lived all-star retro rock group with musicians Jimmy Page (also of Led Zeppelin), Jeff Beck, and Phil Collins called The Honeydrippers. The band had a Top Ten hit with their song "Sea of Love", a remake of the Phil Phillips' chestnut. Plant's also notably performed with Page in the outfit Page & Plant.
Plant's love of the music of Morocco led him to a new collaboration called Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation. The band's releases met with critical acclaim and numerous Grammy nominations. They completed a notable 2006 tour of Europe in September.
In 2007, Plant began recording and performing with American bluegrass star Alison Krauss. A duet album, Raising Sand, was released on 23 October 2007 on Rounder Records. The album, recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles and produced by T-Bone Burnett, met with enormous critical and commercial success. Tours have reached devoted audiences in multiple cities.
The year of 2010 proves to be yet another successful year for the lemon squeezer. During the summer, Plant will be reuniting with his old, Pre-Zep group, The Band Of Joy, for a tour of the southern and mid continental tour of the US.
In 2012 Robert Plant starts another band project going by the name Sensational Space Shifters releasing the live album Robert Plant Presents: Sensational Space Shifters. Along with Plant himself the band consists of Liam "Skin" Tyson, Justin Adams, Billy Fuller and John Baggot along with Dave Smith, Juldeh Camara and Patty Griffin.
One More Cup Of Coffee
Robert Plant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie
I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your daddy, he's an outlaw
A wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade
He oversees his kingdom
No stranger dare intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls
For another plate of food
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf
Your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a lark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Oh, to the valley below
In Robert Plant's One More Cup of Coffee, the lyrics tell the story of a man who is leaving his lover and needs one more cup of coffee before he departs for the valley below. The first verse describes his lover's physical attributes, her sweet breath, her eyes like jewels, her straight back, and her smooth hair on the pillow. The second verse, however, reveals that he feels no affection, gratitude, or love from her. He realizes that her loyalty is not to him but to the stars above.
The third verse introduces her father as an outlaw who teaches his daughter how to pick and choose and throw the blade. He is protective and oversees his kingdom, and calls for another plate of food with a trembling voice. The fourth verse reveals that the sister has a gift of seeing the future, just like her mother and sister. However, they never learned how to read or write, and there are no books on the shelf. The lover's pleasure knows no limits, her voice is like a lark, but her heart is like an ocean, mysterious and dark.
The song is a beautiful storytelling piece that describes the complex relationship between two lovers who are not on the same page. The song reveals the man's understanding of his lover's true emotions and loyalty towards him, and his inevitable departure towards the "valley below."
Line by Line Meaning
Your breath is sweet
I find you physically attractive
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your eyes are beautiful
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
You have good posture and your hair is well-kept
On the pillow where you lie
While you sleep
I don't sense affection
I don't feel loved
No gratitude or love
You don't express appreciation or love towards me
Your loyalty is not to me
You're not committed to me
But to the stars above
You're more concerned with the universe than with me
One more cup of coffee for the road
I need to drink one more cup of coffee before leaving
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
I need to drink another cup of coffee before I leave
To the valley below
To my destination
Your daddy, he's an outlaw
Your father is a criminal
A wanderer by trade
He is a traveling criminal
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
He will teach you how to be selective
And how to throw the blade
He will teach you how to use a weapon
He oversees his kingdom
He is in control of his criminal world
No stranger dare intrude
No one unfamiliar is allowed in
His voice, it trembles as he calls
He is nervous as he calls out
For another plate of food
He is hungry
Your sister sees the future
Your sister has psychic abilities
Like your mama and yourself
You and your mother also have these abilities
You've never learned to read or write
You never received an education
There's no books upon your shelf
You don't own or read books
Your pleasure knows no limits
You indulge in whatever pleasures you encounter
Your voice is like a lark
Your voice is pleasant
But your heart is like an ocean
Your emotions are deep and complex
Mysterious and dark
Difficult to understand
Oh, to the valley below
I'll descend into the valley to depart from this place

Just discovered this version a few days ago while researching for a piece on Dylan covers. always pictured Dylan's version somewhere in Mexico, this puts you in Spain or Morocco, the weed and tequila having turned to red wine and hashish.

Sounds great always room for one more cup of coffee !!! ☕😉🎼🎵🎶🎤😔🇺🇸🇬🇧✌

Love this song. I can honestly say it is superior to Dylan's original and White Stripes versions. There's something so great about RP's voice during this era as it is starting to get that warmth and resonance like an antique guitar.

I'm the biggest Robert plant fan in the world but you have to be out of your mind to think this is better than Dylan's version.
