Song
The song deals with the assistant to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, whose job it is to source out and procure cocaine for the musician. Throughout the song he continually compares his life to that of an ordinary person whose life is racked with misery and spousal unfaithfulness, contrasted with that of the roadie, whose only concern is the acquisition of cocaine.
