The lyrics to Stairway to Heaven came to Robert Plant in a flash of inspiration when he and Jimmy Page were sitting by a fireplace with Page strumming the intro chords. Plant: "I was holding a pencil and paper, and for some reason I was in a very bad mood. Then all of a sudden my hand was writing out the words, 'There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold/And she's buying a stairway to heaven.' I just sat there and looked at the words and then I almost leapt out of my seat."
This led to speculation that it was Satan who was moving the pencil.
