Daz:

I've only heard the one CD, but there was a familiar lyric here and there
("In through the out door" and "If my wings should fail me" for two). Of
course, In My Time Of Dying is an old Folk song...The Animals did it in `65
as Bury My Body and even Dylan did it on his first album (`61). So that may
not qualify as a Zepism.
