Welcome to the first installment of Great Music Lyrics! Join me as we celebrate some of the all time great rock songs with some of the all time absurd lyrics.
Our first installment, Osbourne Osbourne waxes eloquently in Black Sabbath's classic "Fairies Wear Boots":
Goin home late last night
Suddenly I got a fright
Yeah I looked through a window and surprised what I saw
A fairy with boots and dancin' with a dwarf
Oh all right now!
Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
Yeah I saw it, I saw it, I tell you no lies
Yeah fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me
I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes
All right now!
So I went to the doctor
See what he could give me
He said "Son, son, you've gone too far.
'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do"
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
I don't think much has to be added in the way of commentary. I will say that I've always enjoyed Ozzie's penchant for inserting a "yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" at various points in his songs. Almost as though he forgot the next line. Actually that's a very distinct possibility.
You could limit this to Ozzy lyrics and still make muy hey with this one. How 'bout "Evil Woman":
ReplyDeleteI've seen a look of evil in your eyes
You've been filling me all full of lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deeds
Do well best, someone else has better seen
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Now I know just what you're looking for
You want me to claim that child you bore
Well you know that it must he not be
And you know the way it got to be
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Evil woman, don't you play your games with
Again, what needs to be said, really? "Do well best, someone else has better seen." Any ideas here? Ozzy? I guess if you put enough menace and grave Moses-on-the-rock into this, we could be fooled into thinking it means something. How about "Well you know it must he not be." Even Yoda would never say that. I'm guessing the child you speak of, Ozzy, is praying with his little hands that you daddy are not he, either.
Excellent! A great addition from some lesser Ozzy!
