NOBODY WANTS HIM... THEY JUST TURN THEIR HEADS

[Insert pseudonym here]

IRON MAN

Has he lost his mind ?
Can he see or is he blind ?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall ?
Is he alive or dead ?
Has he thoughts within his head ?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care ?

He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
for the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again !

I don't know about you, but Black Sabbath will always be the shiz-nit to me. Iron man, though its commerical success ... has some deep lyrics. I definitely feel Ozzy on this one.

Ozzy left Black Sabbath in October of 1977 after having some personal problems. Needing a new vocalist, Tony Iommi remembered Dave Walker from their old Birmingham days and contacted him in San Francisco to ask him to come out to join Black Sabbath. On the flight from San Francisco to London in November 1977 and for the next three weeks, Walker had written lyrics to music the rest of Black Sabbath (Iommi on guitar, Terry "Geezer" Butler on bass and drummer Bill Ward) had put together for their next album (though no Walker vocals had been recorded) and they, along with Walker, appeared on the BBC Midlands TV program called "Look Hear" performing what turned out to be an early draft of "Junior’s Eyes" on January 6, 1978. After his exit from Black Sabbath in January 1978, Dave Walker had more or less left the music business eventually settling in Gallup, New Mexico from 1987-1998.

One time I was talking to Bill Ward about this time of the band's history, and Bill Ward had this to say about the Dave Walker era Black Sabbath... "No, these were not the very best of times. I was pretty much numb at that time period. Ozzy’s father Jack had died, and we were making I guess slow progress on the album. Juniors’ Eyes was a song very much for Oz and his dad. I mention that only because it was a song we did live at a lunchtime BBC show in Birmingham with Dave Walker. I have forgotten what else we did with Dave on that show, I’m pretty sure we did Juniors’ Eyes though, and of course it didn’t work. Not because of Dave, because the song was Ozzy’s as far as I was concerned. I felt crap at that time while Oz was away. If I sound vague, I am vague and very foggy about back then. We all liked Dave Walker as a mate so to speak. We got to know him when he fronted with Savoy Brown, and earlier when Dave played in the Redcaps, an early Birmingham band, from 60s. I liked Dave a lot, and I thought he had a great voice. When it came time to choose another singer all kinds of names came up, but Dave’s stayed. So, Dave flew in from Frisco to Field Farm, where we got on with rehearsals. Oddly enough, it was me who let Dave know that things were not working out, “I volunteered again.” I felt awkward and uncomfortable telling Dave this, as I liked him as a person very much.

When Oz started back at rehearsals everything felt normal again, even though I was buried in a bottle, with Oz there it was right. We went on to complete Never Say Die and the Never Say Die tour. It’s all quite sad to recall actually."

A National Acrobat
by Black Sabbath

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime

I've lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived

When little worlds collide
I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
And flashing memories
Are cast into the never ending well

The name that scorns the face
The child that never sees the cause of man
The deathly darkness that
Belies the fate of those who never ran

Well I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you'll understand
More when it's time to die

Don't believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on

I want you to listen!
I'm tryin to get through!

Love has given life to you
And now it's your concern
Unseen eyes of inner life
Will make your soul return

Still I look but not to touch
The seeds of life are sown
Curtain of the future falls
The secret stays unknown

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what it's worth
And live for every breath

Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring
---------------------------------------------
my girlfriend won't let me play any Sabbath around the house...a lot of folks just don't get it. Ozzy was preachin! mad1.gif
