Ozzy Osbourne "Fire In The Sky"

This is one of my favorite songs by Ozzy that never went mainstream. I think its just a great song, maybe it's the lyrics that speak to me. What do you think?



The introduction to his heartache began as a child
So it's no wonder that he grew up to be so wild
So he protected his feelings in walls he imagined
But castles crumble, exposing the frightened child

Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning

In solitude he couldn't deal with his own existence
The burning questions in the castles have still remained
God only knows how he searched in vain for the answers
Now castles crumble, exposing his naked flames, yeah

Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning

Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning
Fire in the sky
Can't you see that all my castles are burning?
Fire in the sky
Won't you help me now, my castles are burning

Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne "Close My Eyes Forever"

Here's a classic duet that's always been a favorite of mine.



Baby I get so scared inside
And I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind
Or is it fantasy?

Heaven is in the palm of my hand
And it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do
With a childhood tragedy?

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?

Sometimes, it's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me

You're like a dagger
And stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep, would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave?

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same?

Will you ever take me?
No, I just can't take the pain
Would you ever trust me?
No, I'll never feel the same, oh

I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged?
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same? Oh yeah

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes for me

Ozzy Osbourne - "No More Tears"

I had the opportunity to see Ozzy for his "farewell" tour in 1992, as you know, he never did retire. I can tell you that the man puts on an incredible show, it was even better in a smaller venue.
