Black Sabbath the End of the End Page #4

f***ing disappeared.

You know, I wait

for a f***ing hour,

get in the tour bus,

get in the f***ing...

F***ing

What a joke!

F***ing sh*t that was.

What you gonna do?

Time's caught up with you

Now you wait your turn

You know there's no return

Take your written rules

You join the other fools

Turn to something new

Now it's killing you

First it was the bomb

Vietnam napalm

Disillusioning

You push the needle in

From life you escape

Reality's that way

Colours in your mind

Satisfy your time

Oh, you

you know you must be blind

To do something like this

To take the sleep

that you don't know

You're giving Death a kiss

Oh, little fool now

Your mind is full of pleasure

Your body's looking ill

To you it's shallow leisure

So drop the acid pill

Don't stop to think now

Come on!

You're having

a good time, baby

But that won't last

Your mind's

all full of things

You're living too fast

Go out enjoy yourself

Don't bottle it in

You need someone to help you

Put the needle in, yeah

Let me see those hands!

Tony got his diagnosis

as we were

writing the album.

Um, he didn't even

realise at the time

that he'd lost so much weight.

He was, like, so thin,

and Ozzy said to him,

"You know you've lost weight,

have you been

to a doctor lately?"

And he was saying, "No."

So, we had to

break for Christmas,

and he went to a doctor,

and they diagnosed

his lymphoma.

Yeah, well

I think as soon

as I was diagnosed,

it changed my life entirely.

I mean, I had to

think differently,

do things differently.

Um, try and get

some reasonable sleep

as opposed to

staying up.

And when

he was having chemo,

that completely knocked

the hell out of him.

Time was of the essence,

I didn't know

I was actually

going to be alive

to finish an album,

to be honest.

I thought for me

it was, you know,

I could go next year, you know.

But he wouldn't give up,

he'd go to the hospital,

he'd just have

his chemotherapy,

and come in to the studio,

and he just wouldn't

give in to it, which...

And that greatly

inspired us.

Some days

I'd feel really rough,

and I couldn't work,

and the other lads

helped me through that

because we could...

They'd come to the house,

and they understood

if I said, "I'm tired,

I gotta go and lie down."

And they were...

They were all with it.

I mean, I got...

I just, like,

admired him so much,

I thought,

he's going through that,

and he's like fighting

to get this album done,

and so, it was

total inspiration.

I wanted to get

an album done, and get,

you know, do what I could

and keep working through it.

Because the last thing

I wanted to do

was to sit around

moping about having

this and that

and the other, you know.

Yeah, he's got

that fight in him that's...

I mean, I don't

think I would...

If I'd have been diagnosed,

I'd have gone,

"Thank you.

Gone to bed forever."

Um...

He's just always

been a fighter, Tony.

I mean, he's always...

He is the fighter

in the band, isn't he?

Yeah, I mean,

literally, we used to be

a fighter as well

when we were growing up.

I find it difficult

to turn my back

on things like that.

Because if you do,

we don't get anywhere.

You just got to...

I've just always

been like that.

I just have to

go through it

and carry on.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

Louder!

Louder!

Hey, hey, hey.

I am 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?

God bless you all!

He was turned to steel

In the great magnetic field

When he travelled time

For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him

He just stares at the world

Planning his vengeance

That he will soon unfurl

Let me see your hands,

come on.

I don't give a f***

what anybody says.

There is not

a human f***ing soul

or anybody else

who can come up

with a riff like that.

F*** it.

Time and time again, I go,

"He can't...

He can't beat that.

There's no f***ing way."

And every time

he will do it.

I don't know, it's probably

the one thing that I can do,

and I've said it,

and I'll probably never

come up with another riff.

And when he dried up,

he f***ing dried up.

I was like,

"What's happened

to our genius?"

He's f***ing unbelievable.

And considering

he had to take out

his finger at the doctors

forget playing guitar.

That's f***ing

determination.

And until this day,

I am baffled

how he knows

what f***ing string he's on.

Let's go crazy

a little while.

Come on, let's go.

All right.

Come on, let's go.

Go crazy, all right?

Come on!

Geezer said that

he reckons you're playing

better than ever.

Would you agree with that?

Yeah, but he's got

his monitor switched off,

he can't hear well.

Well, you know,

Geezer and myself

have always

been really close.

Not only as friends,

but in playing,

you know,

we bounce off each other.

It's almost psychic

in some ways.

Both just lock on.

It's only like that

when I'm playing with Tony.

Like, I play

with other people, I just...

It's just not

the same feeling.

It's just the feeling

that Tony exudes

sort of gets into me soul.

The kind of thing

comes out of my soul

is between we playing.

I'm nowhere near as good

on bass when I'm playing

with anybody else,

but he just brings it

out of me.

There's nobody else

Like him.

I am Iron Man!

Come on!

Thank you!

Have you let go

OF the resentment

about getting ripped off

in the early days?

-Does that still bug you?

-Well, you got to accept it.

You can't let it

ruin your life.

It's a part of

what happened

to so many bands

as well from that period,

you know, went through...

Because there was no

legal lawyers as such,

musical lawyers, anyway.

In them days,

you just had

a regular lawyer

who'd draw up a contract,

which was...

You know, with

loopholes galore in it.

So, I mean, you know,

from The Stones onwards,

we've had the same problem.

And we were

bad enough with

the one that we did get

never mind

what we didn't get.

If I had a lot of

millions of dollars,

I'd have been doing heroin

every f***ing week.

If we'd have had our money,

we would've all

been f***ing dead.

Everybody's got to jump.

Come on, you guys, come on!

Come on, let's go crazy!

I love you guys!

All right, let's go! Come on.

Revolution in their minds

The children start to march

Against the world

in which they have to live

And all the hate

that's in their hearts

They're tired of

being pushed around

And told just what to do

They'll fight the world

until they've won

And love comes

flowing through

Yeah

Let's go!

Children of tomorrow live

in the tears that fall today

Will the sun rise up tomorrow

bringing peace in any way?

Must the world live

in the shadow of atomic fear?

Can they win

the fight for peace

Or will they disappear

Thank you!

I want to see
