Σε πείσμα κάποιων σκληροπυρηνικών που έσπευσαν / εξακολουθούν να υποβαθμίζουν το 5ο άλμπουμ των Ozzy & Co λόγω “progressive” στοιχείων και ενός “ανάρμοστα ραφιναρισμένου” ήχου (να’ χουμε να λέμε) το Sabbath Bloody Sabbath είναι μια από τις αδυναμίες μου της περιόδου. Ακούμε δυο κομμάτια από αυτό.
Despite some hardliners who rushed / continue to downplay Ozzy & Co’s 5th album due to “progressive” elements and an “inappropriately refined” sound (just to say something), Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is one of my favorites from that period. Let’s hear two tracks from it.

(00:00) LOOKING FOR TODAY
It’s complete but obsolete
All tomorrow’s become yesterday
In demand but second hand
It’s been heard before you even play
Up to date but came too late
Better get yourself another name
You’re so right but overnight
You’re the one who has to take the blame
Everyone just gets on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can’t believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried
Don’t delay you’re in today
But tomorrow is another dream
Sunday’s star is Monday’s scar
Out of date before you’re even seen
At the top so quick to flop
You’re so new but rotting in decay
Like butterfly so quick to die
But you’re only looking for today
Everyone just gets on top of you
The pain begins to eat your pride
You can’t believe in anything you knew
When was the last time that you cried
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Listen, glamour trip so soon to slip
Easy come but oh how quick it goes
Ten foot tall but what to fall
Hard to open yet so easy to close
Front page news but so abused
You just want to hide yourself away
Over-paid, but soon you fade
Because you’re only looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today
Looking for today

(04:57) SPIRAL ARCHITECT
Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of God sitting in the sun
Keeping peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry
Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself
And see my world
And know that it is good
You know that I should
Superstitious centuries
Didn’t time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disguise
Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories
And feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should
Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motories
Say give, give, give
Laughter giving, love is showing
Me the way
Spiral building architect
I build, you pay
Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my Earth
And feel the warmth
And know that it is good
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should
You know that I should
