Ozzy Osbourne : Down To Earth
Sabbath star's ill advised solo sojourn
We join Ozzy Osbourne , metal colossus and ghoulish bon viveur , gazing through the window, wondering whether Mother Earth will survive. That's 'Dreamer', a Beatles-y eco-ballad. On 'No Easy Way Out', there's a mantra-like middle-eight that sounds like Ian Brown. Legends should rarely be let off the leash, and few need tying down so much as Ozzy Osbourne ....

Ozzy Osbourne - Down to Earth: Wikipedia Album Entry
Down to Earth is an album by Ozzy Osbourne, released on October 16, 2001. It was the long awaited follow-up to his 1995 studio release Ozzmosis. It was also an Enhanced CD. The cover of the album is made of Osbourne's X-ray and his tattoos superimposed. It is the first and only studio album to feature former Suicidal Tendencies bassist Robert Trujillo, who would then go on to join Metallica in 2003. This was the first studio album Osbourne had ever done without the writing or performance of either Bob Daisley or Geezer Butler. Zakk Wylde didn't write any of the songs for the Ozzy Osbourne album "Down To Earth". his album with Black Label Society, 1919 Eternal, was originally supposed to be "Down To Earth", but Ozzy said it sounded 'too Black Label'.

Ozzy Osbourne - Down to Earth Lyrics
Ozzy Osbourne - Facing Hell Lyrics
You make promise of protection
To a future after life
To the final resurrection
And to eternal paradise
Ozzy Osbourne - Junkie Lyrics
You're coming down badly, you're crippled inside
A rat in your sewer, you've no place to hide
A gut wrenching fever, addicted to death
You don't give a fuck if it means your last breath
Ozzy Osbourne - Running Out Of Time Lyrics
Been around this world so many times
If you could only see my mind
I watch my secret heaven turn to hell
Ozzy Osbourne - Black Illusion Lyrics
You load the dice and fake the smile upon your face
With fingers crossed you switch the perfume with the mace
What kind of dreams do you enjoy inside your bed
I'll face the lies and shake the evil from your head
Ozzy Osbourne - Alive Lyrics
A child of a broken mind
The fear that I hide behind
I hate rejection
It's the worst, it gravely hurts me
Ozzy Osbourne - Can You Hear Them? Lyrics
So sick and tired of living and so afraid to die
I've lived so many lives and still I wonder why
The way the world perceives me is not the way I am
The one half thinks I'm crazy the other thinks I'm mad
Ozzy Osbourne - You Know... Lyrics
Tried to be your father
Things just made it harder
Sorry if I made you cry
