Black Sabbath - Iron Man (Alternate Lyrics)

[Nirvana368]

can anybody write what ozzy says at the beginning of the vid

i cant figure out what he is exactly saying

[dax2172]

and the last one sounds to me like

can he walk and talk

if he moves will he fall

Mercy moves(or puts) him there

Iron man will soon be still

[dax2172]

i think- and ill say it again- i think at the first??? hes saying

Wouldnt you run away?

Iron man is here to stay

With a homesick grin

Iron man will soon begin

[oi565]

What he will soon unfurl I think it's unfold not unfurl

[willdewit1971]

@oi565 Sorry to tell you this, but it's unfurl, not unfold.

[MrWalup2000]

I love this song I actually practice it on my guitar

[MetalAndFuckingPunk]

black sabbath=god!!!

[mrdeersniper]

This is a pretty good show. I also have it.

[WhatFuckingUsernameI]

Allright, I'll settle the argument here. This concert was before Paranoid was released (September 1970) according to the official Black Sabbath Site. So they were obviously still working things out here. For instance heavier drums at the beginning.

[Hellsgazellesrocks]

i think it sounds like children stare

[Nered88]

why is he Iron Man if he's made of steel

[NLRuudS]

@Nered88 Turned to steel, he started out all Iron :P

[megadethmetallica91]

at the part were he says "we are losing" then ur not sure wat it is i think he says "we are losing faith" idk if im right or not though

[Django5198]

Is that Butler in the middle?

[Sabbathfan1996]

@Django5198 the order from left to right is Tony Iommi (guitar), Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Geezer Butler (bass guitar), Bill Ward (drums). Hope that answers your question.

[tatethompson1234]

I beleive it says " If he runs from lead,why wont you run too"

[mrdeersniper]

@tatethompson1234 If he runs from lead why don't you run with him too

[davidmumma66]

it seems like has he lost his mind, and iron man stares again

[cheesepuffMcGee]

hmm i know ive seen this picture before but ive never noticed that ozzy looks kinda like john travolta. anybody else seein this or am i goin insane?

[GrandPoobahChuckyB]

@cheesepuffMcGee i noticed that too lol

[imsloan]

This gig took place just days after the album Paraniod was finished..It could just be that Ozzy muffed the lyrics to a brand-new song..

[habsman102]

I'm pretty sure the last line is "Iron Man, should he stay?"

[vamvampypyrere]

Iron man choose your stand?

[mkffxf]

winnging it cool

[trow94]

YEEEEEAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[trow94]

NICE SOLO

[jasv49]

The way I heard it the last one goes: "Iron Man is sure to stay.". Can't be sure though, it's really very hard not to mishear it XD. Also, thanks for sharing something as rare as this.

[caiosnoopy123456789]

Cool I like Black Sabbatah

[jonasbrofan6198]

kool

[Gotrilliten]

i think it's "We are losing this"

[Entharion]

Listen to it and think "If I hold him there"

it also rhymes so that makes more sense.

[walkthrumasterx]

the last line was iron with his stare

[walkthrumasterx]

only if they knew at the time it would be one of there best hits

[MightySaturn5]

Poor Geezer, perhaps a few 4x12" cabs containing very loud Eminence Swamp Things driven with a nice bridged Carvin BX1200 with a Sansamp PSA 1.1 in the send/return might bring out the mids...I suppose the same Sansamp could also feed the low frequencies by feeding a parametric eq to filter out any mid/highs while boosting extreme lows and driving a nice Crest CA 18 amp which could drive two dual 18" cabs each loaded with (2) Eminence 18" magnums for extreme lows...maybe then we'd hear Geezer

[misfit496]

I really think Black Sabbath should have released an album of nothing but they're songs with the alternate lyrics before Geezer fixed them.. Would be nice to have.

[walkthrumasterx]

not alternate original

[veijo56]

BRAVO---5 stars--t.veijo.--finland.

[stormmariem]

i think it may be "grasp" at 2:03 but whatever...idk

Awesome nonetheless, thank you for posting!

[cheeseman1777]

omg...what was he on? lol i lobe sabbath. them and judas priest defind heavy metal as it is today

the original lyrics to war pigs...fuck BRUTAL. and the first song on their self titled album, black sabbath...that song is some serious black doom metal. for those who haven't heard it, look up black sabbath black sabbath. just like that. seriously. fucking brutal

[s7o0a0p]

yeah! the original war pigs lyrics were AMAZING!

[Ulai777]

I suppose you could have deleted Kingdrag0n23's spam mail, might have been a sensible thing to do, while I am at it I will remove my comment, seeing as I can at least do that!

[blacksabfan]

And even more sensible thing would of been to not respond to it...

I have 320+ videos. I don't look at every single one daily and moderate the spam/stupid comments/chainmail BS. Hell, I didn't even get the chance to delete it before you had already commented...so don't blame me for mocking your stupidity. It's sort of like you coming into my yard and sticking your head into a beehive and then saying it's my fault because I didn't remove the behive before you came over. Same concept.

[Ekcyboo]

@blacksabfan You really shouldn't have beehives in your yard, people could accidentaly stick their heads in them...

[firemblem01]

2:03 he says "we are losing led" like bullets

[TheMaggot81]

OMG sounds so extremly great, nice :D

[Hunhead]

Dikk mán egy féjmember, fogjuk meg a méhjbe vigyük el, A góóré majd átveszi, egy kalapáccsal majd jól szétveri.

[rolltidewcb]

This is my favorite song!!

[Skullit2theMax]

Every Band Has a Few Bad Lyrics

Either Way  AND I WILL FIST FIGHT YOU OVER IT

Black Sabbath Created Heavy Metal

[Motty551]

Someone who knows his music i like you sir

[knoxarama]

finally someone gets it. kudos.

[Hakugirl1]

hey you didn't put all the lyrics but that is OK

[blacksabfan]

I know. I left parts blank because I couldn't make out what was being said.

[SpyroSan]

xD nice excuse =P

[blacksabfan]

Well I'd rather leave it blank then have it wrong and have 320943 people copy it and claim it's right because of what I put down.

Offer still stands.

[SpyroSan]

Yeah, it's better =P

[rsmoneymyke]

at 1:23 i think he says "why do you run as slow"

[1223339]

Ozzy Osbourne is not the prince of darkness or the king of darkness;

OZZY IS THE DARKNESS!!!!!!!

[DOMESTICSKATETEAM]

fuck ya black sab is a badass band

[prussia5]

FUCK YOU MAN!

[biggie2pac4life]

everyone knows what the fucks up when this song comes on

[Wiichamp5]

lol

[Braden31396]

great lyric where did u get em

[GBNotify]

dood this is awsome i love these lyrics much better then the original. what website did u get them from?

[UncleJimmema]

Good post. To bad guitar hero noobs are going to search this up, ask stupid questions, and ruin its awesomeness.

Blacksabfan,where can I find the bootleg for "Asbury park 75'" which was almost made into a live album? 3 of the songs were put onto past lives.

[snakeeyes119]

i like this version better but really i prefer no lyrics to this song

[sonicismybrawler]

ur version of the son here an the lyrics are not in tune, to dif sets dood

[blacksabfan]

Well then stop bitching and improve upon them. These aren't mine, they came off a website and I already know there are some obvious differences between what Ozzy says, and what is written. I just don't have the time to mess around and figure them out. So stop being an ungrateful little prick and deal with it.

[zworm71]

wich of them is ozzy??xD

[flatlifeline]

the one on the bottom

[RebelsKill95]

Man ozzie looks so different.

[mrpuffycoat]

i am iron man killing everybody with a baseball bat

[monteman87]

i've been hoping to come across iron man with this set of lyrics. thank you so much for sharing it with us. rock on

[Guitargod18]

KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tmdkshaft]

Can you post the alt lyrics? sorry they're a little hard to understand.

Great song though; how'd you find it?

[blacksabfan]

Overseas Sabbath collectors hooked me up. A lot of the stuff can be found (although some with quite a bit of patience and sleuthing) with a program called Soulseek. It's basically a p2p sharing thing but with forums and the ability to talk to users, and has tons of users from Europe, S. America, and the Middle East. It's not popular in America at all. It's also very rock/metal/alternative music oriented. It makes Limewire look like a total piece of shit (and it is.)

[blacksabfan]

I also put up lyrics in the Description section. I found them online, however, as I'm listing to it, I have my doubts about some of the verses. If anyone wants to try to listen for themselves and suggest improvements, I'll be more than happy to update it. It's a good starting point if nothing else.

[tmdkshaft]

Thanks, now I feel like a fool for not noticing that before :P

[tim0sp]

Nice man,

thanx for posting :D

[AmbientGuitarSounds]

Nice audio clip!

Check out my sabbath covers. :)
