Tony Iommi & Glenn Hughes - Shaking My Wings

Performing a song from the bootleg "Eight Star". Sorry for the quality,

Lyrics

Flying so high, trying to remember
how many cigarettes did I bring along?
When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab
driving through London town
to cry you a song.

It's been a long time --
still shaking my wings.
Well, I'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring.

Closing my dream inside its paper-bag.
Thought I saw angels
but I could have been wrong.
Search in my case,
can't find what they're looking for.
Waving me through
to cry you a song.

It's been a long time --
still shaking my wings.
Well I'm a glad bird
I got changes to ring.

Lights in the street,
peeping through curtains drawn.
Rattling of safety chain taking too long.
The smile in your eyes was never so sweet before --
Came down from the skies
to cry you a song....

Shakin' My Wings" doesn't actually have Tony Iommi on it. Glenn Hughes is on it, but Iommi isn't. - Black-sabbath . com

still amazing song, though

@MattSVK1

You're right. But I sincerely don't know why it surface as Black Sabbath. But I've found it on a Eight Star Bootleg.

Glenn Hughes: Lead Vocals

Mick Abrahams: Guitar

Clive Bunker: Drums

Glenn Cornick: Bass

Derek Sherinian: Keyboards

Robert Berry: Keyboards

I heard about the performers.

Thanks, I was going to say I've heard 100% of all that Iommi/Hughes put out. But before I heard this, apparently it was only 99.

Strange lyrics, though. Nothing like what they usually revolve around...

[antifloyd4ever]

sorry but I figured out that the only song in this bootleg that isn't played by Tony is that! "Shaking My Wings" it's a Jethro Tull cover! Is called "To Cry You A Song"

[mrspringheeledjack1]

This was on the Jethro Tull tribute album. I heard it about 13 years ago. I'm both a Sabbath & Tull fan & the fact is that on Jethro Tull's "Stand Up" album, Tony wrote the riff to "Nothing Is easy". It's serious old school & you can hear Tony's signature all over the tune.

Who is on Keyboard heavy organ?

[MattSVK1]

actually,i wonder who played guitar then and why it's on eight star album?
