Live At Last

Let them have their little toys
Matchbox cars and mortage joys
Exciting in their plastic ways
Frozen food in a concrete maze

Cornucopia (Originally on Vol. 4)

I stole the Live at Last LP from my best friend, who stole it from his uncle’s collection. The album was a high-quality bootleg of Ozzy-era live Sabbath shows. The material was probably recorded between the Vol. 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath albums, I could tell because some of the lyrics on the newer songs were unfinished. I listened to this album constantly. I wanted to be Ozzy. The music was so heavy and the lyrics (by Geezer Butler) spoke of the nightmare realities that plagued the modern world. Just the thing for a twenty-something with no real hopes and dreams for the future.
