No More Tears
Ozzy Osbourne
℗ 1991 Epic Records ZK 46795 / © Sony Music Entertainment
Having been cleared earlier in the year in another lawsuit concerning the supposedly suicide-inducing subject matter of his music, Ozzy Osbourne reinvigorated his sound and expanded his following with his sixth studio album, No More Tears, in the fall of 1991. Finding more sympathetic producers in Duane Baron and John Purdell to replace Roy Thomas Baker (who had helmed his last effort, 1988's No Rest for the Wicked), collaborating with Lemmy Kilmister of Motцrhead on four songs, and retaining the services of guitarist Zakk Wylde, Osbourne brought his music into the 1990s. Songs like "Desire" and "S.I.N." had an energetic, contemporary metal sound, and Osbourne effectively changed gears to turn out gentle ballads like "Mama, I'm Coming Home," which gave him his first U.S. Top 40 hit on his own. Not cowed by his court cases, he wrote songs about child abuse ("Mr. Tinkertrain") and serial murder ("No More Tears") from the point of view of the criminals. But he also considered his own place in the general scheme of things in the tribute to the rock & roll lifestyle "Hellraiser" and the reflective "Road to Nowhere." It all made for an unusually broad range of material, and the album returned him to the Top Ten and multi-platinum status. — William Ruhlmann. |

No More Tears
(Osbourne — Wylde — Castillo — Inez — Purdell)
The light in the window is a crack in the sky A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back The man in the dark will bring another attack Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers Look in the mirror tell me do you think your life's in danger here ya No more tears Another day passes as the night closes in The red light goes on to say it's time to begin I see the man around the corner waiting, does he see me? I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound someone screaming here No more tears So now that it's over can't we just say good-bye? I'd like to move on and make the most of the night Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way Your lips are so cold I don't know what else to say I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here No more tears
S.I.N.
(Osbourne — Wylde — Castillo)
A psycho driver twisted in my head Silence broken, but there's nothing said I got a nightmare from a fantasy Will the voices ever set me free I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em Someone wake me when it's over I can see 'em, I can see 'em I can see 'em over and over again I saw it happening like deja vu They tried to tell me, but they couldn't get through In my head I hear the voices scream I need someone to tell me what it means I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em Someone wake me when it's over I can see 'em, I can see 'em I can see 'em over and over again Whoa - Who turned off the lights? Whoa - A shadow in the night Whoa - It wasn't mean to be I can't take this alone Don't leave me at my own tonight Oh no I can't take it alone Don't leave me at my own tonight Shattered dreams lay next to broken glass I wonder if tonight will be my last I need an angel who can rescue me To save me from my mental symphony I can hear 'em, I can hear 'em Someone wake me when it's over I can see 'em, I can see 'em I can see 'em over and over again Whoa - Who turned off the lights? Whoa - A shadow in the night Whoa - It wasn't mean to be I can't take this alone Don't leave me at my own tonight Oh no I can't take it alone Don't leave me at my own tonight
Hellraiser
(Osbourne — Wylde — Kilmister)
I'm living on an endless road Around the world for rock and roll Sometimes it feels so tough But I still ain't had enough I keep saying that it's getting too much But I know I'm a liar Feeling all right in the noise and the light But that's what lights my life Walking out on another stage Another town, another place Sometimes I don't feel right Nerves wound up too damn tight People keep telling me it's bad for my health But kicking back don't make it Out of control, I played the ultimate role But that's what lights my life Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat Hellraiser, rock you back in you seat Hellraiser and I'll make it come true Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you I'm living on an endless road Around the world for rock and roll Sometimes it feels so tough But I still ain't had enough Feeling all right in the noise and the light But that's what lights my life Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat Hellraiser, rock you back in you seat Hellraiser, and I'll make it come true Hellraiser, I'll put a spell on you
Time After Time
(Osbourne — Wylde)
Time after time I guess that love is blind I couldn't read your mind Line after line Line after line It was written in your eyes I guess it's no surprise Time after time I can hear them whispering Shadows in the rain Thinking how it might have been Time after time Line after line you broke me Day after day I watched love fade away I wanted love to stay Day after day The games we play The foolish things we say The pain won't go back Day after day Candlelight is shimmering Shadows on the wall Thinking how it might have bee Day after day The games we play you broke him Candlelight is shimmering Shadows on the wall Thinking how it might have bee Time after time Line after line you broke me Time after time Line after line you broke me
Zombie Stomp
(Osbourne — Wylde — Castillo)
I don't need no doctor But I need something to kill the pain Don't know what I'm after But the pressure's driving me insane Searching for a different light Had a funny feeling I can't hide Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Why can't they just let me be Alone without the misery Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie, Zombie Stomp Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Flirting with disaster Morning after killing me again Hiding from the laughter And the demons dancing round my brain Always dancing in the ice I guess I'll have to pay the price Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Thinkin' how it could have been If I had never let them in Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie, Zombie Stomp Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp Hey, Hey, Do The Zombie Stomp
A.V.H.
(Osbourne — Wylde — Castillo)
I was looking back on my life And all the things I've done to me I'm still looking for the answers I'm still searching for the key The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me It just won't leave me alone I still find it all a mystery Could it be a dream? The Road to Nowhere leads to me Through all the happiness and sorrow I guess I'd do it all again Live for today and not tomorrow It's still the road that never ends The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me It just won't leave me alone I still find it all a mystery Could it be a dream? The Road to Nowhere leads to me Ah Ah The Road to Nowhere' gonna pass me by Ah Ah I hope we never have to say goodbye I never want to live without you The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me It just won't leave me alone I still find it all a mystery Could it be a dream? The Road to Nowhere leads to me The Road to Nowhere leads to me…
