    “I’m a fountain of blood

    Chopping off my stopping thought
    Self doubt and selfism
    Were the cheapest things I ever bought …”

    Antigee ..

    I would have gone for this one 🙂
    Stab a sorry heart
    With your favourite finger
    Paint the whole world blue
    And stop your tears from stinging
    Hear the cavemen singing
    Good news they’re bringing

    Finished with my woman ’cause she couldn’t help me with my mind.

    That’s a good call. Continuing the Sabbath theme, ‘wheels of confusion’ is up there with

    ‘long ago I wandered through my mind’

    A good opening lyric isn’t just good in isolation, it lets you know exactly what the script is. Which in the case of the above is ‘Sabbath are taking WAY too much coke, this is going to get messy’. Which it did.

    A spider wonders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow,
    Not the regal creature of border caves!
    But, the poor misguided directionless familiar of some obscure scottish poet!

    Yeah but what a mess! Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener is off the scale brilliant isn’t it?

    I’ve got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
    It’s got a basket, a bell that rings and
    Things to make it look good.

    Everyone in Nacogdoches just knew Tom Ames
    would come to some bad end
    Well the sheriff had caught him stealing chickens and such
    by the time that he was ten

    Well one day his daddy took a ten dollar bill
    and he tucked in his hand
    He said “I can tell you’re headed for trouble son
    and your momma wouldn’t understand”

    Well he took the money and his brother’s old bay
    and left without a word of thanks.
    He fell in with a crowd in some border town
    and took to robbing banks.

    Might be pushing ‘opening lyric’, but it’s ace nonetheless

    The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in ’68
    And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
    Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark café

    Joan of Arc had a dildo named Jesus
    Made of wood from the cross of its namesake
    She considered the splinters atonement
    And when she came it would fill her with light!

    Ever seen a blind man cross the road
    Trying to make the other side?
    Ever seen a young girl growing old
    Trying to make herself a bride?

    He was just a social drinker but social every night
    He enjoyed a pint or two or three or four
    She was just a silent thinker, silent every night
    He’d enjoy the thought of killing her before

    He had a sinister face and a sinister plan
    Although he was sinister, it must be said
