 Carry me caravan take me away

Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain

Andalusia with fields full of grain

I have to see you again and again

Take me, Spanish caravan

Yes, I know you can

Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea

I know where treasure is waiting for me

Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain

I have to see you again and again

 "We couldn’t find Ozzy for a couple of days prior to the show. When he did show up the day of the show, he had shaved his head, and Sharon was freaking out. Sharon said, “Oh, my God, Ozzy, we gotta get you a wig.” So the wardrobe lady ended up going out and buying a couple of wigs for him. She cut them to look like his original hair. That show Ozzy put ketchup underneath the wig. He proceeded to rip the wig off real slowly on stage. The red ketchup started coming down his face and it looked like blood. Imagine 80,000 people in the audience with their mouths wide open, thinking that Ozzy is ripping off his scalp."

 Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”
