[edit] Removed NPOV parts

I removed the following lines:

Many consider this song to be the best Ozzy song since Crazy Train. It was rated #10 on U.S. Mainstream Rock. Ozzy considers this song to be a gift from God. Mike Inez came up with the opening bass rift and it just took off from there.

As they appear to be very biased. However if you can cite credible sources, feel free to add them back in citing sources with <ref> tags. --Charlie(@CIRL | talk) 04:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


I removed reference to child porn/fisting. This would definitely need citation. The song was generally understood to be a farewell song at the time of it's release, the references to "I never wanted it to end this way my love, my darling" and observing a man in the crowd before the show "waiting does he see me?" and"the redlight goes on and it's time to begin" is a reference to going on stage. Ozzy may be nuts, but he's not a complete freak...

I've read that it can be interpreted as being seen through the eyes of a child kidnapper (a similar theme to Mr. Tinkertrain, and don't tell me *that* one isn't there), "it's just a hand in the bush" being a reference to the little girl (mentioned in the first verse) seeing the hand of the child kidnapper in the bushes through a window. This is just one interpretation, I guess, though, so. On a side note, what the hell are the rest of the lines in the middle of the song? All I can make out is "Going forwards in reverse. Still," and "It's just a hand in the bush." That's all I can make out, and there's no real lyrics for it. For some reason (perhaps something I've thought ever since I was a kid) I've always gotten an image of some kind of car wreck from that. Onslaught Six 09:02, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears.JPG

Image:Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
