Bassist Bob Daisley recalls how he wrote Ozzy’s “Crazy
Train” lyrics
ByRafael PolcaroPublished on 08/31/2021SHARETWEET
Legendary bassist Bob Daisley (Rainbow, Ozzy) recalled
in an interview with Rolling Stone how he wrote the
lyrics from the classic Ozzy Osbourne song “Crazy
Train”. He recalled that he had to write the lyrics for
the band since Ozzy and Randy Rhoads weren’t lyricists.
Bassist Bob Daisley recalls how he wrote Ozzy’s “Crazy
Train” lyrics:
“Here I was, writing lyrics for the band. That’s
because Randy wasn’t a lyricist. Ozzy wasn’t a
lyricist. Geezer Butler used to write the lyrics in
Black Sabbath. And I actually said, “I want to keep the
band in self-sufficient mode. We don’t want to go
outside the band for someone to write lyrics. Look,
I’ll have to wear the lyricist hat.” And so I started
to write the lyrics to the songs.”
“The thing I had to think about was that I was writing
for the singer of Black Sabbath. I wasn’t going to
write corny love songs or cliché stuff of, “Don’t leave
me baby/I love you baby.” There’s nothing wrong with a
good love song, but not for an act like that. I wanted
to keep it away from the cliché things that were
predictable and make it a little more philosophical
with more of a message to it.”
He continued, saying:
“We’re talking 1979 when we came up with “Crazy Train.”
Randy had that riff and that effect on his guitar that
made it sort of sound like a chugging sound. I thought,
“That sounds like a train.” But it was kind of
psychedelic-sounding. I said, “A crazy train.” That’s
where that title came from. I just came up with it at
that point when Randy was getting his sound for it with
these pedals and things.”
“Ozzy was, in some ways, a bit like me in being
philosophical. He was a little bit worried about the
state of the world. There were always threats of World
War III, and the Cold War was raging between Russia and
America. I wanted to interpret some of that into the
song. The thing was, it was “Crazy Train” and it was
“Crazy, but that’s how it goes/Millions of people
living as foes.” Why? It’s all so foolish and silly
that that should be happening on a potential paradise
planet. It’s so unnecessary.”
