![]() If you think this song is about skinheads, you're quite obviously retarded. Listen to the lyrics, "Smoking and tripping is all that you do." How can you say that the song is not about an acid trip? Seriously. Marissa from Akron, OhPardon my nerdiness but in the role-playing game Wizard 101 that my little brother plays, one of the missions you have to complete is called Fairies Wear Boots.Johua from Sydney, Australiai alway thought that this song was about ozzy having another acid trip and decribing wat he had seen.and another thing, who is the dewarf?"Fairy boots were dancing' with a dwarf".I used to play it in my car and turn up the volume. Digby from Tauranga, New ZealandI don't know where the song came from, but it was one of my favourite songs in those days.Louis, MoOzzy Osbourne said in his autobiography that "people have told him what that song is about, but he still doesn't know." David from Buenos Aires, Argentinaozzy had the skinheads bad moment so when he was tripping he had the bad trip of the fairies with skinhead boots.Tony and Ozzy get most of the attention, but Ward and Butler were just as important to this group. Andy from Las Vegas, NvOne overlooked element to this song is Ward's jazz-style drumming.Ozzy couldn't think of of any other lyrics except that "Fairies Wear boots" so the song than evolved into a song about tripping. Geezer said they wanted to write a song about how skinheads who wear combat boots were assholes. David from Philly, PaAll are wrong on.On VH1 Classic Album: Black Sabbath: Paranoid - Geezer and Ozzy explain it.Who cares what the lyrics mean! I doubt Ozzy or the band even have a clue.they might stir up the pot by saying "oh, Ozzy had a dream about fairies one night" or "skinheads drank all our booze" or whatever other s-t you f-kers make up! My point is, shut your pieholes and rock on! But she heard this song by Sabbath, and now her and I are going to the Sabbath concert in August 2013! She already loved Ozzy, Crazy Train is her favorite (not mine) - but the fact that this music still resonates 4 decades later is what's relevant.not whether Ozzy was high, or biting head off rats. It still f-king rocks, 40 years later! My daughter is only 13, when I played this song for her she was floored! She's a rocker, but like any 13 year old she also loves the current genre of pop music. do you really think they remember what they were thinking about when they wrote the song, or the lyrics, or whatever? We should all just be eternally grateful that the stars all aligned at the right time to produce this particular song. Who are all you that think you can analyze song lyrics and KNOW what the band was thinking when the wrote them. R0d0l from Branford, CtWho gives a s-t what it's about.in fact, most likely we'll never really know.Black Sabbath ROCKS and LIVES ON!! The real question I have for Sabbath fans: what is your fav album? So many to choose from, but Paranoid totally ROCKS my world! Ward on the drums, and Ozzy - well the vocals speak for themselves. Geezer without a doubt, played bass like no other. Mike from Carrollton, TxI think Henry Rollins said it best, on the VH1 Album Classic that was shown on 8/22/13 giving tribute to this album "You could play every song today, and it is as relevant today, as it was back then! Tony in my opinion, one of the best guitarist ever.Bill from TorontoBlackberry Smoke also covers this song.The lyrics clearly refer to marijuana useĬould it be as simple as that they were saying smoking weed is so powerful that it even empowers fairies to dress like bikers?ĭoesn't matter - love this song & album! Got the original vinyl LP. George from Vancouver, CanadaLet's look at the title they chose: Faires Wear Boots.įairies has long been a term for flitty homosexual men/boys.Tremelo from Usa, NjFaries Wear Boots is a line from "Anne of Greene Gables" Sabbath was well read I suppose.The song is definitely about drug hallucinations.Īlso there were no punks in England in 1970 and Skinheads were working class horrible bastards. Anton from EnglandI came across this song while I was researching fairies, believe me they do wear boots coz I've seen one. ![]()
