Miracle man
OzzY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm looking for a miracle man that tells me no lies
I'm looking for a miracle man who's not in disguise

I don't know where he'll come from and I don't know where he's been
But he's not our Jimmy sinner because he's so obscene

Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted
Today i saw a miracle man, on TV cryin'
Such a hypocritical man, born again, dying

He don't know where he's goin' but we know where he's been
It was out little Jimmy sinner
Our eyes are on the screen

Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle
man got busted, miracle man

A devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher
Now Jimmy, he got busted with his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinners, self righteous clown

Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle




man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle man got
busted, miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted

He wants a figure who has not been hypocritical or deceptive in their teachings. He sings about a man who was caught in a scandal and implies that this person is not the one he is searching for. The lyrics mention seeing a miracle man on TV crying, but despite any emotional display, Ozzy suggests that this person is still not to be trusted.

I would say,your comment is really Homer. We are talking about early 2000,not 2010. That show was trash but Ozzy has never been a Lord of Royal Family. And that type of trash is nothing towards what today is! That time,Internet wasn't like today and not everyone had a computer at home.
I discovered him from the mtv spot and then I searched his music.
Spent my whole teenagers time and still do just loving him and enjoying his music! Not to mention all musicians worked with him and even the Black Sabbath years. Randy Rhoads,Castillo and ect.

I love him and I thank God, I know my music idol at 13 years old,able to feel light and also like "breaking all the rules" of my years,my family and the whole fucking world.
Long life to the Prince of Darkness!




I need to chill out now.

Paul Cashmere: So Bob, which songs did you write the lyrics for?

Bob Daisley: Pretty much all of them really from the Blizzard of Oz album (the very first one), Diary of a Madman, Bark At The Moon, The Ultimate Sin, No Rest for the Wicked and the last album I played on was No More Tears but I didn't write anything on that.

PC: That body of work has a fair chunk of OZZY signature tunes.

BD: OZZY is actually quoted in interviews of saying "when I wrote this" and "when I wrote that" and "what I meant here" but he didn't write of the lyrics, so it is a bit of a blatant inaccuracy for him to say that.

PC: How come you weren't originally credited?

BD: When the songs were written we just put the songs down to not to specifics as to who had done what. Most of the vocal melodies are OZZY's, although some of the vocal melodies on Diary of a Madman were Lee Kerslake, the drummer. Randy Rhoads was the riff merchant who came up with the basic riffs, although having said that, Randy and I worked on the musical side of it together to create the finished song. A lot of the music is mine as well. All the lyrics are mine. OZZY had a couple of ideas, like for a song title or he'd say "I want this song about this" or whatever but a lot of the songs are completely mine including title and what the song is about, the storyline or whatever.

The pure joy in Ozzy's face makes it even better

@johnscales9080

I think this song is Ozzy's favorite and best song .The glee of seeing a chief Ozzy hater caught by his own hypocrisy justifiably warrants a great song from the heart.
