Sabbra Cadabra

its a love song. the lyrics are self explanitory

hmm seems abit creepy towards the end... kinda obsessive... i can see what ferkung means about it gettin kinda dark...

I have to say i prefer the sabbath version but the metallica version does it justice i think, i like the way they throw national acrobat in there.

Ummmm, to be honest, now that I read the lyrics, the end to me seems like it's about a man stalking a woman and fantasizing about her, and when he comes to meet her, she freaks out, then he rapes and kills her.

...continued

hi friends, and now the apocalypsis the obvious apocalypsis. magic...sabra catabra...and love is on the air!

you think that sabbath is so dark metal group that they never will'be writting a love song like this? that is a hymn of love, the hymn of making love! What? a dark music group talking about love? yes my friends, love is the key! You have to connect what i mean by reading other posts 'see national acrobat, dirty woman etc'.

Keep in mind that Geezer says a story!

Inside an album with this mystic title and terrible cover...love is the message. Thats true and dont eat the food of any type of priest. If you see the cover will will find how the message connected with Geezer's story.

Our subject is the man (we are mens) and we need love but...we dying like the the man at the cover, surrounding by superstitions, priests, symbols, womens (key).

The woman is a basic element for any man. man without love (not without woman) produce slaves giving food to a system including priests and polititians.

The system uses men's need for love (real love), to make man slave.

Inside SBS Lp this hymn of love is before the lyrics of 'Killing yourself to live'. Killing your self to leave is the system's basic mechanism-factory to produce slaves. But ...guess...also is the main procedure to kill love inside a couple.

men without love is a slave. he is slave to himself, his family , his national system...

Briliant Geezer...tell the story!

Seriously? No comments?? The meaning of this song is obvious, so I won't touch on that, but this is my favorite Sabbath song of all time. This song strikes a chord with me and reminds me of the woman, who I'm currently separated from, but still love and miss. It's out of character for Sabbath to make a song of this nature.....love....but it is great and very catchy too. I am curious as to whether this was written for Ozzy's wife Sharon or someone else. I would DIE to hear Chris Cornell of Soundgarden/Audioslave do a cover of this one!!!

It could be a love song, but a love song seems kind of out of place in Sabbath repertoire. Most of their songs deal with the negative aspects of humanity, evil, or drugs. However, on SBS they seem to change the subject of their lyrics to more positive thinking (A National Acrobat, Spiral Architect)

I like Sabbath's and Metallica version. I just love this song!

Metallica raped this song. a bit inappropriate, it being a love song and all...

I kinda see where Kaji13 is coming from with the stalker and rape thing but what about the lyrics Feel so happy since I met that girl, When we're making love it's something out of this world"? Other than that I think that we can all agree that this is about how love and sexual feelings can affect someone.

It seems simple at first this song, but there's probably more to it. I think it was also around this time Ozzy started an affair with Sharon Levy. She was only about 17 at the time. I wonder if it is about her.

Abracadabra is a Hebrew mismash of words--Sharon was Jewish--her father was managing the band.

Who knows?
