The ballad of Richard Iommi
CHORUS:
He believed, he believed, he believed he was the son of Tony
He changed his name, he changed his name, he changed his name to Iommi
One day Richard and his best friend were down in the basement.
Richard was cutting pictures of Tony Iommi out of old Creem magazines
and pasting them in a huge collage on his wall. His friend was
playing with the tuner on Richard's stereo when suddenly they
both heard something that would change their lives. Lee Aaron
was coming to their town. For those of you who don't know, Lee
Aaron is the very talented and lovely Canadian rock singer who's
also known as the Metal Queen. Richard and his friend loved Lee
Aaron second only to Tony Iommi. Richard knew he had to somehow
meet Lee Aaron and tell her the secret of his lineage.
He believed, he believed, he believed he was the son of Tony
He went to see, he went to see, he went to see the Metal Queen
On the day of the show, Richard was so excited he could barely
move. In the afternoon he went down to the concert hall early
in hopes of catching a glimpse of her. Suddenly, there she was.
Everything in the world faded away, and before he knew it he
was telling her about the double-neck guitar, the 72-piece drum
kit, and why he changed his name. The Metal Queen listened, and
in a single sentence brought his entire world crashing down!
"Like, why don't you sell that shit and get a life?"
He believed, he believed, he believed he was the son of Tony
A balada de Richard Iommi
REFRÃO:
Ele acreditou, ele acreditou, ele acreditou que era filho do Tony
Ele mudou seu nome, ele mudou seu nome, ele mudou seu nome para Iommi
Um dia, Richard e seu melhor amigo estavam no porão.
Richard estava recortando fotos do Tony Iommi de antigas revistas Creem
e colando elas em um enorme colagem na parede. Seu amigo estava
brincando com o sintonizador do stereo do Richard quando, de repente, eles
ouviram algo que mudaria suas vidas. Lee Aaron
estava vindo para a cidade deles. Para quem não sabe, Lee
Aaron é a talentosa e linda cantora de rock canadense que também é
conhecida como a Rainha do Metal. Richard e seu amigo amavam Lee
Aaron, só perdendo para Tony Iommi. Richard sabia que tinha que
encontrar Lee Aaron e contar a ela o segredo de sua linhagem.
Ele acreditou, ele acreditou, ele acreditou que era filho do Tony
Ele foi ver, ele foi ver, ele foi ver a Rainha do Metal
No dia do show, Richard estava tão empolgado que mal conseguia
se mover. À tarde, ele desceu para o salão de concertos mais cedo
na esperança de conseguir ver um pedaço dela. De repente, lá estava ela.
Tudo no mundo desapareceu, e antes que ele percebesse, ele
estava contando a ela sobre a guitarra de dois braços, a bateria de 72 peças,
e porque ele mudou seu nome. A Rainha do Metal ouviu,
e em uma única frase, fez seu mundo desmoronar!
"Tipo, por que você não vende essa porra e arruma uma vida?"
Ele acreditou, ele acreditou, ele acreditou que era filho do Tony
