No More Tears

"No More Tears" is the fifth song on the 1991 Ozzy Osbourne heavy metal album No More Tears. With a running time of 7:23, it is the longest solo song that Osbourne has ever recorded on a studio album (as of 2007). It reached #10 on U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks and 71 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ozzy considers this song to be "a gift from God", as stated in his booklet that came with his Prince of Darkness 4-Disk set. Guitar solo was ranked 61. on Guitar World's "100 Greatest Guitar Solos" Two music videos were made for the song: one featured a shorter edit of the song, while the other had the full album version. The longer version has the same footage as the shorter version, but with nearly one-and-a-half minutes added to fit the song length. The song was redone by guitarist Zakk Wylde as a bonus track on the second reissue of the Black Label Society album Sonic Brew as well as on its own promotional E.P. called the No More Tears Sampler. A shorter edited version of this song can be heard on The Ozzman Cometh Ozzy Osbourne compilation 2-disc. This song also is played in the Adam Sandler movie "Little Nicky". In the epic final battle scene where Ozzy appears, "No More Tears" can be heard being played in the background. In the 2002 remaster booklet for the No More Tears album, Osbourne stated that the song was about a serial killer. * 7" single, 1991, Epic/Sony. Additional track is "S.I.N."

[Verse 1] The light in the window is a crack in the sky A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back The man in the dark will bring another attack Your mama told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers Look in the mirror, tell me, do you think your life's in danger? Yeah [Chorus] No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) [Verse 2] Another day passes as the night closes in The red light goes on to say it's time to begin I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me? I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here [Chorus] No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) [Bridge] Going forward in reverse Still, these were our first It's just a hand in the bush A hand in the bush [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] So now that it's over can't we just say goodbye? I'd like to move on and make the most of the night Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way Your lips are so cold, I don't know what else to say I never wanted it to end this way, my love, my darling Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here [Chorus] No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) No more tears (Tears, tears) [Outro] It's just a hand in the bush (In the bush, in the bush, in the bush)
