Black Sabbath is a seminal British hard rock/heavy metal band, originally comprising John "Ozzy" Osbourne (vocals), Frank Anthony Iommi (guitar), Terence "Geezer" Butler (bass), and Bill Ward (drums). They are cited by many as having helped pioneer the Heavy Metal genre in the early 1970s. Black Sabbath formed in Birmingham, England in 1968 under the name Polka Tulk Blues Band (soon shortened to "Polka Tulk"), and later Earth. Initially a blues-rock band, Earth moved in a darker direction when their bassist, Geezer Butler, a fan of the black magic novels of Dennis Wheatley, wrote an occult-themed song titled "Black Sabbath" (the song name was apparently inspired by a 1963 Mario Bava film). (In their reunion concert film, the band stated that the song is based on an experience Geezer had one night when he saw a black object at the end of his bed and noticed the next day that an occult book Ozzy had given him was missing).

Can’t Get Close Enough Lyrics
Black Sabbath
How many tears must we cry before learning,
Things that we have theyre for real and were losing,
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
Why do you believe that weve got something coming,
You took it all, left me standing here with nothing,
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away,
Too far away.
In your world you must be dreaming, if you think you can survive,
Taking all and giving nothing thats a crime.
What makes you something special, what about me, Im here too,
You dont care what Im feeling and thats the truth.
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
All I need is understanding and the right to survive,
Only you could see the warnings, and pass them by.
What makes you something special, what about me, Im here too,
You dont care what Im feeling and thats the truth.
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
Too far away.
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
How many tears must we cry before learning,
Things that we had theyre for real and were losing,
Cant get close enough to you, cause youre just too far away.
Too far away, too far away, too far away.
