Black Sabbath Fairies Wear Boots

The song Fairies Wear Boots came about when an incident occurred where Geezer and Ozzy were smoking cannabis and saw fairies in boots running around a park, but the most known story around the song was that Black Sabbath got attacked by skinheads (the skinheads being the fairies in the song), but it's been proven to not be true. The exact inspiration behind "Fairies Wear Boots" is unclear. In the 2010 documentary film Classic Albums: Black Sabbath's Paranoid, the band's bassist Geezer Butler states that Ozzy Osbourne composed the lyrics after a group of skinheads in London called him a "fairy" because of his long hair. However, Butler also stated Ozzy’s lyrics often went off on random tangents, and the second half of the song was about LSD. Osbourne, in the same documentary, said he wrote the lyrics about LSD. In 2010, Osbourne stated in his autobiography I Am Ozzy that he did not recall what the song was written about.

The song appeared on the heavy metal group's 1970 album Paranoid. Black Sabbath personnel are Ozzy Osbourne – vocals, Tony Iommi – guitars, Geezer Butler – bass, and Bill Ward – drums.
