Geezer later actually resented when Ozzy stopped doing that and left it for him to do solo

From that Paranoid document you got the picture Ozzy wasn´t then very capable at all in lyrics...of course there had to be working together with phrasing, I think Ozzy just couldn´t straight sing everything Geezer wrote...but of course I wasn´t there seeing what they were doing. The idea of Fairies wear boots came to Ozzy. If I remember right, it was one of Ozzy´s nightmares.
