I was just laying in the bath & they played that song, ooh baby do you know what that’s worth, we’ll make heaven a place on earth, and it reminded me of this time about 30+ years ago when I was out on the town with my mate & a pair of girls from Australia, they came over to visit my mate, who had been over there & met them in Sydney or whatever, so anyhow, they didn’t just come to visit him, lots of ozzys used to come over for the crack, still do i expect, so they were in London but came to visit our town & stayed at my mates house for a week or so, I thought he was in there, cos she was quite good looking, but when I pressed him he said he wasn’t interested, which I thought was a bit batty, so anyhow, we were out in town, tried to get into a couple of clubs but as usual they said no cos we weren’t really club people, more pub types, they could spot us a mile off, only time we ever went clubbing was to drink later, pubs used to close at 11pm, but clubs could keep going till about 2am, which was great for getting rat arsed, (if you could stand the awful racket) – so we ran out of options and ended up taking them to the worst dive in town, Phase 3, it was licensed late and at least the music could be a bit better, down side is its painted black inside, sort of place you wind up covered in beer & vomit & have to fight half the punters just to get out. 

I remember one time we got allowed into the posh club, what a mistake that was, (for them) I remember staggering down this carpet stairway and seeing some old friends from school, I was all over the place, they must have thought how sad? Look what happened to him in just a few short years? But when you’re out clubbing, you don’t want to meet a wife do you? You want to just get totally hammered, probably end up projectile vomiting over some people more like, its fun to get utterly bladdered and wasted, its a case of vomit on someone, or be vomited on by someone else!

So anyhow, they put that song on & the pretty Ozzy  said to me, “ridiculous, how can heaven be a place on earth?” My guess is she thought I was against everything, so it was an effort at communication on my level – sadly I didn’t have an answer for her, I think she’d been raised catholic, which I’m not really familiar with, I supposed I’d have to look that up,  some sort of philosophical or metaphysical question of faith I suppose it would take me a few years study to resolve at that point. Ask me if we’re really on a highway to hell, that would be an easier one to answer, perhaps we are already in hell non? I mean, start asking from the lower / darker end of the spectrum and I could perhaps have answered in the affirmative / negative?
