Black Sabbath - Evil Eye Lyrics






Something about the way that you look on me,
You watch every move, every word, every fantasy,
Got no time for love, there's something on your mind,
Got the face of an angel but the stare of a devil inside.

[CHORUS:]
Got hell looking up, heaven looking down,
People say the woman's got an evil eye.
Got hell looking up, heaven looking down,
Free me from the woman with the evil eye.

I turn away but still I see that evil stare,
Trapped inside my dreams I know you're there.
Thoughts of happiness you destroyed them all,
First inside my head, then inside my soul.

[CHORUS:]
Got hell looking up, heaven looking down,
People say the woman's got an evil eye.
Got hell looking up, heaven looking down,
Free me from the woman with the evil eye.

    If the Other Martin albums were like this one I would have liked them. This is a masterpiece. Nothing like the other Martin years albums. I wonder what made them improve so much.

  2. B.... V....

    If that's EVH I'll eat my shoes

  3. M.... B....

    The Italian Hand of Doom.......Siñore I señora......el Dios de la guitarra eléctrica y el metal pesado.

  10. L.... L....

  11. D.... T....

    I can't wait to see humanity burn.

  12. R.... B....

    everyone excited with tge solo at the beginning, personally i think the other 2 solos ate better

  13. C.... J....

    Geezer rules the world!

  14. V.... P....

    Great album / simply Fantástic 🎼🎵🎸😎👊

  15. T.... H....

    What a fantastic guitar riff

  16. l.... s....

    is it only me but are the guitar parts very simular to sabbath bloody sabbath

    l.... s....

    I think it's more simular to "A National Acrobat"

  17. O.... N....

    Miss those days when I use to listen to Black Sabbath songs with my frens

  18. L.... L....

    partially taken from the national acrobat riff

  19. R.... B....

    Tony Iommi should teach to black metal bands how to make an Evil Riff.

  20. T.... ....

    Sure sounds like Eddie on the opening and main solo.

    T.... ....

    That's bc it is.

  21. M.... B....

    Gizzerrrrrr.......🤘😠🤘😠

  22. M.... B....

    And the Iommic continuity kept the name .... Black Sabbath alive.

  23. j.... ....

    Definitely sounds like Eddie soloing in Tony's style.

  24. D.... A....

    ¡Qué riff tan triple hijueputa!

  25. M.... M....

    Qué dupla hacen Iommy y Eddie Van Halen!!!!!

  26. c.... ....

    From Iommi's book Iron Man, it seems that Eddie did not write this song OR perform on it, VH were performing in Birmingham at the time Sabbath were rehearsing songs for Cross Purposes and Eddie wanted to come and jam. Tony picked him up, and they got Eddie one of his EBMM guitars at a local shop, they were rehearsing the song Evil Eye that day and Tony said they had a great time and Eddie played a great solo on it, but unfortunately they weren't recording the jam so it was lost.

  27. d.... ....

    So Fucking underrated, it's a sin!

  28. J.... ....

    Eddie Van Halen co-wrote this song. He mainly composed the solo and the first riff.

    J.... ....

    Co-writted? Lol

    J.... ....

    @Carl Friesen Yeah, i fixed it. My english used to be really bad at that time lmfao. Compared to now.

  29. D.... A....

    accept?

  30. S.... Q....

    Its sad how good music was ! now it's 2017 and the music is basically fucked up

  31. I.... B....

    Like #666!

  32. D.... T....

    This is the perfect song to follow Heaven and Hell, in other words, this song is a mother f ....r!

  33. R.... D....

    Eddie and Tony Bliss

  34. B.... C....

    Excellent intro! This pulses, when I run it through the lounge room bins.

  35. H.... C....

    Now this is an EYE I've had to wear this last 2 weeks. Hope, (know they have) seen me new fashion to point out my thoughts towards them!

  36. A.... S....

    Great Song... Geezer Rocks!!

  37. D.... P....

    THE most ball-tearingest intro I ever heard! Huzzaaahhhhh!

  38. S.... N....

    Immenso!

  39. B.... ....

    This should've been a Tony Iommi solo project, not Black Sabbath. As a whole, this is better than Seventh Sign, The Eternal Idol & Forbidden mostly because of better production & Bobby Rondinelli. Geezer sounds good on some of this & Iommi is Iommi, but imo, this just doesn't do it for me as Black Sabbath. I prefer Headless Cross & Tyr to this, but even those two are more Iommi solo albums rather than Black Sabbath imo. Most of the Tony Martin era stuff is pretty much hard rock with a metal edge to some songs. I prefer metal sounding Sabbath, so l'll take any Ozzy/Dio era Sabbath over any of Tony's hard rock solo records.

    B.... ....

    Don't listen to it then dude,...... nobody's forcing you,... just go back to your Ozzy and let those that appreciate great music listen to it in in peace,..... well not peace exactly, but Heavy Metal Heaven,..... ROCK ON!!

    B.... ....

    I don't listen to it, & I don't care if I ever hear this album again, no big loss for me. As for this song, I've already heard this riff done better & with a better solo too, on 'Zero The Hero.' If you enjoy this, good for you.

    B.... ....

    No Sweat Dude,..... personally I think Ozzys a whining tinny voiced little prick so I don't listen to his crap, but that's just my opinion,...... in the end it don't matter, its just a matter of choice,... the important thing is,..... we both love Metal, so yeh, ROCK ON!!.

  40. R.... L....

    A única não-comercial deles (com tony martin)

  41. e.... ....

    grrrrr....

  42. D.... P....

    Sexy Metal.

  43. T.... U....

    this is officially my favorite sabbath song

    T.... U....

    Ever heard Iron Man?

    T.... U....

    +ChaRudatTa MuNdE yes i have but imo i like this song more

    T.... U....

    Thrill Of It All (Y)

    T.... U....

    A perfect song to follow Heaven and Hell.

    T.... U....

    fucking badass song

  44. J.... ....

    Very cool song, I like it. Especially that groovy bit with just the bass and the drums.

  45. H.... ....

    #BlackSabbath   RIFF MASTER  #TonyIommi  
    #HeavyMetalHitman     face book

  46. n.... ....

    My dad had all the albums on cassettes of a lot of metal bands from iron maiden,Metallica, black sabbath, dio, overkill, megadeth, slayer, and Ozzy Osbourne. When i was young i used to go look at the cassettes and try to play them on the old tape player. It usually worked although nowadays i have them on Mobile i sometimes go and listen to them like retro style. You rarely find 16 yr olds that can work an old tape player sometimes i think that the newer generations are born less intelligent...

    n.... ....

    @nick10162 I'm 16 years old, and I own a tape player and a few cassettes. ;)

    n.... ....

    @Julien McLane nice work, kid ;)

    n.... ....

    +nick10162 Yeah, most of them are stupid assholes who worship Justin Beiber.

  47. L.... R....

    Masterpiece of Metal. Those who've complained and said shit on Evil Eye or Black Sabbath know nothing about good music.

    L.... R....

    @Ragnar Lothbroksson that's true, it's a pretty solid track indeed :)

    L.... R....

    +Luciano Roberto Black Sabbath are the real GODS in heavy metal music,

    L.... R....

    Kkk vc aqui tb.. foda de mais essa aqui assim como todas outras

    L.... R....

    "Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer. It goes on and on, on and on, it Heaven and Hell!"
    "I got Hell looking up. I got Heaven looking down. Free me from the power of the evil eye."

    L.... R....

    Those that don't share my personal opinion know NOTHING about good music DURRRR. As a huge Sabbath fan, this song is commercial shit.

  48. H.... S....

    Tony Martin: melhor vocalista do Sabbath!

  49. B.... S....

    Eddie really ripped it up on this one.

    B.... S....

    @Butter Shave That's an immediate page turner...

    B.... S....

    Hell of a book. Clancy spins a good yarn.

    B.... S....

    @Butter Shave Yeah Mr. ed Van Halen. Old pals from the '78 world tour!

    B.... S....

    No, it isn't. Holland is a region and former province of The Netherlands. It is sometimes used as another name of The Netherlands.

    B.... S....

    I sure hope you're being sarcastic. If not, somebody needs to teach you a lesson in Geography.

  50. T.... O....

    Eddie Van Halen co-wrote this one with them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Purposes

  51. V.... H....

    This album is not great sorry Sabbath fans it has some good songs on it tho. Honestly "Headless Cross" was the peak of their work with Tony everything else is average in that time period.

    V.... H....

    @Ben Cross Yeah I found some of those @ Amazon and eBay. But I don't know, it seems ... Fishy.. I can't find someone near me, and trying to order it from a country further away increases the risk that I got scammed.

    V.... H....

    hmmm atleast with amazon you can complain and they will ive you your money back, of it does turn out to be a scam, mine didn't

    V.... H....

    @Ben Cross Then I shall try it! Thank you!

    V.... H....

    no problem

    V.... H....

    Headless Cross é o melhor na minha opinião.

  52. J.... R....

    KILLER RIFF

  53. j.... r....

    I love tony martin area black sabbath. .

    j.... r....

    me too.........

    j.... r....

    I think I visited that place one time...there was a big sign that said "Welcome to Tony Martin Area" and there was a large cemetery a few blocks down the road with a huge celtic cross.

  54. m.... ....

    Martin era Sabbath is hands down the best

    m.... ....

    Hahahaha

    m.... ....

    Worst era = Martin era sounds like a girl Martin has NO street cred

  55. A.... A....

    one of their best song. period. and Martin fucking ROCKS!

  56. S.... ....

    If you people cant recognise Eddy Vanhalens guitar soloing you are deaf !! Those solo licks are all his signature riffs ! The only one he doesnt use is hammer-ons !

  57. R.... ....

    Eddie DID perform on this song! Tony played the riff and Eddie played the little solo parts. I just read it in Tony's autobiography

  58. J.... A....

    Eddie helped write the song, but did not perform on it.

  59. J.... A....

    Eddie helped write the song, but did not perform on it.

  60. M.... ....

    what about 13?

    M.... ....

    Its a thing what about it

  61. G.... O....

    You can argue who the best vocalist is all you want but there is no question that the best Sabbath is with Ozzy and that Dio and Ian Gillan follow. If I was going to pick Sabbaths best actual "vocalist" I would choose Ian Gillan. If you really listen, the guy is amazing!

  62. i.... ....

    A lot of people rag on this record, but I actually love it. It has some really heavy licks on it, and no matter what anyone says - Tony Martin is a great singer.

  63. W.... C....

    Tony Iommi said in an interview that Eddie did in fact play on this song. It was just a fun collaboration, the two of them are actually great friends. Van Halen opened for Sabbath back in the 80's, and the two of them bonded that way. Tony almost even produced the new Van Halen record, but our Iron Man was struck with Cancer and was battling that during =VH='s recording process.

  64. V.... R....

    Eddie was actually proven to not have anything with this album at all

  65. V.... R....

    IRS is still in existence, EMI revived the label in 2011; whether or not they hold rights to the Martin era enough to the point to remaster/reissue them idk

  66. i.... ....

    The entire Martin era catalog is out of print because during this period, the band was under the IRS label which is long since no longer in existence. Iommi owns the rights to the tracks but hasn't remastered them for release (at his own expense) yet.

  67. d.... w....

    anything new in my blood can i get a free diognosis doc how much damege we talking about?

  68. E.... C....

    That would be Tony Martin. One of the greatest vocalist of all time. Who are you to call him shitty? >:O

  69. M.... ....

    That's kinda funny .. I was thinking that sounded like Eddie Van Halen at the beginning solo

  70. W.... C....

    Having Tony Iommi and Eddie Van Halen play together on a Black Sabbath track... wow...

  71. A.... ....

    Hey, me too! Black Sabbath are awesome.

  72. R.... H....

    did anyone else know that an uncredited Eddie Van Halen is featured on this song? xD

  73. d.... ....

    I swear every time I hear someone say "okay song but Ozzy should have sung it" in regards to a Martin or Dio era Sabbath song I die a little on the inside.

    d.... ....

    fuck the haters go tony martin!!!!

  74. d.... ....

    Actually he does that to make it less painful to play, what with his uncomfortable finger prosthetics.

  75. C.... ....

    I'd chop my hands off for Dio's voice & a chance to write something with Iommi

  76. C.... ....

    goddamn I love Sabbath

  77. D.... ....

    ANOTHER GREAT SONG FROM THE TONY MARTIN ERA OF SABBATH!!

  78. A.... ....

    You don't know what you're talking about.

  79. A.... B....

    Yeah!!! The Firm of Van Halen!!! =vH=

  80. s.... ....

    I perfer Dio but Tony's a good vocalist.

  81. r.... ....

    Imagine that.....I'm 46 and just now reached my prime

  82. N.... H....

    @undeadunliving Had to cut part of it out thanks to YouTube's character limit, that's why part of it didn't make sense.

  83. N.... H....

    @Wesaustin66 '"Evil Eye" was written by Martin, Iommi and Butler with Eddie Van Halen, but Van Halen was not credited, due to his affiliation with Warner Bros. Records. ...Eddie Van Halen wrote the riff for "Evil Eye" and played and recorded it in the studio and that Tony Iommi went in and re-recorded Eddie Van Halen's parts. The first main solo is performed by an uncredited Eddie Van Halen as well, per Tony Martin in the book Sabbath Bloody Sabbath: The Battle for Black Sabbath.'

    N.... H....

    Then why does it sound unmistakably like Iommi? Not even EVH or May seem able to play exactly like he does.

  84. s.... ....

    Drop guitar to B flat to make badass riff thats Iomis secret

  85. F.... s....

    Maravilhoso disco!

  86. F.... ....

    @termsofusepolice tony martin

  87. K.... K....

    I bet know one new that Eddie Van Halen co-wrote and played this song with Tony Iommi, but couldn;t be credited due to record company restrictions.

  88. s.... ....

    @josueatthebb Tee hee hee! Sorry to to inform U. It is the master of cemetary rock! Iommi!

  89. v.... ....

    Eddie Van Halen also played in that song, but he wasn't credited due to record company restrictions.

  90. W.... A....

    I always heard Eddie co-wrote this song, but never made it into the recording sessions. (shrug) Every guitar on this track sounds like Tony to me.

    W.... A....

    wow. yup, sounds like Tony's signature hammer-on / pull-off solo work!

  91. C.... T....

    Genau das ist das BESTE EvilEye

  92. D.... H....

    @Kagrenac2 yes !!!!! bible black riff !!!!

  93. B.... ....

    black sabbath evil eye vs dio evil eyes

  94. K.... ....

    The beginning riff here kind of reminds me of Heaven & Hell's Bible Black riff. lol. ;)

  95. j.... ....

    I know Tony is playing here but to me it sounds more like Keith Richards dressed as a mariachi with an ukelele plugged to the red boot of a naked gnome who is butt-raping a midget version of Hitler while in the middle of a waterpolo game inside a thermal pool in the middle of some asian mountain.

  96. D.... ....
