Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle and drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows

Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought that you'd escape the reaper
You can't escape the Master Keeper

'Cause you feel like you're living a lie
Such a shame who's to blame and you're wondering why
Then you ask from your cask us there life after birth
What you sow can mean Hell on this earth

Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper's traveling at full throttle
It's catching you but you don't see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me

Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there's no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide, Suicide is the only way out
Don't you know what it's really about

Wine is fine but whiskey's quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle and drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows

    General Comment:Clearly, anyone with a brain can see that this song is about alcoholism. Anyone who thinks it's about suicide or convincing someone to kill themselves, is a moron. End of discussion.

    "Goodbye to Romance" - Well, that may actually be about suicide.

    Song Meaning:This song was written by BOB DAISLEY about Ozzy. He saw what Ozzy was doing to himself after Sabbath. Ozzy did NOT write this about Bon Scott. Lies, lies, lies. He has been telling lies for decades about his songwriting. Bob Daisley wrote most of his best material up to No More Tears. IF you don ;t think Bob wrote Ozzy's lyrics google "Max Norman KNAC" and read the article.

    NORMAN: Yes, he really does. The other thing is that whole band kinda gave Ozzy his new sound. There's no doubt drummer Lee Kerslake made some great contributions. And I believe a lot of the lyrics we're written by Bassist Bob Daisley (Ozzy, Gary Moore, Uriah Heep). Although they might want to dispute that now.

    General Comment:oh and to end the debate, its a metaphorical sort of suicide, which isnt actually suicide in lets say legal terms but in practice its basically suicide. bon scott didnt intend to die, which means its technically not suicide, but on the other hand you can say he chose to drink which is a choice that led to his death, which is a lot like suicide.

    General Comment:kay randy died in a plane accident, he didnt die from alcohol. ozzy said it was about bon scott but bob daisley says its actually about ozzy's drinking problem.

    and suicide solution doenst mean killing yourself is a way to solve a problem... the word solution is used to mean "substance"....get it? alcohol is a substance that will kill you.

    General Comment:NO!
    THIS IS NOT ABOUT RANDY RHOADS or BON SCOTT!!!
    Ozzy didn't even write this one.
    Yes, one is "Camp Ozzy" wrote it but Ozzy didn't write it. Suicide Solution is about Ozzy. An *outsider* wrote it about how he thought Ozzy was out of control with HIS drinking and would eventually kill himself.
    Duh.
    Just read the Randy Rhoads Guitar World magazine, you lame-o's.
    hearts.

    General Comment:obviosly if you read the first lines of the song "wine is fine but whiskey's quicker" it's a song in reffernce to the drinking * ok note here for the fuc*tards not true ozzy/sabbath fans it's about the drinking death od his friend and the choice he made to drink himself to death whether knowly or unknowing ly..now when he was sued all 8 times they did hire audiloigidt they claimed in the song if you listen closely it can be "get the gun" but ozzy swore on his kid's life he never said it..i l've listened closely i've never heard but in that mindset you might just hear it ...you'll hear whatever to blame the song on an artist bc of this kid's death..btw he won each case...and who in the hell though randy rhoades killed himself..get a brain if you're a reue ozzy fan get it right he died in a Plane CRASH!!!!!

    General Comment:Booze. This song is about the dangers of alcohol. Tt also suggests there's a choice regarding alcoholism and without help, you will slowly kill yourself.
