Black Sabbath Question
#1
I am not a Black Sabbath fan, but I do like some of their work.
Back in the mid 70's, I remember hearing a piece by them that I liked.
I do not know its name, but it was about someone laying there dieing with the sounds of an ambulance siren wailing in the back ground.

I have downloaded what I thought was a discography of their '70s albums.
But, I have not been able to find that track.

Does anyone know the track I'm referring to?
If so, what's its name and what album is it on?

Thanks NrKNrK, but I'm sure that isn't it.
It's been ~40 years since I heard it.
It was on a compilation tape a friend had at the time.
He told me it was a Black Sabbath song.
While I do not remember the words, I'm sure the lyrics were of guy laying there hurt and dying [I believe from a car crash] with a wailing guitar sounding like an ambulance siren off in the distance getting closer and closer as the song progresses.

I've found a few others that were on that tape:
Bonzo Dog Band's:
Don't Get Me Wrong and
Suspicion

Juicy Lucy's
Chicago North Western

There are more that elude me right now.

doesn't ring any Sabbath bells to me, but try this one - Bloodrock, D.O.A., 1970

By golly, I think you've got it!
The lines:
"God in heaven teach me how to die",
and the girlfriend with the vacant eyes
clinch it.

I'm surprised it is as close to my memory of it as it is.
Thanks.
You've finalized a search I've been on and off for many years.
Bloodrock, I'd never have thought of them.
In fact, I don't even remember them.
Thank you sir.
I'm off to go get their music.
