  • Hello?
    Is there anybody in there?
    Just nod if you can hear me.
    Is there anyone at home?
    Come on, Come on, Come on, now,
    I hear you're feeling down.
    I can ease your pain
    Get you on your feet again.
    Relax.
    I'll need some information first.
    Just the basic facts.
    Can you show me where it hurts?
    There is no pain you are receding
    A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
    You are only coming through in waves.
    Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
    When I was a child I had a FEVER.
    My hands felt just like two balloons.
    Now I've got that feeling once again
    I can't explain, you would not understand
    This is not how I am.
    I have become comfortably numb.
    I have become comfortably numb
    O.K.
    Just a little pin prick.
    There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
    But you may feel a little sick.
    Can you stand up?
    I do believe it's working, good.
    That'll keep you going through the show
    Come on it's time to go.
    There is no pain you are receding
    A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
    You are only coming through in waves.
    Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    but I have become comfortably numb.
    All my words are secondhand and
    Useless in the face of this
    Rationale and rhyme and reason
    Pale beside a single kiss
    And I've heard so many things I
    Fail to understand at all
    I'd settle anytime for
    Unknown footsteps in the hall outside
    And all I know for sure
    All I know for real
    Is knowing doesn't mean so much
    When placed against the feeling
    The heat inside
    When bodies meet
    When fingers touch
    And I know the world is cold but
    If you hold on tight to what you
    Find you might not mind too much though
    Even this must pass away and
    Memories may last for years but
    Names are just for souvenirs
    Some kind of angel let me
    Look into your eyes
    Don't give me whys and wherefores
    Reason or surprise
    I don't care for words that don't belong
    And I don't care what you're called
    Tell me later if at all
    I can wait a long long time
    Before I hear another love song
    Come here I think you're beautiful
    I think you're beautiful beautiful
    Come here I think you're beautiful
    I think you're beautiful beautiful
    Come here I think you're beautiful
    I think you're beautiful beautiful

    This lyrics, hands down, must be among the best ever written. And, yes, Davids guitar shoes might be a a couple of numb(ers) to big for most guitar players..
    "You are only coming through in waves.
    Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying."
    It's hard to top those lines..

      As a big Pink Floyd fan since the mid 80s, I first heard this back in the early 90s and this has always been my favourite cover of a Floyd song. One day I listened to a live Pink Floyd "The Wall" bootleg, and Richard Wright played a piano / keyboard melody during the guitar solo of Comfortably numb - that was almost the same as Some Kind of Stranger (which was always one of my favouritse Sisters songs). That makes this version all the more awesome. To me, Andrew Eldritche really resonated with this song, and amplified the emotion during the performances. It's awesome!

    Some kind of Stranger is a bit his Moonage Daydream :-) I've been a fan since 1984 but didn't think their live performances were at the stratospheric level of those 2 sublime albums. On the other hand, what is there still to say about music in a world wherein Taylor Swift is breaking all records???
