Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb" - Live 2005 (Last Concert with Roger Waters)




On 2 July 2005 Pink Floyd performed at the London Live 8 concert with Roger Waters rejoining David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. It was the quartet's first performance together in over 24 years — the band's last show with Waters was at Earls Court in London on 17 June 1981.





Lyrics


Hello

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home?


Come on now

I hear you're feeling down

Well, I can ease your pain

And 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 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 aaaaaaaah!

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 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

I have become comfortably numb
