“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,
And I have become
Comfortably numb.”
— Pink Floyd, ’Comfortably Numb’
“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,
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?”
— Pink Floyd, ‘Comfortably Numb’
“Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.”
— Pink Floyd, ‘Wish You Were Here’
“We’re just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl.”
— Pink Floyd, ‘Wish You Were Here’
“I’ve given everyone I know
A good reason to go.”
— fun., ‘All Alright’
“You figured me out - I’m lost and I’m hopeless,
Bleeding and broken - though I’ve never spoken.”
— Matchbox Twenty, ‘Mad Season’
“Everybody’s life is someone.” — Matchbox Twenty, ‘All I Need’
“And the only chance we have of moving on
Is try to take it back
Before it all went wrong.”
— The Script, ‘Before The Worst’
“I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die.” — fun., ‘One Foot’
“Try to see it my way;
Do I have to keep on talking ‘til I can’t go on?
While you see it your way;
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.”
— The Beatles, ‘We Can Work It Out’
