Echoes

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

And no-one showed us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
Now starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
No-one speaks and no-one tries
No-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

Comfortably Numb

Comfortably Numb is one of Pink Floyd's most famous, and is renowned especially for its guitar solos in the middle and at the end of the song.

Hello? Hello? 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 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 Okay Just a little pinprick There'll be no more, ah 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

Hallo, hallo, hallo Is er iemand daarbinnen? knik als je me kan horen Is er iemand thuis? Kom op nou Ik hoor dat je je down voelt Nou, ik kan de pijn verzachten En krijg je weer op de been Kom tot rust Ik heb eerst wat informatie nodig Alleen de basisfeiten Kun je me laten zien waar het pijn doet? Er is geen pijn, je gaat achteruit Een verre scheepsrook aan de horizon Je komt er alleen in golven doorheen Je lippen bewegen, maar ik kan niet horen wat je zegt Als kind had ik koorts Mijn handen voelden net als twee ballonnen Nu heb ik dat gevoel weer Ik kan het niet uitleggen, je zou het niet begrijpen Dit is niet hoe ik ben Ik ben comfortabel gevoelloos geworden Ik ben comfortabel gevoelloos geworden OK Even een speldenprikje Er zal niet meer zijn --Aaaaaahhhh! Maar misschien voel je je een beetje ziek Kun je opstaan? ik geloof het wel′ben aan het werk, Goed Dat zal je door de show houden Kom op!is tijd om te gaan Er is geen pijn, je gaat achteruit Een ver schip's rook aan de horizon Je komt er alleen in golven doorheen Je lippen bewegen, maar ik kan′niet horen wat je'zeg ik Toen ik een kind was, ving ik een vluchtige glimp op Uit mijn ooghoeken Ik draaide me om om te kijken, maar het was weg Ik kan er nu mijn vinger niet opleggen Het kind is volwassen, de droom is weg Ik ben comfortabel gevoelloos geworden

Wish you where here

The song is dedicated to Syd Barett, who suffered from schizophrenia according to many.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
