Comfortably numb

(dedicato a Silvio Berlusconi e Romano Prodi)

COMFORTABLY NUMB

Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, come on down,
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax, relax, relax
I 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.

[guitar solo]

I have become comfortably numb.

OK, OK, OK
Just a little pin prick.
There’ll be no more, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh,
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up, stand up, stand up.
I do believe it's working good.
That’ll keep you going for 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 has grown, the dream is gone.

I have become comfortably numb.

Lasciate perdere l'albero storto e nodoso, ivi inclusi Ciriaco De Mita, Cirino Pomicino, Vincenzo Visco che s'era fatto - o rifatto - la villa abusiva calpestando la legge e per questo condannato, e quant'altri ...

Votate + a sinistra del pretone, sennò sarà come avere la dc al governo e tra cinque anni saremo qui a lamentarci tutti per le politiche troppo caute fatte dal governo Prodi ... che nel dibattito ci ha proposto la solita tagliatella al ragù ma poi diremo : "Ce l'ha fatta solo annusare, quel furbacchione !".
(sarà che da piccolo di tagliatelle me n'hanno fatte mangiare troppe, che non c'ho più 'sto appetito ? Mah, forse).

Votate + a sinistra, quel che vi pare ...
