Here’s reviving a long lost category<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I watched Departed – again – last night and there’s this sequence where the song is playing in the background. Though I had heard the song many times before, it never quite had the same “impact” as yesterday – it’s been stuck in my head ever since and I have heard it n times already.<\/p>\n

For those not familiar with the song, first the lyrics, via the imaginatively named Pink-Flyod-Lyrics.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nHello?
\nIs there anybody in there?
\nJust nod if you can hear me.
\nIs there anyone at home?
\nCome on, now,
\nI hear you’re feeling down.
\nWell I can ease your pain
\nGet you on your feet again.
\nRelax.
\nI’ll need some information first.
\nJust the basic facts.
\nCan you show me where it hurts?<\/p>\n

There is no pain you are receding
\nA distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
\nYou are only coming through in waves.
\nYour lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
\nWhen I was a child I had a fever
\nMy hands felt just like two balloons.
\nNow I’ve got that feeling once again
\nI can’t explain you would not understand
\nThis is not how I am.
\nI have become comfortably numb.<\/p>\n

O.K.
\nJust a little pinprick.
\nThere’ll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
\nBut you may feel a little sick.
\nCan you stand up?
\nI do believe it’s working, good.
\nThat’ll keep you going through the show
\nCome on it’s time to go.<\/p>\n

There is no pain you are receding
\nA distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
\nYou are only coming through in waves.
\nYour lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
\nWhen I was a child
\nI caught a fleeting glimpse
\nOut of the corner of my eye.
\nI turned to look but it was gone
\nI cannot put my finger on it now
\nThe child is grown,
\nThe dream is gone.
\nI have become comfortably numb.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
