NUMB


Lyrics: The Edge. Music: U2.

Don't move
Don't talk out of time
Don't think
Don't worry
Everything's just fine
Just fine

Don't grab
Don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe
Don't achieve
Don't grieve without leave

Don't check
Just balance on the fence
Don't answer
Don't ask
Don't try to make sense

Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat compete
Don't miss the one beat

Don't travel by train
Don't eat
Don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will

Don't fill out any forms
Don't compensate
Don't cower
Don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate

Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored

(Backing Chorus: I feel numb... I feel numb... too much is not enough gimme some more... gimme some more of that sutff love... too much is not enough) Don't change your brand
Don't listen to the band
Don't gape
Don't ape
Don't change your shape
Have another grape

(Too much is not enough... I feel numb... I feel numb... Gimme what you got... Gimme what I don't get... Gimme what you got... Too much is not enough I feel numb) Don't plead
Don't bridle
Don't shackle
Don't grind
Don't curve
Don't swerve
Lie, die, serve

Don't theorize, realise, polarise
Chance, dance, dismiss, apologise

(I feel numb... gimme some more... gimme some more of that stuff love... Gimme some more, too much is not enough
I feel numb)

Don't spy
Don't lie
Don't try
Imply
Detain
Explain
Start again

Don't triumph
Don't coax
Don't cling
Don't hoax
Don't freak
Peak
Don't leak
Don't speak

(I feel numb... I feel numb...)
Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
Don't expect
Suggest

Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
Don't expect
Suggest

(I feel numb... I feel numb...)
Don't struggle
Don't jerk
Don't collar
Don't work
Don't wish
Don't fish
Don't teach
Don't reach

(I feel numb) Don't borrow
Don't break
Don't fence
Don't steal
Don't pass
Don't press
Don't fry
Don't feel

(I feel numb) Don't touch
Don't dive
Don't suffer
Don't rhyme
Don't fantasize
Don't rise
Don't lie

(I feel numb) Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
Don't expect
Suggest

(I feel numb) Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
Don't expect
Suggest

(I feel numb)

VIDEO

Director unknown. Video concept: The Edge stares blankly into the camera (he is, in the video's "storyline", watching TV) while truly bizarre things happen to him, but his attention is never diverted. Features U2 manager Paul McGuinness in a walk-on role, and yes, the feet rubbing Edge's face are those of Naomi Campbell (Adam's then-squeeze) and Christie Turlington.
Chris' Rating: ****1/2. This video is just freakin' FUNNY, and it fits the song so very well. I mean, come on, who can't laugh at that picture?
