A tiga-less parody. Comfortably Numb

[Rosy]

Apologies to Pink Floyd.


Hello?
Are there any supporter’s still out there?
Were you once proud of your football team?
Now does anybody care?

Come on, now
It’s understandable to feel so down
The best solution would be
To sack the cliché clown

Relax!
I need some information first,
Can you tell me if Tigerland
Could possibly get any worse?

To stop the pain I am conceding.
My distant dream’s lost on the horizon.
Memories washed away like a last tides waves.
My lips move but I can’t sing the song.
When I was a child I had some heroes.
They played with spirit and with pride.
I wish they had that passion again.
But a negative game plan,
Has left them comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little knife slice.
There’ll be no more –ahhhh
It’s time somebody had to pay the price.

Can you feel it?
I do believe it will be for our good.
You never really put up a show.
Come on now, you know you really should go.

There is no hope, you should be conceding.
As another season sets over the horizon.
Your talk of grinding comes through in waves.
I wish the players didn’t listen to what you are sayin’.
When I was a child I heard them sing our song,
Another premiership won.
I cannot even imagine it now.
The child is grown,
The dream’s long gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Comfortably numb my ass! youre bleeding just like the rest of us. And just like the rest of us you can scream and rant and rage but it wont make a blind bit of difference 'coz we got no say, no say in it at all

No you are so very wrong TM.

The losses don't hurt me in the least. I can honestly say I don't give a stuff.

I do care about the crap we're fed about how good Danny is doing with the team. I do care that we keep being fed *smile* about circuses rather than have our infield inadequacies addressed. I do care about the team being told to play negative. I do care that Clinton Casey, Greg Miller or Danny Frawley try to gloss things over rather than apologise to fans. An apology is long overdue.

But as far as the team losing goes I long ago stopped to hurt.
Why should I hurt when the club keeps telling me that everything is rosy.
I am not a fool, I can see how rosy things are for myself.

I still love the Richmond Football Club, always will. I am just biding my time until we have people in charge who bring some pride back and respect back to the place. It's been sadly neglected the last few years.

Hahaha Rosy. Pulled out the old man's record collection to hear this one. A wonderfully depressing song pertinently well parodied.

Could have done another parody with this song concerning spud called "comfortably dumb".

Most weeks I've been numb to it all Rosy too.

But tell me how you do it?

The numbness seems to have worn off this week. :'( ???

 

[tiga]

Well done Rosy! That pretty much sums up how I feel also. I guess I'm lucky living up here that I don't have to read the melbourne press. I guess you could say I am comfortably far enough away. ;D
