Cover art for Numb lyrics by Pet Shop Boys

I'll always remember this song playing in a montage on the BBC just after England were knocked out of the 2006 world cup on penalties by Portugal. It was a truly heartbreaking song - yet so right for the moment too. This song is poignant beyond belief. One of the PSB's more underrated songs - it attracts a surprising amount of hate from PSB fans.

As others have already said, the meaning of the song is clear.
