Portishead is a band from Bristol, England, named after the small coastal town of Portishead, 12 miles west of Bristol. They are an important part of the trip-hopscene which started in Bristol in the 90's. With their tasteful use of live jazzsamples and intentionally lo-fisound, the band has been cited as influential by many modern musicians including guitarist Wes Borland, Hip-Hop star Kanye West, and underground producer DJ DangerMouse. (The name is pronounced ' -tiss-hed', with a hard 's' in the middle, and not ' por-ti-shed'). The band was formed in 1991, by keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrowand singer Beth Gibbons.

Numb Lyrics
Portishead
Unable so lost
I cant find my way
Been searching, but I have never seen
A turning, a turning from deceit
Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
I cant understand myself anymore
But I m still feeling lonely
Feeling so unholy
Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
But this loneliness
It just wont leave me alone
Im fooling somebody
A faithless path to roam
Deceiving to breath this secretly
This silence, a silence I cant bear
Cos the child roses like
Try to reveal what I could feel
And this loneliness
It just wont leave me alone
And this loneliness,
It just wont leave me alone, ohh no
A lady of war
A lady of war
