ARCTIC MONKEYS lyrics : "despair in the departure lounge"

He's pining for her in a people carrier

There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that


But architecture won't do




Although it might say a lot about the city or town


I don't care what they've got, keep on turning them down


It don't say the funny things she does

Don't even try and cheer him up, because it just won't happen





He's got the feeling again, this time on the aeroplane

There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front


But Rodney and Del won't do




Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains


Laugh when he falls through the bar but you're feeling the same


'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand

She won't be waiting for you when you land





It feels like she's just nowhere near

You could well be out on your ear


This thought comes closely followed by the fear


And the thoughts of it makes you feel a bit ill




Yesterday I saw a girl who looked like someone


You might knock about with

And almost shouted





And then reality kicked in within us

It seems as we become the winners


You lose a bit of summat


And half wonder if you won it at all




And don't say ow 'cause you've got no idea


And she's still nowhere near

And the thought comes closely followed by the fear


And the thoughts of it makes you feel a bit ill




Despair in the departure lounge


It's one and they'll still be around at three

No signal and low battery, what's happened to me?
