Despair In The Departure Lounge - Arctic Monkeys

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 'em 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 tellies 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

And 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 thought 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 owt 'cause you’ve got no idea

And she’s still nowhere near

And the thought comes closely followed by the fear

And the thought 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?
