Despair In The Departure Lounge (Cover of the 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 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 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
