Arctic Monkeys - Despair In The Departure Lounge Lyrics

Complimentary "Despair In The Departure Lounge" Ringtone

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
