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 alot about a city or town,
I don’t care what theyve got, keep on turning them down,
It dun’t say a funny thing, she does,
Don’t even try and cheer ‘em up because,
It just won’t happen.

He’s got the feeling again,
This time on the aeroplane,
There might be teles in the back of the seats in front,
But Rodney and Del won’t do.

Although it might take there mind off the aches and the pains,
Laugh when he falls through the bar were you feeling the same,
cos she isn’t there to hold your hand,
She won’t be waiting for you when you land,
It feels like you could well be out on your ear,
And because she’s nowhere near,
The thought comes closely followed by the fear,
And the force of it makes you feel a bit ill.

Yesterday I saw a girl who looked like someone
you might knock about with,
I almost shouted,
And then reality kicked in within us,
It seems as we’ve become the winners,
We lose a bit of summat,
I half wonder if you won it at all,

And don’t say ‘owt ‘cause you’ve got no idea,
And shes still nowhere near,
The thought comes closely followed by the fear,
And the force of it makes you feel a bit ill.

Despair in the departure lounge,
its one and we’ll still be around at three,
No signal and low battery,
What’s happened to me?
