Alex Turner - Despair In The Departure Lounge lyrics

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 airplane There might be tellys on 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 cos 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
