Despair In The Departure Lounge Lyrics - Arctic Monkeys
Review The Song (5)
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 somethin'
And I wonder if you want 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
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 somethin'
And I wonder if you want 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

best song ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/7/2008
This song was out just before me and my ex split up and i loved it, then after we split it made me cry listning to it, some of the lines are so relevent to us, i have only just been able to listen to it again, it has to be one of the best songs of modern times, alex turner you are a genius

This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Alex Turner wrote it about his girlfriend 'cause he could never see her because of his busy schedule and touring. They broke up pretty recently. These lyrics are amazing.
awsome | Reviewer: Sophie | 5/8/2007
each single is worth it even though i got the albumns too! awsome song so touching. a close contender to my fav along side 505, ritz to rubble, certain romance, balaclava and do me a favour. wat can i say they're awsome!
Turner at'is best! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/16/2007
This is the best song in it's category since Oasis' Slide Away! Simply beatiful writing by Turner!
