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 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
