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?
