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 tellies 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] the winners 
You lose a bit of summit
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 [bad word] 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
