2. Despair In The Departure Lounge

Released as part of the €˜Who The F*ck Are Arctic Monkeys?€™ EP back in 2006, the song tells the story of lead singer Alex Turner missing his then girlfriend whilst away on tour with the band. This song showcases Turner€™s lyrical genius in all its glory, at one point even making reference to classic sitcom €˜Only Fools And Horses€™. Besides all this, the song provides a mellower tune, somewhat in tone with the subject matter, and remains a fan-favourite to date.
