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 Turners 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLS8ffCYN80
