The Kooks - Despair in The Departure Lounge (AM cover)

the kooks covering "Despair in the departure lounge" beautiful song of Arctic Monkeys.
i made the video..
here's the 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

I actually love both versions. What Luke did with this is brilliant full stop... BUT! Arctic Monkeys version is better than this...why?...because this is ALEX FUCKING TURNER of ARCTIC FUCKING MONKEYS we're talking about (no homo) . haha, still love this though.

[JB61295]

He doesn't have THAT accent

[jasonyore]

says "something" instead of "summat" but says "owt" >_<

@emia02 yeeeeeeap, but sometimes too much "intepretation" ruin songs up. that's an example. I really like the kooks (not as much as I like arctic monkeys, but they're great), but this song is just screwed.

[emia02]

@MuriloPepler have you ever heard of interpretation??

[rocanluna17]

si tocan esa cancion con el requinto?. si la tocan con el requinto alguien me aria el fabor de pasarme los acordes porfa

[rocanluna17]

jajaj se escucha algo desafinado cuando alsa la bos pero esta chida la cancion, ese cambio se oye chido

[ClassiKidTV]

Why does he sound French?

[MonkmisterTLB]

I must say I hated this version when I first heard it but it really grew on me. I still prefer the AM version but this is almost just as appealing to me.

[RosieeElizabethh]

ugh arctic monkeys are 100000x better than the kooks but idk this version is just SO PERFECT



[alaanassar]
