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
Despair in the departure lounge

El año 2004 un amigo les hizo una página web y colgó sus canciones en ella. Sin darse cuenta, miles de personas descargaron sus canciones sin pagar ni uno, con el viejo truco del Guardar como, decenas de miles fueron a sus conciertos durante el 2005 y centenares de miles corrieron a comprar su disco cuando salió a la venta, el 23 de enero de 2006. ¿Resultado? ya es sabido: ese mismo día vendieron 120.000 discos, más que los otros 19 discos más vendidos del momento sumados. En una semana ya llevaban 360.000, cifra que lo convertía en el debut más vendido en Gran Bretaña en su primera semana, más que Oasis, por ejemplo. En un mes el disco vende más de un millón de unidades en todo el mundo.
