Stranded in Stansted by The Clockworks Lyrics

If we're not there by eight then we're stuck
Fuck
Nobody waits if you're late
That's a surety
At security
Maturity runs amuck
We're all in the same situation
Not there by eight, now we're stuck
Fuck

Nobody waits if you're late
That's a surety
At security
Maturity runs amuck
We're all in the same situation
We're all in the same situation

There's the dad that brags
That he's calm and collected
Losing his rag
When his bag is inspected
'Oh, there's nothing in there'
He stands corrected
When his can of Lynx is detected
You can tell a lot about a man
When he's stressed
And pressed to the chest
Kids less than impressed
You try your best not to confess
The truth comes through nevertheless

Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard

Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard
And I can't stand when the

Sweat drips down my forehead
And brows
As calls for the passengers
Not boarded by now
Ring through the terminal
Distorting the sound
Of a thousand flip-flops flapping 'round
(Yeah)

The next flight isn't until twenty-to-three
God forbid we'd see any empathy
We don't wanna spend the night
In a duty free
With a Toblerone, cheap fags, and whisky
Do we?
Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard

Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard

And I can't stand it

I'm not scared of planes
I'm scared of pilots
But who cares while we're still on the ground?
Ryanair are tryna make us violent
Chasing me
Eight-fourty, Dublin-bound

Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard

And I can't stand it

Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard
And I can't stand it
