Stranded in Stansted
The Clockworks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then we're stuck,
Fuck
Nobody waits if you're late,
That's a surety,
At security, maturity
Runs amok
We're all in the same situation Not there by 8
Now we're stuck,
Fuck
Nobody waits if you're late
Thats a surety
At security maturity
Runs amok
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 collected,
'There's nothing in there'
But he stands corrected
When his can of Lynx is detected
You can tell a lot about
A man when he's stressed,
Hand pressed to the chest,
Kids less than impressed,
Oh you try your best
Not to confess
But the truth comes through nevertheless.
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard
And I can't stand when the
Sweat drips down
My forehead and brows
As calls for all passengers
Not boarded by now
Ring through the terminal
Distorting the sound
Of a thousand flip flops flapping around.
Yeah.
The next flight isn't until 20 to 3,
God forbid we'd see any empathy,
We don't want to spend the night
In a duty free
With the Toblerone, cheap fags
And whiskey.
Do we?
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
Trying to make us violent
Chasing the 8:40 Dublin bound
Stranded
Standing in Stansted
Panic is standard
And I can't stand it

Line by Line Meaning
If we're not there by 8
If we don't reach on time
Then we're stuck
We'll be stranded
Fuck
Displeased with the situation
Nobody waits if you're late,
People won't wait for tardy passengers
That's a surety,
It's certain
At security, maturity
Being an adult
Runs amok
Losing composure
We're all in the same situation
Everyone's facing the same predicament
There's the Dad that brags
One man boasts
That he's calm and collected,
Being composed
Losing his rag when his bag
Getting angry
Is collected,
Gets examined
'There's nothing in there'
Nothing suspicious inside
But he stands corrected
But he's proven wrong
When his can of Lynx is detected
When his deodorant spray is discovered
You can tell a lot about
Judging someone
A man when he's stressed,
A man's real personality when tensed
Hand pressed to the chest,
Holding his shirtfront
Kids less than impressed,
Children unimpressed
Oh, you try your best
Giving an honest effort
Not to confess
Hiding the truth
But the truth comes through nevertheless.
Ultimately, the truth is revealed
Stranded
Stuck with no way out
Standing in Stansted
Being at Stansted airport
Panic is standard
Panicking is common
And I can't stand when the
Disliking the feeling
Sweat drips down
Sweating profusely
My forehead and brows
Face and forehead
As calls for all passengers
Announcements for all travelers
Not boarded by now
Yet to board
Ring through the terminal
Echoes throughout the airport
Distorting the sound
Making it difficult to hear
Of a thousand flip flops flapping around.
Noise of hundreds of people moving around
Yeah.
Acknowledging
The next flight isn't until 20 to 3,
The later flight is at 2:40
God forbid we'd see any empathy,
Not expecting any sympathy
We don't want to spend the night
Don't wish to stay overnight
In a duty free
Inside a tax-free shopping zone
With the Toblerone, cheap fags
Toblerone chocolates, low-priced cigarettes
And whiskey.
And alcohol drinks
Do we?
We don't, do we?
I'm not scared of planes
Not frightened to fly
I'm scared of pilots
Scared of the captain
But who cares while we're still on the ground,
Don't worry until taking off
Ryanair are
Airline company Ryanair
Trying to make us violent
Causing anger among passengers
Chasing the 8:40 Dublin bound
Trying to board the Dublin flight at 8:40
Stranded
Stuck with no way out
Standing in Stansted
Being at Stansted airport
Panic is standard
Panicking is common
And I can't stand it
Disliking the feeling
