Teddy Picker by Arctic Monkeys

Despair to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
The sheer desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen
Despair up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
But sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the top 100 list
And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told you
But you were gagging for it

She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make them take an oath
That says: We are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around

When did your list replace the twist and turn?
Like the fist replace the kiss-on concern
And if you're bothered
I don't want your prayers
Save it for the morning after

And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya
But you were gagging for it

Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can i have it quicker?
Already thick, can you get in thicker
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can i have it quicker?
Already thick, can you get in thicker
'Cos you meant that all things are equal
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you
