Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker lyrics

Despair to the point till they provoke

The punchline before they have told the joke

The sheer desperation to be seen

Staring at the television screen

Despair to the point where they provoke

You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke

Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist

It wasn't in the top 100 list

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,

Don't be surprised when you get bent over,

He told ya, that 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 'em take an oath?

That says "we are defenders

Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

When did your list replace the twist and turn?

Ah the fist, replaced the kissed-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 and it's even bolder,

Don't be surprised when you get bent over,

He told ya, that you were gagging for it

Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker

Not quick enough can I have it quicker?

Already thick and you're getting thicker

Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker

Not quick enough can I have it quicker?

Already thick and you're getting thicker

Asuming that all things are equal,

Who'd want to be men of the people

When there's people like you?
