Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker
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 punch line
Before you have told the joke
Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the top 100 list
That it's the thousandth time
That it's even bolder
Don't be surprised
When you get bent over
Be 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 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
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
That it's the thousandth time
That it's even bolder
Don't be surprised
When you get bent over
Be told ya
That you were gagging for it
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can
I have it quicker
Already thick and
You're getting thicker
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can
I have it quicker
Already thick and
You're getting thicker
Assuming that all things are equal
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you
