Teddy Picker Lyrics

Despair up to the point when they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
The sheer desperation to be scene/seen
Staring at the television screen
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e33572-artic_monkeys~tedy_picker_lyrics.html ]
Despair up to the point when 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 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
Do you reckon that they do it for a joke?
Do you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
That says that we are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around

When did your list replace the twist and turn?
like a 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

Assuming that all things are equal,
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you?
