Teddy Picker Lyrics

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 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 They told ya, but you were dying 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 [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/teddy-picker-lyrics-arctic-monkeys.html ] 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 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 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?
