ARCTIC MONKEYS LYRICS - Teddy Picker

"Teddy Picker"



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



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?
