Arctic Monkeys – Teddy Picker Lyrics

They sped up to the point where they provoke
the punchline before they have told the joke
Concealed desperation to be seen
staring at the television screen
They sped up to the point where they provoke
you to tell the fucking punchline before you have to the joke
I'm sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
it wasn't in the top 100 list

And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
they told ya
but you were dyin' for it

Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and a magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make them take an oath that says that we are
defenders of any poser or professional pretender around

When did your list replace the twist and turn
and the fist replace the kiss, don't concern
Don't be bothered
I don't want your prayer
Save it for the morning after

And it's the thousandth time that 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, can you get in quicker

Let's have a game on the teddy picker
not quick enough can i have it quicker
already thick, can you get in quicker

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