Teddy Picker

Arctic Monkeys · Favourite Worst Nightmare [2007]

They sped up 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



They sped up 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 that 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 or professional pretender around"



And when did your list

Replace the twist and turn like a fist

Replaced a kiss

Don't concern us with your bollocks

I don't want your prayer

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



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?
