Teddy Picker

Teddy Picker
Despair to the point till they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
The sheer desperation to be scene/seen
Staring at the television screen
Despair to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fuc*** 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,
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
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"
When did your list replace the twist and turn?
Ah the 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

Asuming that all things are equal,
Who´d want to be men of the people
When there´s people like you?
La canción 'Teddy Picker' de Arctic Monkeys reflexiona sobre la desesperación de ser visto y reconocido en una sociedad obsesionada con la fama y la popularidad...
