Teddy Picker

Lyrics

They've sped up to the point where they provoke
 The punchline before they have told the joke
 Plenty of desperation to be seen
 Starin' at the television screen
 They've sped up to the point where they provoke
 You to tell the fuckin' punchline before you have told the joke
 Well 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 you, but you were dyin' for it
 She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
 The kids all dream of makin' 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 that "We are defenders of any poser
 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 mornin' after
 ♪
 And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder
 Don't be surprised when you get bent over
 They told you, but you were gaggin' for it
 Let's have a game on the teddy picker
 Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
 Already thick and you're gettin' thicker
 Let's have a game on the teddy picker
 Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
 Already thick and you're gettin' thicker
 Presumin' that all things are equal
 Who'd want to be men of the people
 When there's people like you?
 
 They've sped up to the point where they provoke
 The punchline before they have told the joke
 Plenty of desperation to be seen
 Starin' at the television screen
 They've sped up to the point where they provoke
 You to tell the fuckin' punchline before you have told the joke
 Well 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 you, but you were dyin' for it
 She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
 The kids all dream of makin' 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 that "We are defenders of any poser
 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 mornin' after

 And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder
 Don't be surprised when you get bent over
 They told you, but you were gaggin' for it
 Let's have a game on the teddy picker
 Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
 Already thick and you're gettin' thicker
 Let's have a game on the teddy picker
 Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
 Already thick and you're gettin' thicker
 Presumin' that all things are equal
 Who'd want to be men of the people
 When there's people like you?
