Teddy Picker

Despair up to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plenty of desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen

Despair up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
I'm sorry sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the top hundred 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

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
Pretenders around?

When did your list
Replace the twist and turn? Like a fist
Replaced the 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
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 and you're getting thicker

Let's have a game on the teddy picker
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker

Presuming that all things are equal
Who'd want to be man of the people
When there's people like you?
