The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
"We are defenders
Or professional
Despair to the point where they provoke
Sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
The sheer desperation to be seen
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Like a fist replaced the kissed-on concern
They told ya, but you were gagging for it
Who'd want to be men of the people
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Save it for the morning after
The punchline before they have told the joke
Pretender around"
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath that says:
Staring at the television screen
It wasn't in the Top 100 list
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
Another variation on a theme
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Already thick and you're getting thicker
When did your list replace the twist and turn?

You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
They told ya, but you were dying for it
Despair to the point where they provoke
Already thick and you're getting thicker
And if you're bothered, I don't want your prayers
Of any poseur
When there's people like you?
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Songwriter: Alex Turner
Assuming that all things are equal
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
A tangle on the television and the magazine
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
