note to fellow yanks: "Teddy Picker" = "Crane Game." Doesn't it make so much sense now?

You guys.

This song.

they've sped up to the point where they provoke
the punch-line before they have told the joke
plenty of desperation to be seen
staring at the television screen
sped up to the point where they provoke you
to tell the fucking punch-line before you have told the joke
"sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
it wasn't in the top 100 list"

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 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 them take an oath that
says: "We are defenders
of any poser or professional pretender around"

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
[oh my god, this part is fucking awesome, you have to hear it]

let's have a game on the teddy picker
"not quick enough can I have it quicker"
already thick and your getting thicker

presuming all things are equal
who'd want to be men of the people
when there's people like you

Pardon me, I'm going to go close the curtains and dance my ass off in the living room.

-Lucy

I have honestly never heard anyone use the phrase 'teddy picker'. Maybe it is an UP NORTH term.

(Also: best Arctic Monkeys song by far is A Certain Romance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJO1DxEWaD8).)

Those dreaded dialect differences. Oh how do you survive~ ♥

(I still like "Teddy Picker" best, but that one is pretty damn sweet too.)
