Teddy Picker Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[E][E][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
They've [Am]sped up to the point
where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plen[Am]ty of desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen
They've [Am]sped up to the point
where they provoke you to tell the fucking
punchline before you have told the joke
Well [Am]sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the Top one hundred list

[Chorus 1]
And it's the [F]thousandth time
that it's [E]even bolder
[Am]Don't be surprised when you get bent over
[F]They told ya,[E] but you were dying for it
[Eb][Eb]

[Interlude 1]
[Am]Saw it and she grabbed it,
and it wasn't what it seemed
The [Am]kids all dream of making it,
whatever that means

[Verse 2]
An- [Am]other variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you [Am]reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath
That says that we [Am]are defenders
Of any poseur or professio[Am]nal
pretender around

[Chorus 2]
When did your [F]list
replace the [E]twist and turn
Like a [Am]fist replaced the kiss?
Don't [F]concern us with your bollocks,
[E]I don't want your prayer
Save it for the morning

[Solo 1]
[Am](af- [Am]ter)[Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[E][E][Am][Am]

[Chorus 3]
And it's the [F]thousandth time
that it's [E]even bolder
[Am]Don't be surprised when you get bent over
[F]They told ya,
[E]but you were gagging for it[Am]
[F]Let's have a game on the teddy picker
[E]Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
[Am]Already thick and you're getting thicker
[F]Let's have a game on the teddy picker
[E]Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
[Am]Already thick and you're getting thick[Eb]er

[Outro 1]
Pre[Am]sum ing that all things are equal
Who'd want to be men of the peo[E]ple
When there's people like [Am]you
