Teddy Picker- Arctic Monkeys

I actually have a story with this song. So I was at class, and I was listening to this song, but the teacher caught me so he took my phone and decided to play the song to embarrass me I guess. I don't know the teacher was a dick. Anyway, he plays the song and of course he played it at top volume right when the song says: 
DONT BE SURPRISED WHEN YOU GET BENT OVER
And the class just kind of looks at me and then my teacher just pauses the song and awkwardly hands me my phone back


Lyrics


They've sped up to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plenty desperation to be seen
Staring at the television
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking 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 ya, but you were dying for it


She 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 pretender 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 dying 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's want to be men of the people?
When there's people like you?

Alex honey, I love you, I really do, but I don't understand half of the beautiful nonsense that you sing. When he says, "Well sorry sunshine it doesn't exist," I swear to god that all this time I thought it said, "Well sorry Janette it doesn't exist." And for the. "She saw it, she grabbed it, and it wasn't what it seemed," I thought he was saying, "Soy anti-gravity and it wasn't what it seemed." His lyrics make way more sense now.
Honestly though, the whole not understanding the lyrics is probably a me problem.
