Intro:
   | Am  | Am  | Am  | Am  |
   | E   | E   | Am  | Am

Verse:
        Am
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
    Am
The punchline before they have told the joke
    Am
Plenty of desperation to be seen
Am
Staring at a television screen


        Am
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
                        Am
You to tell the xxxxing punchline before you have told the joke
      Am
Well, sorry sunshine, it doesn't exist
   Am
It wasn't in the top 100 list

Chorus:
             F                        E
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Am
 Don't be surprised when you get bent over
F              E                            Eb
  They told ya, that you were gagging for it

Verse:
    Am
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
    Am
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
 Am
Another variation on a theme
                Am
a tangle on the television and the magazine


      Am
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
      Am
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
               Am
That says "we are defenders
   Am                     Am            Am
Of any poser or professional pretender around"

Chorus:
-nc-              F            E
When did your list replace the twist and turn
       Am
Like a fist replaced a kiss?
           F                                           E
Don't concern us with your bollocks. I don't want your prayers

Save it for the morning after

Solo: Am

Chorus:
             F                        E
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Am
 Don't be surprised when you get bent over
F              E                            Am
  They told ya, that you were gagging for it

Outro:
F     -nc-
Let's have a game on a Teddy Picker
E   -nc-
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Am   -nc-                                Am
Already thick and you're getting thicker
F     -nc-
Let's have a game on a Teddy Picker
E   -nc-
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Am   -nc-                                Eb
Already thick and you're getting thicker
   Am
Presuming that all things are equal,
Am                               E
Who'd want to be men of the people
                      -nc-    Am
When there's people like you?
