This song is actually brilliant. Firstly, my interpretation is a very realistically modern motto based around the Arctic Monkey's home town of Sheffield. Teddy picker is the name given to an almost sub-culture of people, usually men, who are beyond arrogance and think the world of themselves. Like the song says, they'll annoy you so much by telling you the "punch line before you have told the joke". Then the song goes on to depict that one day, if those people stay like that then someone will choose to emit harm upon them, in this case the teddy picker has been told a "thousand times" and he's getting "bolder" and he was warned, before someone took it upon themselves to violently bring harm to him. The term "get bent over" is often mistaken for meaning rape, when in retrospect it is a cruel modern day means of attack where a person is stabbed in the behind, effective and common as if caught, it is not attempt to murder but simply violent attack.

wait a second does this have something to do with muslims atacks in London where the muslim killed people with a knife on the streets, wow, you english men have slangs already for what is happening already. PS a romanian
