Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Looking out your window
Waiting for a call from
Anyone but me
Where can you be tonight
Looking in the mirror
You're lovely through it all
For everyone to see
What about me
Alright
Did you get just what you wanted
Did you pay for what you bought
Are you ashamed you started the fire
or just that you got caught
Looking in the future
My love is warm but I guess it's burn you want
Looks like it's burn you got so burn
Looking for a father
You're waiting for it all
You're the lock and I'm the key
How can this be alright alright
Mama told me to stay away from girls like you
Waiting for a call from
Anyone but me
Where can you be tonight
Looking in the mirror
You're lovely through it all
For everyone to see
What about me
Alright
Did you get just what you wanted
Did you pay for what you bought
Are you ashamed you started the fire
or just that you got caught
Looking in the future
My love is warm but I guess it's burn you want
Looks like it's burn you got so burn
Looking for a father
You're waiting for it all
You're the lock and I'm the key
How can this be alright alright
Mama told me to stay away from girls like you

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
I promise Im not this kinda gurl, TJ!
