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.
How many people can I hate in my mind
With an intention of murder
Have the people fear me
The people bleeding
Once they're conditioned, it's easy to provoke aggression
This premonition is evil
Killing begets more killing
The blood lust begins
Killing begets more killings
The blood lust begins
What kind of visions can I build in my mind
To harvest the hearts of the people
To create the fever you need a reason
Once they're conditioned, it's easy to provoke aggression
This premonition is evil
Killing begets more killing
The blood lust begins
Killing begets more killing
The blood lust begins
It makes me feel alive in my eyes
It makes all the pain subside
Just out after sunset
I take a walk down the streets
Ya know, try to clear the head
And I feel like I gotta put my fist upon the wall
Feel the cold concrete as it tears apart my ??
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel I'm breaking down now (x4)
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel I'm breaking down
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel I'm fucking up
Take it, feel it, you freak
I can't get out
Take it, feel it,
With an intention of murder
Have the people fear me
The people bleeding
Once they're conditioned, it's easy to provoke aggression
This premonition is evil
Killing begets more killing
The blood lust begins
Killing begets more killings
The blood lust begins
What kind of visions can I build in my mind
To harvest the hearts of the people
To create the fever you need a reason
Once they're conditioned, it's easy to provoke aggression
This premonition is evil
Killing begets more killing
The blood lust begins
Killing begets more killing
The blood lust begins
It makes me feel alive in my eyes
It makes all the pain subside
Just out after sunset
I take a walk down the streets
Ya know, try to clear the head
And I feel like I gotta put my fist upon the wall
Feel the cold concrete as it tears apart my ??
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel I'm breaking down now (x4)
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel I'm breaking down
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel
Take it, feel it, you freak
I feel I'm fucking up
Take it, feel it, you freak
I can't get out
Take it, feel it,

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
The lyrics are mostly right here except for a few bits which makes the lyrics corrected here:
How many people can I hate in my mind? With an intention of murder Have the people fear me The people bleeding
Once they're conditioned, it's easy to provoke aggression This premonition is evil
Killing begets more killing The blood lust begins Killing begets more killings The blood lust begins
What kind of visions can I build in my mind? To harvest the hearts of the people To create the fever you need a reason
Once they're conditioned, it's easy to provoke aggression This premonition is evil
Killing begets more killing The blood lust begins Killing begets more killing The blood lust begins
It makes me feel alive in my eyes It makes all the pain subside
KILL! (Whispered)
Just out after sunset I take a walk down the streets Ya know, just try to clear my head And I feel like I gotta put my fist upon the wall Feel the cold concrete as it tears apart my knuckles!
Take it, feel it, you freak I feel I'm breaking down now (x4)
Take it, feel it, you freak I feel I'm breaking down
Take it, feel it, you freak I feel...
Take it, feel it, you freak I feel I'm fucking up
Take it, feel it, you freak I can't get out
Take it, feel it.
Awesome song, perhaps about the book Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett, of which the name for the cd was based off of. Good crime novel. Theres no real reference to the book in this song though, just about hatred and aggression. Great song.
