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.
Find yourself a new frontier
'Cause life is going, going gone
Fly yourself away from here 'til you're clear
Before it's going, going, gone
Say it loud and in the light
For it's going, going gone
Shake the hands, the hands that pick people fight
'Cause life is going, going gone
Yes I'll find you and cut you down
Friends and neighbours, sleepy town
If you wake up before the blow
Pick your face up
We come, we go
We live until we live no more
Travel with the dead black eye
Before it's come and come and gone
Cradles and the rocking chairs beneath the light
Before it's come and come and gone
Yes I'll find you and cut you down
Friends and neighbours, sleepy town
If you wake up before the blow
Pick your face up
We come, and go
We come and go, oh oh oh
We come and go, oh oh oh oh
'Cause life is going, going gone
Fly yourself away from here 'til you're clear
Before it's going, going, gone
Say it loud and in the light
For it's going, going gone
Shake the hands, the hands that pick people fight
'Cause life is going, going gone
Yes I'll find you and cut you down
Friends and neighbours, sleepy town
If you wake up before the blow
Pick your face up
We come, we go
We live until we live no more
Travel with the dead black eye
Before it's come and come and gone
Cradles and the rocking chairs beneath the light
Before it's come and come and gone
Yes I'll find you and cut you down
Friends and neighbours, sleepy town
If you wake up before the blow
Pick your face up
We come, and go
We come and go, oh oh oh
We come and go, oh oh oh oh

@[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'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/
