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.
You make my teeth clench
And my hands shake
Do you ever see
what you do to me?
You're wearing me out
Just wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down
You're impossible to love or leave
So impossible to win or please
I'm wearing you out
Just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want
I make your lips wet
And your moans quake
Try to think through
What I can do to you
It's wearing me thin
Can I begin
To wear you out?
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want
I'm impossible
To figure out
So impossible
You had your doubts
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything, honey
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything, honey
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
Take what you want from me
And my hands shake
Do you ever see
what you do to me?
You're wearing me out
Just wearing me out
But I'm wearing you down
You're impossible to love or leave
So impossible to win or please
I'm wearing you out
Just wearing you out
But I'm wearing you down
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want
I make your lips wet
And your moans quake
Try to think through
What I can do to you
It's wearing me thin
Can I begin
To wear you out?
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything from me
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want
I'm impossible
To figure out
So impossible
You had your doubts
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything, honey
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
It means nothing now
Take everything, honey
It means nothing now
Not so easy to forgive
Harder to forget
Take what you want from me
Take what you want from me

"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.

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
And it's "I make your lips wet"
