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.
I hope you're feeling OK, I hope you've had a good day.
And when you knock upon my door I hope you're ready to play.
I think he knows what to do, I saw him jumpin' the queue,
But in your heart is fascination and we're waitin' for you.
Come and get it if you want it,
Ellie's all dressed up like she promised,
Anna she don't care what's wrong or right.
Janey's gonna live forever,
Sally's gonna get drunk whatever,
Everybody round our house tonight.
So the morning has come, and Paul is still on the drums,
And all the neighbors stopped complaining when we poured 'em some rum.
And we've made so many friends, we don't want it to end,
Why don't we put on something fabulous and do it again.
So come and get it if you want it,
Ellie's all dressed up like she promised,
Anna she don't care what's wrong or right.
Janey's gonna live forever,
Sally's gonna get drunk whatever,
Everybody round our house tonight.
Got to be there
Should've been there, should've been there, ah ah,
Should've been there, should've been there,
Should've been there, should've been there, ah ah,
Should've been there, should've been there
Every game played, has a winner,
And every sin made has a hundred sinners.
Come and get it if you want it,
Ellie's all dressed up like she promised,
Anna she don't care what's wrong or right.
Janey's gonna live forever,
Sally's gonna get drunk whatever,
Everybody round our house tonight.
Should've been there, should've been there, ah ah,
Should've been there, should've been there,
Should've been there, should've been there, ah ah,
Should've been there, should've been there
Should've been there, should've been there
Come and get it if you want it,
Ellie's all dressed up like she promised,
Anna she don't care what's wrong or right.
Janey's gonna live forever,
Sally's gonna get drunk whatever,
Everybody round our house tonight.

Fortnight

The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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,
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
It's just about people throwing a party! The image of 'Paul', whoever he is, being so drunk he stays on the drums all night is hilarious.
I adore this song- it's kinda like a feminism anthem, if you think about it! The women are partying just as hard as the men and don't care what people think. There's a theme of casual sex too, I think, which is the 'sinners' bit, but the theme is approached light-heartedly.
I think it should be Stella not Anna. And Dani (girl) not Ellie.
