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.
Oh yeah, fuck it!
Yeah!
Oh
I've got a killer's blood
Running deep inside my veins
(Down in my veins)
Don't expect you to understand
I was born without a name
(No name)
I see right through you, your opinions are a fucking joke
(Haha)
I crucify you, on a silver spoon I hope you choke
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
Right!
Oh
I'll fade the fuck away
Swear to God that I don't care
(I swear to Christ)
I'll die a lonely death cause I know that life ain't fair
(It ain't fair at all)
I can't pretend that I am someone that I'm not
I live for me, myself
You can't convince me that I'm wrong
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
Right!
Yeah!
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
(Why?)
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
(All for me)
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
I'm tired of trying to please the world that spins around me
(Why?)
This time I'm doing it for me and me alone
(All for me)
I don't need anyone, don't think I ever did
Not trying to be selfish, just doing what I know
I'm a menace!
Fucking menace!
Oh menace!
Yeah!
Oh
I've got a killer's blood
Running deep inside my veins

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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/
