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.
A couple of bucks worth in the ashtray
A half of tank of Texaco
You're sitting with your feet on the dash fiddling with the radio
Take a lift at the edge of town out where the roads ain't paved
And if we never find our way back it doesn't matter anyway
('Cause/But) I've been lost since you found me
Head our heart and soul
As long as your arms are around me
It don't matter where we go
I'm right where I always dreamed that I would be
Lost since you found me
We can go to the Oklahoma
Take a swim if it gets too hot
Or have an ice cold coca cola at the whistle stop
I never notice that little white house with a for sale sign
And I've been up and down this road about a million times
('Cause/But) I've been lost since you found me
Head our heart and soul
As long as your arms are around me
It don't matter where we go
I'm right where I always dreamed that I would be
Lost since you found me
Every since you came in sight
I don't know my left from right
Where I start or where you end
Baby,all I know is
('Cause/But) I've been lost since you found me
Head our heart and soul
As long as your arms are around me
It don't matter where we go
I'm right where I always dreamed that I would be
Lost since you found me
Since you found me
Lost since you found me
I've been lost since you found me
Ooooo, since you found me
Lost,lost, lost, lost since you found me
A half of tank of Texaco
You're sitting with your feet on the dash fiddling with the radio
Take a lift at the edge of town out where the roads ain't paved
And if we never find our way back it doesn't matter anyway
('Cause/But) I've been lost since you found me
Head our heart and soul
As long as your arms are around me
It don't matter where we go
I'm right where I always dreamed that I would be
Lost since you found me
We can go to the Oklahoma
Take a swim if it gets too hot
Or have an ice cold coca cola at the whistle stop
I never notice that little white house with a for sale sign
And I've been up and down this road about a million times
('Cause/But) I've been lost since you found me
Head our heart and soul
As long as your arms are around me
It don't matter where we go
I'm right where I always dreamed that I would be
Lost since you found me
Every since you came in sight
I don't know my left from right
Where I start or where you end
Baby,all I know is
('Cause/But) I've been lost since you found me
Head our heart and soul
As long as your arms are around me
It don't matter where we go
I'm right where I always dreamed that I would be
Lost since you found me
Since you found me
Lost since you found me
I've been lost since you found me
Ooooo, since you found me
Lost,lost, lost, lost since you found me

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
