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 heard your depression is hurting lately.
A black hole sucking all the hope in your mind.
You carried me for 9 long months.
A blank canvas little baby.
And I guess somehow your weaknesses have influenced & shaped me.
And I will be there for you.
I will fight for you.
And it’s too late to make it out of here.
But would you save all the others?
I heard you got married & had a baby.
To you I’m a path unspoken.
A broken distant maybe.
You underestimate me, you never had to hate me.
But I still understand the truth.
You never could’ve saved me.
I heard you whistling in the garden.
All I ever wanted from you was to hear I had your pardon.
A black hole sucking all the hope in your mind.
You carried me for 9 long months.
A blank canvas little baby.
And I guess somehow your weaknesses have influenced & shaped me.
And I will be there for you.
I will fight for you.
And it’s too late to make it out of here.
But would you save all the others?
I heard you got married & had a baby.
To you I’m a path unspoken.
A broken distant maybe.
You underestimate me, you never had to hate me.
But I still understand the truth.
You never could’ve saved me.
I heard you whistling in the garden.
All I ever wanted from you was to hear I had your pardon.

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/

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.
