Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
We were a joke, we were fools
Such a disgrace, but I was used
You never kept your promises
But I still believed you
You lied and you cheated
You stole my belongings and threw me away
Believed anything that you said
Put all those doubts in my head, what a loser
Stick around cos life is too short, you said
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You never kept your promises
Kept those promises
Don't change the world, that's what you said
But don't hold a grudge is what you meant
I, I'm reconstructed
With or without you, in spite of our difference
I'm walking away
Believed anything that you said
Put all those doubts in my head, what a loser
Stick around cos life is too short, you said
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You never kept your promises
So keep those promises
We were a joke, we were fools
Such a disgrace, but we were used
And now I've found you said it goes for
For the millions that you'll never use
Anything that you said
Put all those doubts in my head, I'm a loser
Stick around cos life is too short, you said
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You never kept those promises
Kept those promises
So we can move on
Such a disgrace, but I was used
You never kept your promises
But I still believed you
You lied and you cheated
You stole my belongings and threw me away
Believed anything that you said
Put all those doubts in my head, what a loser
Stick around cos life is too short, you said
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You never kept your promises
Kept those promises
Don't change the world, that's what you said
But don't hold a grudge is what you meant
I, I'm reconstructed
With or without you, in spite of our difference
I'm walking away
Believed anything that you said
Put all those doubts in my head, what a loser
Stick around cos life is too short, you said
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You never kept your promises
So keep those promises
We were a joke, we were fools
Such a disgrace, but we were used
And now I've found you said it goes for
For the millions that you'll never use
Anything that you said
Put all those doubts in my head, I'm a loser
Stick around cos life is too short, you said
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You lied to me again
You said we could still be friends
You never kept those promises
Kept those promises
So we can move on

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Don't you just hate it when you see there's just one comment on a song and you check it out hoping to find something out about the song's meaning, only to see that the comment says something like "OMG I luv this tune!"? Well, it's one of those.
