He certainly did earn that reputation.
I don't know where
I'm gonna live
Don't know if I'll find a place
I'd have to think about it some
Amd that I do not wish to face
I guess that I'm counting on his
Divine intervention
I cannot understand my god
I don't know why it gets to me
One day my life
Is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine intervention
Alright
We're all counting on his...
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Hmm now he love us?
I look around
And all I see is destruction
We're all counting on his
Divine intervention
When he comes the sun shine
When he comes the sun shine
Sunshine, the sunshine
Here it comes...
I'm gonna live
Don't know if I'll find a place
I'd have to think about it some
Amd that I do not wish to face
I guess that I'm counting on his
Divine intervention
I cannot understand my god
I don't know why it gets to me
One day my life
Is filled with joy
And then we find we disagree
All depending on his
Divine intervention
Alright
We're all counting on his...
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Does he love us?
Hmm now he love us?
I look around
And all I see is destruction
We're all counting on his
Divine intervention
When he comes the sun shine
When he comes the sun shine
Sunshine, the sunshine
Here it comes...

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.
Not that I disagree wit you musicgenius, but how do you know Matthew is an Atheist? I don't think Matt would poke fun at someone else's religion. Also, there are lines in Evangeline that make me believe Mr. Sweet believes in something. Whether or not it's God, I don't know.
