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.
Honey it's getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow, make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door invite me around
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, yeah, hahahahaha
Honey it's getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your knees honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know, you know I'm coming soon
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
So pick up your foolish pride
No going back
No where, no way, no place to hide
Let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
To the slaughter
Bring your daughter
Fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter
Fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter
Fetch your daughter to the slaughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Oh, coming to getcha
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow, make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door invite me around
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, yeah, hahahahaha
Honey it's getting close to daybreak

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,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this song is actually about groupies. Anybody who's been to a Maiden show knows the crowds can get pretty physical. Basically I think it's about a girl going to a Maiden show as a way of rebellion. If I'm not mistaken, in 1990 the Riot Grrl movement of all girl rock bands was starting to take off. Maybe this could be a reference to that as well? In fact, there was a Riot Grrl band, The Gits, that referenced Iron Maiden in one of their songs, Slaughter of Bruce. Basically they wrote the song from Bruce's point of view when he was leaving Iron Maiden in 1993.
fekkin great tune. great band. Up The Irons!
I think that the song is about the ancient Greek Agamemnon, who had to sacrifice his daughter, Iphinginia, to get a favourable wind so he could sail his army to Troy. His daughter was saved at the last minure by Athena with a stag in her place, but that didn't stop Agamemnon's wife, Clytemnestra, from killing him when he got back from Troy. Typical, survives 10 years war, and then gets killed by his own wife. I think this song actually was Christmas number 1, if you look on the inside of one of the covers of one of the albums, it say got to number one before Christmas and stayed there for 2 weeks, or something. But that muight just be my imagination.
The only people who would put this up for worst song of the yar would be morons who are trying to get metal out of the charts. Oh, and it definately says on the inside of the No Prayer for the Dying sleeve that this got to number 1 on December 24th and stayed there for 2 weeks. That makes it Christmas number 1.
this song is badass. fuck what other people thinks.
this song went to number one as (sum would will say) a result of one of the pioneering "fixing" of a record makin it a hit, releasing it a couple weeks after christmas or sumthing where not many records are released hell it would of gone no 1. any way!!!! LET HER GO
lol the videos great too b/w B-movie horror lol tis kool
Funny how this is not a very popular Maiden song, yet it's one of if not the only to go the #1 on the charts (England chats, mind you). It's also on what many Maiden fans consider the weakest Bruce album, yet that one debuted rather high in england as well. Great song, though.
@EvilLawyer Well, a song that would get mainstream success is often not the one the fans like. It mainly got to #1 because they released it at a time of year not many singles were released, and it's pretty AC/DCish but not very Iron Maidenish.
As far as I understand, this song (written for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Child) was Bruce Dickinson's take on what the Nightmare movies were really about - adolescent fear of period pains. Seems strange, I know...
Didn't this song win a razzie for worst song of the year. I think I read that somewhere, not sure why, cause it's pretty cool song.
