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.
Ba-bada, oh, yeah
(Ah) I got a new life
You would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad
How can a person like me care for you?
(Ah) Why do I bother, when you're not the one for me?
Ooh-ooh
Is enough, enough?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?
(Ah) Under the pale moon
For so many years I wondered who you are
How could a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon, where I see a lot of stars
Ooh-ooh
Is enough, enough?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?
Oh, oh-oh
I saw the sign and it opened up my mind
And I am happy now living without you
I've left you, oh, oh-oh
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign) I saw the sign
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign)
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign) I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
(Ah) I got a new life
You would hardly recognize me, I'm so glad
How can a person like me care for you?
(Ah) Why do I bother, when you're not the one for me?
Ooh-ooh
Is enough, enough?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?
(Ah) Under the pale moon
For so many years I wondered who you are
How could a person like you bring me joy?
Under the pale moon, where I see a lot of stars
Ooh-ooh
Is enough, enough?
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
Life is demanding without understanding
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
But where do you belong?
Oh, oh-oh
I saw the sign and it opened up my mind
And I am happy now living without you
I've left you, oh, oh-oh
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign
No one's gonna drag you up
To get into the light where you belong
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign) I saw the sign
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign)
(I saw the sign, I saw the sign) I saw the sign
And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
This song brings back so many memories of the roller rink in like 3rd grade...my friend now only has tape deck in her car, so we're very limited to the songs we can play, but she has this cassette, so we'll listen to it with the windows down and blast it!!! Now that I'm older I realize this song is about the reason I broke up with my boyfriend!!
