He certainly did earn that reputation.
You know he's not the kind of man who likes to see the world around him
Crumble to a ball around his feet
But he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared
He's the most peculiar man you'll ever meet
You know he's not the king of bedside manor
He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door
He's not the king of bedside manor
He hardly even lives there anymore
He said, excuse me, I hope you don't mind
But I followed you into this shop
And I couldn't help but notice that riding crop
Sticking out of your haversack
Well I, I wouldn't mind riding you bareback
He's subtle on the dance floor and he's suave around the bar
He's a quick draw with a lighter, he's a pseudo movie star
You know he was quite a singer, quite an actor, quite some time ago
He had quite a famous program, late night bedtime tv show
You know he's not the king of bedside manor
He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door
He's not the king of bedside manor
He hardly even lives there anymore
Well he opens up the curtains at the crack of dawn
Just to see the lovely ladies who have come and gone
From the house next door to his house on the lane,
He consoles himself that he's got his health and he knows he can't complain
You know he's not the king of bedside manor (woo, oh, hey)
He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door (not not anymore, no way)
He's not the king of bedside manor
He hardly even lives there anymore
(He's not the king) he's not the King of bedside manor
(Bedside manor) he's not the King of bedside manor (he's not the king)
He hardly even lives there anymore
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
He said domo (domo) domo (domo) domo (domo) domo (domo)
Domo-no-mo-no-mo-no-mo-no-mo-no
He's not the king (he's not the king, he's not the king) of bedside manor
Crumble to a ball around his feet
But he's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared
He's the most peculiar man you'll ever meet
You know he's not the king of bedside manor
He's not the Tom Jones that lives next door
He's not the king of bedside manor
He hardly even lives there anymore
He said, excuse me, I hope you don't mind

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
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.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Holiday

@[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.
