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.
False pretense
A lack of resonance
A derisive sentiment
And confidence.
These bonds were always fake
Crafted for safety's sake.
But pasted wings,
And foil rings
Do not an angel make.
I see you left me with your,
Your last word.
It's ringing,
With the noteless shrill of jealousy,
And the claims of imperfection,
And the crying out for,
The things that you deserve.
But your voice is never audible
Beneath the anger in your words
It's ringing,
It's breaking me.
You can't belittle this,
This could change everything.
This one is mine to believe.
This is unparalleled,
A grace that's like gravity,
A clarity I've never seen.
I see you've left me with your,
Your last word
It's ringing
With the noteless shrill of jealousy,
And the claims of imperfection
And the crying out for,
The things that you deserve.
But your voice is never audible
Beneath the anger in your words,
It's ringing.
It's breaking me.
But the hottest words can cauterize,
And in anger, there's just wasted time,
So your last words, just another,
I won't hear.
A lack of resonance
A derisive sentiment
And confidence.
These bonds were always fake
Crafted for safety's sake.
But pasted wings,
And foil rings
Do not an angel make.
I see you left me with your,
Your last word.
It's ringing,
With the noteless shrill of jealousy,
And the claims of imperfection,
And the crying out for,
The things that you deserve.
But your voice is never audible
Beneath the anger in your words
It's ringing,
It's breaking me.
You can't belittle this,
This could change everything.
This one is mine to believe.
This is unparalleled,
A grace that's like gravity,
A clarity I've never seen.
I see you've left me with your,
Your last word
It's ringing
With the noteless shrill of jealousy,
And the claims of imperfection
And the crying out for,
The things that you deserve.
But your voice is never audible
Beneath the anger in your words,
It's ringing.
It's breaking me.
But the hottest words can cauterize,
And in anger, there's just wasted time,
So your last words, just another,
I won't hear.

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,
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
but pasted wings and foil rings do not an angel make
