its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Well, I've seen you hanging round and round
On the streets with something on your mind
Don't you think that I'm being fresh?
Only want to lay with you
Promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
Well, I don't want you to think I'm being obscene
When I say, say, say I wanna hold your hand
Feelin' kinda cold,need somethin' hot to hold
Only wanna lay with you
Promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
Fish, fish
Well, I've seen you hangin' round and round
On the streets with somethin' that's on your mind
Don't you think that I'm being fresh
Only wanna lay with you
Promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
I said fish
I said fish
On the streets with something on your mind
Don't you think that I'm being fresh?
Only want to lay with you
Promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
Well, I don't want you to think I'm being obscene
When I say, say, say I wanna hold your hand
Feelin' kinda cold,need somethin' hot to hold
Only wanna lay with you
Promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
Fish, fish
Well, I've seen you hangin' round and round
On the streets with somethin' that's on your mind
Don't you think that I'm being fresh
Only wanna lay with you
Promise you won't smell no fish
I said fish
I said fish
I said fish

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
