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.
Look up, look where you want to be
Look left, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me up with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
Look left, look where you want to be
Look up, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, you're sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve..but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
Look left, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me up with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright
Look left, look where you want to be
Look up, look where you left me
I should have known by the ice in his eye
But you warmed me with your so sweet demise
Nestled in your calculated moon shine
Boy you give good,
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, you're sleeve
Love, plastic love, you're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve..but me
Papa oh Papa tonight, Papa oh ill be alright

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
Vanessa said in a concert in '02/'03 on november 11th that the song isn't about her dad, so it must be a father like figure or some nuturing part of life. Blue sleeves. Blue usually conveys tranquility and peace so a sense of security I think. :) Papa = security.
