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?
It's kinda hard to wear high heels, or slip on banana peels, how does she get in and out of tubs
I hope she doesn't get mad, I hope she thinks this song is good not bad
'cause we think that she's totally rad, she's Nubs
No fingers no toes she doesn't own elbows, no phalanges no knobby knees to knock
She doesn't need knuckles or hands to go see punk rock bands, she's always in the stands, she's Nubs
She can't pick up a phone, she can't get dressed alone, she's got no funny bone, she's Nubs
No shoes no feet but we sure do think she's neat, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs
I asked her if she wanted a drink, I asked her if she liked Toronto, I asked her to go to the bar
But all she said was no thanks, no and no
It was time for her to leave, so I grabbed and shook her sleeve, and told her I'd see her at the next club
She got into a pack, some guy put her on his back, she said goodbye and kinda waved her stub
She's got beautiful eyes, and breasts regular size, but without calves and thighs she's Nubs
It's hard to give good head or get tied to a bed, when all you've got is a body and head, she's Nubs
She's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs, she's Nubs
She may not walk the walk, she may not like to talk, but bopy does she know how to rock
She's Nubs

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”

@[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.
This song is about Tali Osbourne an inspirational speaker who was born without arms and is missing bones in her legs. I met Tali at a summer camp she was very kind and told me that this song was written about her by NOFX. It was amazing to see someone without arms we would think struggle with putting on a coat, texting, or eating chocolate cake do so with ease.
