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.
Heartbreak incarnate
I'm nothing if not your memories
Your heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain
Someday I will be, I'll be those common words spoken uniquely
Because I may... will forever be floating as you feel
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past all tear stained and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past all tear stained and wrinkled
(Just say) Say you will for me (for me), invite me to your memory
(Just sing) Sing again for me (for me) that long forgotten song
Heartbreak incarnate
I'm nothing if not your memories
Your heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain
Someday I will be, I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream
Because I will... I may at best, float as you feel
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past all tear stained and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past all tear stained and wrinkled
(Just say) Say you will for me (for me), invite me to your memory
(Just sing) Sing again for me (for me) that long forgotten song

(Just sing) Sing again for me (for me) that long forgotten song
Let me be all the words, let me be all the words
Let me be all the words, let me be all the words
Let me be all the words echoing comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me be all the words echoing comfort (comfort, comfort, comfort)
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay (unsay, unsay, unsay)
Let me be all the words echoing comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me be all the words echoing comfort (comfort, comfort)
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay (unsay, unsay, unsay)

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/

Synesthesia is a wierd condition. It is where when someone mentions the word "TREE", you'll think of a color Red. It is relating thoughts, sounds, and images, to other thoughts, sounds, and images. One person described Synesthesia as "Seeing and Hearing when others are Blind and Death". Makes me jeaulous of people with that Condition, because its like we are missing something.
the first line is
heartbreak, incarnate I'm nothing if not your memories

LOL, It really will be a frosty day in hell when Davey writes "Please let me understand I'm your pillow". I keept hearing people sing that and all I could do was shake my head and try not to laugh too hard. Anyway, thanx for correcting the lyrics!
