He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music, no
You need a vacation to wake up the cavemen
And take them to Mexico
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
My body's in shambles
Encrusted with brambles
That sharpen the air I breathe
What's on the menu
Jessica can you
Take down my order, please
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Tomorrow gets closer
A purple bulldozer
Is calling you on the phone
Your love life precedes you
Your son in law feeds you
Injections of cortisone
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music
So where has it gone?
Then, Jessica
It's not in your music, no
You need a vacation to wake up the cavemen
And take them to Mexico
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
My body's in shambles
Encrusted with brambles
That sharpen the air I breathe
What's on the menu
Jessica can you
Take down my order, please
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Tomorrow gets closer
A purple bulldozer
Is calling you on the phone
Your love life precedes you
Your son in law feeds you
Injections of cortisone
Jessica, Jessica Simpson
You've got it all wrong
Your fraudulent smile
The way that you faked it the day that you died
Jessica Simpson, where has your love gone
It's not in your music
So where has it gone?
Then, Jessica

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.

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.

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”
