He certainly did earn that reputation.
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Baby, your man done gone
Well, your man done gone
Well, your man done gone, left the county farm
He had his shackles on
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go
Hey

You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog get you way down here
Make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go
Know how I feel right now
My baby leavin', on that midnight train
And I'm cryin'
Baby, please don't go
Oh, baby please don't go
Baby, please don't go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don't go, yeah
Before I be your dog

Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go, yeah
Alright

You know I love you so

He had his shackles on
Baby, please don't go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog to get you way down here
I make you walk alone
Baby, please don't go

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

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.

@[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.
There are many covers of this song.
