He certainly did earn that reputation.
So you came like a missile
Falling on my head with the black sky
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Then you came with your breeze blocks
Smashing up my face like a bus stop
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
With the best of intentions
You tried to give an ocean directions
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
So you came like a missile
Leaving me the whole world in exile
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Falling on my head with the black sky
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Then you came with your breeze blocks
Smashing up my face like a bus stop
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
With the best of intentions
You tried to give an ocean directions
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
So you came like a missile
Leaving me the whole world in exile
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Like the drunk you convinced was sober
You keep me falling over
In the daylight
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away
Think you're giving but you're taking my life away

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.

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
