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.
This is the story about Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa
Ladies and gentlemen, I've got a little story to tell
About Mona Lisa and how she suddenly fell
See everyone knew her, they knew her oh so well
Now I am taking over to release her from her spell
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone
She was taken under drowning in her sea
Running like an angel, she was crying and could not see, oh no
Now see everyone's watching as she starts to fall
They want her to breakdown be a legend of her fall
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
She's been gone, she's been gone, she's been gone
Ladies does that make you cry?
Mona Lisa's got to fly, nobody really dies
Everyone, may we have a moment of silence right here
God
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home
She's the original
She's unforgettable
She wants you to know
She's been gone
It's kind of incredible
She's so unpredictable
She wants you to know
That she's home, that she's home, that she's home

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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
ahh what a disgrace to the painting...sigh :)
