He certainly did earn that reputation.
Hello Governor
A word with you today
You wanna start a revolution?
Well, I will show you each and every way
Yes, Drill Sergeant, the men are in line
If I could be anyone, anywhere today
If I could not, then I would
If I was an aero stow crate
If I could not die
Hello Father
A word with you today
God knows I can not do it alone
But I will do it each and every way
Yes, Drill Sergeant, the men are all dead
If I could be anyone, anywhere today
If I could not, then I would
If I was an aero plane
If I could not fly
You could be my friend if you wanted to, to be abused
I will hold you hand until the bitter end, and I will drag the noose
You could be my friend
I cut, cut, cut you to the core!

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
Holiday

@[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.
This is what I got:
Hello governor A word with you today You wanna start a revolution, well I will show you each and every way. Yes, drill sergeant, the men are in line. If I could be anyone, anywhere, today. If I could not die, could not die, could not Then I would, I would
If I was an aristocrat If I could not, I could not, I could not die.
Hello, brother, A word with you today God knows I cannot do it alone Well, I will do it each and every way
And, yes, drill sergeant, The men are all dead. If I could be anyone, anywhere, today If I could not fly, could not fly, Could not Then I would, I would
If I was an aeroplane If I could not I could I could not I could not fly
And you could be my friend If you wanted to To be abused, oh I will hold your hand Until the bitter end And I will drag the noose, oh You could be my friend And I could cut you to the core To the core, to the core To the core, oh!
You could be my friend if you wanted to To be abused, oh And I will hold your hand until the bitter end And I will drag the noose, oh. You could be my friend And I could cut you to the core To the core, to the core To the, to the core

Six Good Friends actually isn't going to be on the new CD. They recorded this song a while back somewhere up north. It was only released as a free downloadable demo and did not make it to any CDs.
Oh and don't expect the new full-length to be out until Summer of '08. They're milking the sales of the Make You Move re-release.
I think it's about America at war... Do you agree, or have a better explanation?
