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.
It's a kick in the teeth
Can make it hard to smile
I'm turning to a dirty dastard style
What...there ain't no use in crying
So I just keep on trying
And the heartache would be fun
But I just can't get my head around what you want
Oh yeah
Killing time waiting for tomorrow
Well I can't sleep take my pills of sorrow
Well I don't...
Well I just keep on trying
And the heartache would be fun
But I just can't get my head round what you
What you want
Well kicking teeth
Broken glass went flying
It's a fucking cheek...
You cut me down but there ain't no use in crying
So I just keep on trying
The heartache would be fun
But I just can't get my head round what you
Oh, what you want
What you want
Don't know what you want
What you want
Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want
Can make it hard to smile
I'm turning to a dirty dastard style
What...there ain't no use in crying
So I just keep on trying
And the heartache would be fun
But I just can't get my head around what you want
Oh yeah
Killing time waiting for tomorrow
Well I can't sleep take my pills of sorrow
Well I don't...
Well I just keep on trying
And the heartache would be fun
But I just can't get my head round what you
What you want
Well kicking teeth
Broken glass went flying
It's a fucking cheek...
You cut me down but there ain't no use in crying
So I just keep on trying
The heartache would be fun
But I just can't get my head round what you
Oh, what you want
What you want
Don't know what you want
What you want
Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I think this song is for old fans of Supergrass. :)) It is brilliant of course as everything of Supergrass. It is similar to their previous works.
