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.
Try to save it but it doesn't come off the rug
Try to build a wall that is high enough
It's all boiling over
It's all boiling over
Try to save your house
Try to save your songs
Try to run but it follows you up a hill
It's all boiling over
It's all boiling over
Your loved ones
Your loved ones
A normal conversation
A normal conversation
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
All the rooms renumbered
And losers turned away
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
Don't turn away
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
Don't turn away
Try to build a wall that is high enough
It's all boiling over
It's all boiling over
Try to save your house
Try to save your songs
Try to run but it follows you up a hill
It's all boiling over
It's all boiling over
Your loved ones
Your loved ones
A normal conversation
A normal conversation
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
All the rooms renumbered
And losers turned away
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
Don't turn away
(you should have took me out when you had the chance)
Don't turn away

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,

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.
"all the rooms renumbered, losers turned away, shouldn't turn away"
i believe this refers to less fortunate people trying to escape the floods and being turned away from hotels and houses through lack of money, or whatever the currency in such an emergency may be. people would naturally want to seek shelter and shouldn't be excluded on such superficial grounds but of course they would be, and left to their own fate.
