its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
When I come home you telephone
To say you're waiting for me
I ask you why, I hear you cry
But you're still waiting for me
Someday you'll be shedding your tears
To cry over me
Someday I'll be losing this fear
Now I'm alone, you telephone
To tell me you don't need me
I ask you why, you tell me lies
And say the truth would hurt me
Ooh, someday you'll be shedding your tears
To cry over me
Someday I'll be losing this fear
Oh, oh someday
Down in the street where lovers meet
That's where I'm waiting for you
In the streets where lovers meet
I'm still waiting for you
Ooh someday you'll be shedding your tears
And then you'll cry over me (cry over me)
Someday I'll be losing this fear, oh
Someday you'll be shedding your tears
And then you'll cry over me (cry over me)
Someday I'll be losing this fear, oh
To say you're waiting for me
I ask you why, I hear you cry
But you're still waiting for me
Someday you'll be shedding your tears
To cry over me
Someday I'll be losing this fear
Now I'm alone, you telephone
To tell me you don't need me
I ask you why, you tell me lies
And say the truth would hurt me
Ooh, someday you'll be shedding your tears
To cry over me
Someday I'll be losing this fear
Oh, oh someday
Down in the street where lovers meet
That's where I'm waiting for you
In the streets where lovers meet
I'm still waiting for you
Ooh someday you'll be shedding your tears
And then you'll cry over me (cry over me)
Someday I'll be losing this fear, oh
Someday you'll be shedding your tears
And then you'll cry over me (cry over me)
Someday I'll be losing this fear, oh

He certainly did earn that reputation.

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This song is just so emotional, it kicks so much ass! no comments , pity ..
I love this song!
Great song from my youth
