its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Ain't another woman that can take your spot
My
If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do?)
If I told you you were beautiful
Would you date me on the regular? (tell me, would you?)
Well, baby, I've been around the world
But I ain't seen myself another girl (like you)
This ring here represents my heart
But there's just one thing I need from you (saying "I do")
Because I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting in the grass, laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy
See all I want you to do is be my love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love, girl, my love, my love
Now if I wrote you a love note
And made you smile with every word I wrote (what would you do?)
Would that make you wanna change your scene
And wanna be the one on my team? (tell me, would you?)
See what's the point in waiting anymore
'Cause, girl, I've never been more sure (that, baby, it's you)
This ring here represents my heart
And everything that you been waiting for (just saying "I do")
Because I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting in the grass, laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy
See all I want you to do is be my love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love, girl, my love, my love
Aight, it's time to get it, JT
I don't what you hesitatin' for, man
Shawty cool as a fan, on the move once again
But he still has fans from Peru to Japan
Hey, listen, baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan (nah)
But if you got a man, try to lose him if you can
'Cause the girls worldwide throw they hands up high
When you wanna come and kick it with a stand-up guy
You don't really wanna let the chance go by
'Cause you ain't been seen with a man so fly
And, babe, with friends so fly, I can go fly
Private, 'cause I handle my B.I
They call me Candle Guy (why?)
Simply 'cause I am on fire (haha)
I hate to have to cancel my vacation, so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I ain't gon' try (nah)
You don't come, I ain't gon' die
Hold up, what you mean you can't go? Why? (why?)
Me and your boyfriend, we ain't no tie (uh-huh)
You say you wanna kick it when I ain't so high (man)
Baby, it's obvious that I ain't yo guy
I ain't gon' lie, I'll fill your space
And forget your face, I swear I will
St. Barths, Anguilla, anywhere I chill (nice)
Just bring with me any pair, I will
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting in the grass, laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady, girl, you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy
See all I want you to do is be my love (love)
My love (love)
My love (love)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love (love)
My love (love)
My love (love)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot
My love, girl, my love, my love

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

This is what I think.
A man loves a woman. Or at least he thinks he does. JT and TI represent two competing halves of the man's psyche. JT's lyrics are about the heady sensation of being in love, and the rush of wooing her. He's using lots of clichéd courting imagery; the "symphony", "love notes", long "walks on the beach"/in "the countryside", and even proposing to her. His singing is high, floaty and melodic, evocative of the high-handed and stereotypically "lovey" mood he describes. It is romantic, but unrealistic - this half of the man's mood is naive, and even as childish as an appeal of "Would you date me on the regular?"
However, TI gives the harsh voice of reason, rapidly and deeply cutting through with the reality of the situation; the man is successful, and there are plenty of other women out there. He is even frustrated by the subject's inability to comprehend this. Contrasting with the floaty falsetto of JT's lyrics, TI raps quickly and with a deeper tone of voice. While JT is all about the woman, TI is realistic, and takes into account his own success.
The conclusion of this internal argument is absent - the battle will rage within the man, leaving only an ironic echo of the request; All he wants her to do is be his love.
