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.
Children roam these empty streets
With lust filled eyes and jagged hearts
Narrow frames and crooked teeth
The whole more valuable than each part
And the grasp you have upon this group
Is as fragile as a pile of ash
They know your lies and weakness
With each open hand you bluntly lash
Oh, these soft legged girls
And hard faced boys
They know no God
They have no voice
So what is this I see?
There is nothing but anger
Burning inside of me
Oh, these soft legged girls (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
Girls with fire in their eyes
Boys with will and aim that's true
Living in a jilted world
Contempt spreads just like the flu
So let's all take some solace
In one thing that we all can trust
Adults can be fucked up, too
Sometimes even more than us
Oh, these soft legged girl (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
And sing along
With lust filled eyes and jagged hearts
Narrow frames and crooked teeth
The whole more valuable than each part
And the grasp you have upon this group
Is as fragile as a pile of ash
They know your lies and weakness
With each open hand you bluntly lash
Oh, these soft legged girls
And hard faced boys
They know no God
They have no voice
So what is this I see?
There is nothing but anger
Burning inside of me
Oh, these soft legged girls (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
Girls with fire in their eyes
Boys with will and aim that's true
Living in a jilted world
Contempt spreads just like the flu
So let's all take some solace
In one thing that we all can trust
Adults can be fucked up, too
Sometimes even more than us
Oh, these soft legged girl (do you wish to feel complete?)
And hard faced boys
(Say you want it, you need it) They know no God
They have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We have no voice
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
We are the sound
We don't belong
So raise up your hands
And sing along
And sing along

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
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/
although this song is awesome , and thank you for putting the full version up... its not necessary to note who is singing each part of the song.
