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 alarm rings and i wake up at 8
just in time to have a fat cat down on my back
he's smiling, though my life ain't that great
its surprising the things you do for money
one day i'll be the boss of my own, in a, skyscraper, a tall blond secretary
till then, i'll have to suffer alone with you good, good people, ain't life rosey
Don't walk around like that
it's alarming how you spend every day
Be a target to a boss thats down on your back *
he's barking all these orders my way
it's surprising that they'd never seem to worry
all day, i'm just surrounded alone, with a, pin striped, and a pink ties necessary
i'm looking at the clock as it rocks and again, till the morning, ain't life rosey
Don't walk around like that
Don't walk around like that
Don't walk around like that
take 2 steps back
one day i'll be the boss of my own,in a, skyscraper, a tall blond secretary
till then, i'll have to suffer alone with you good, good people, aint life rosey
the alarm rings and i wake up at 8
just in time to have a fat cat down on my back
he's smiling, though my life ain't that great
it's surprising the things you do for money
just in time to have a fat cat down on my back
he's smiling, though my life ain't that great
its surprising the things you do for money
one day i'll be the boss of my own, in a, skyscraper, a tall blond secretary
till then, i'll have to suffer alone with you good, good people, ain't life rosey
Don't walk around like that
it's alarming how you spend every day
Be a target to a boss thats down on your back *
he's barking all these orders my way
it's surprising that they'd never seem to worry
all day, i'm just surrounded alone, with a, pin striped, and a pink ties necessary
i'm looking at the clock as it rocks and again, till the morning, ain't life rosey
Don't walk around like that
Don't walk around like that
Don't walk around like that
take 2 steps back
one day i'll be the boss of my own,in a, skyscraper, a tall blond secretary
till then, i'll have to suffer alone with you good, good people, aint life rosey
the alarm rings and i wake up at 8
just in time to have a fat cat down on my back

it's surprising the things you do for money

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."
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.
great song ,discovered it only when i have had the album for long time, anyhow kind of depressive.. guess the lyrics speak for itself
