Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I never knew that I was dealing with a graduate
With a major in defensive and a minor in excuses
It's not that hard to say you're wrong, admit oh, go on, go on
You know I wouldn't want to make you feel worse than you should
But if you were me you'd do the same (you know you would, you know you would)
It's not that hard to say you're wrong, admit oh, go on, go on
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
I know you know it's all your fault and I should let this go
But I need to hear you say it love
(it's principle, it's principle)
It's not that hard to say you're wrong, admit it oh, go on, go on
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
That I was right and you were wrong, go on, go on (go on, go on)
It would mean everything
(but you're so smart with those clever eyes)
So I tell you that I love you, and blow you a kiss
(but until you say you're sorry, well that's all you're gonna get)
Oh, that's all you gonna get, oh...
oh oh oh...(x2)
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
That I was right and you were wrong, it's no that hard, go on, go on
With a major in defensive and a minor in excuses
It's not that hard to say you're wrong, admit oh, go on, go on
You know I wouldn't want to make you feel worse than you should

It's not that hard to say you're wrong, admit oh, go on, go on

That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on
It'd mean everything just to hear you say to me
That I was right and you were wrong, it's not that hard, go on, go on

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Great song, fun to sing to. =))
