its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You said you had my back
But I was attacked by a pack of dogs frothing at the mouth
Stabbed in the face
Glass in my guts, crash
Passed in the passenger's side
You were drunk
And falling, falling, falling, down
You were falling, falling down
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Such a shame, shame shame, shame on you
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Can I blame, blame, blame, blame you?
You cut your feet on the glass
In the grass
Shards got stuck in the past
When the footprints you left didn't last
I through you a bone
But you bit one of my own
I'm gonna do it
Without it
It's appalling, appalling, how short your hair can grow
I know there's a problem
When you gave up
You were gone
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Such a shame, shame, shame, shame on you
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Can I blame, blame, blame, blame you?
You said you had my back
But I was attacked by a pack of dogs frothing at the mouth
Stabbed in the face
Glass in my guts, crash
Passed in the passenger's side
You were drunk
But I was attacked by a pack of dogs frothing at the mouth
Stabbed in the face
Glass in my guts, crash
Passed in the passenger's side
You were drunk
And falling, falling, falling, down
You were falling, falling down
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Such a shame, shame shame, shame on you
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Can I blame, blame, blame, blame you?
You cut your feet on the glass
In the grass
Shards got stuck in the past
When the footprints you left didn't last
I through you a bone
But you bit one of my own
I'm gonna do it
Without it
It's appalling, appalling, how short your hair can grow
I know there's a problem
When you gave up
You were gone
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Such a shame, shame, shame, shame on you
J'aime, j'aime, j'aime, parlez vous
Can I blame, blame, blame, blame you?
You said you had my back
But I was attacked by a pack of dogs frothing at the mouth
Stabbed in the face
Glass in my guts, crash
Passed in the passenger's side
You were drunk

Corpse I Fell In Love With

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.
Even though it's not my opinion, Jamie's stage name with The Unicorns was J'aime Tambeur so i think it's quite within the realm of reason to think that this song concerns him.
