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.
What's up, darlin'?
I been keeping my eye on your movement
I can't see no room for improvement
Why you all over there in your Jack Jones?
You need to let me get behind your backbone
'Cause I'm the man for the job, let me work it
I won't waste no time, I'll make it worth it
One hundred percent, I'll make it perfect
You got a body to die for, let me merk it
Now it's murder on the dance floor
I wanna take this further than the dancefloor
I ain't forceful but I'm still hardcore
You're gonna give me everything I ask for
It's not a long ting, you're a boom ting
Maybe more than a hotel room ting
I'll never know if I just walk past
I really wanna dance so I guess I'll just ask
She ain't no hoe
Look at those thighs, it's in her eyes
She's good to go
She can satisfy my mind, body and soul
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come dance with me
I see you glance at me
That's why I'm asking, b
So let's party, b
Come and dance with me
If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you looking at me
If I'm out on a date
Then I just shut my eyes, then I can't see
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend hold your jar
And dance with me
I see you glance at me
That's why I'm asking, b
So let's party, b
Come and dance with me
Yo, it goes on and on
I see you get excited like this is my song
You think I wanna get involved
You're not wrong
'Cause I been waiting for this moment all night long
So I creep, creep, creep right to your seat
I got my left eye checking out your scenery
I got my right eye right where it needs to be
Don't matter how I look at it
You look good to me
Still, I'm looking for the perfect view
The way I see it, that's right next to you
I know you've probably heard it before but still
I love it when you flex like that for real
So don't stop doing what you do when you do it
I just wanna be a part of it when you do it
I'll feel like a wally if I don't pursue it
And I can't go through it
So let's get to it
She ain't no hoe
Look at those thighs, it's in her eyes
She's good to go
She can satisfy my mind, body and soul
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me
Come dance with me
I see you glance at me
That's why I'm asking, b
So let's party, b
Come and dance with me
I know you didn't come out to stand and stare
You bought new shoes and you did up your hair
You made a real effort tonight and it shows
I can tell by your face you don't wanna be alone
'Cause the mood is right and the time is now
And if you can't do it I'll show you how
All you gotta do is get loose, let go
Just throw a couple shapes
Put your skills on show, oh
If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you looking at me
If I'm out on a date
Then I just shut my eyes, then I can't see
Get away from the bar
Tell your boyfriend hold your jar
And dance with me
I see you glance at me
That's why I'm asking, b
So let's party, b
Come and dance with me
If I'm out on my own
Then I can look at you looking at me
If I'm out on a date

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
it's just "i know you've heard it before but still"
why would they hold a jar?
jar is East London slang for pint.
You got a body to die for let me MERK it
..not work it. Those lyrics posted on this page are wrong -_-.
Haha, very sorry that I was the first person to post this song's lyrics on the internet and managed to get a word wrong - I can see how that would upset you so much. ;]
Thanks for the lyrics ;) I'm absolutely loving this song - it's my ringtone now! I don't really care about the lyrics, just the hot beats and music..... but since this is a song meanings site: this song is about a guy who wants the girl he's eyeing to come and dance with him even though she has a boyfriend (he could have a girlfirend too, but it doesn't matter if he's out on his own). It's how you'd basically feel if you were wasted and saw some hot person looking at you. It's not really cheating if all you do is dance with him / her..........
sick as song.
awesome to dance to.
i love this song. great beats, and chrome sounds hilarious (his accent), at least to an aussie. <br /> incidentally it is also my work out song.<br /> pretentious eh?
Why does he keep calling her "B" ? I understand the rest of the slang and stuff, but not that. Good song though. Love it.
It's just an abbreviation for babe in this context, I think.<br /> But people use it to mean 'brother' and stuff.
Thanks =]
this song is so good to dance to!
