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.
Well I got this case of beer here
And I ain't feeling like a saint
And we still got places to go
And people's minds to taint
You can try to tell us right from wrong
Or show us which way to go
Our parents tried and they have failed
They showed us all they know
And it's just another tank of gas that we just can't afford
And we know the needle's stuck on E but it's just a few miles more
Cruising around with nothing to do
Think I might go around over to you
Speeding up with the windows down
Heat turned up with Lucero on
Nothing to do and nothing to see
Hey when is life gonna let us be
Sloppy ass drunks running through this town
We'll all come out when the sun goes down
And I get this funny feeling
Whenever it starts to snow
We'll drive all night until the break of light
Looking for somewhere to go
Cruising around all over town
Looking for a place to stay
There's a party up in Waukeeshaw
And Wisconsin's not far away
And there's just something about these roads
That brings me so much pain
Watching the windshield wipers
Beat time against the rain
Watching the sun go down and come back up again
If anybody asks you, the highway ain't your friend
And I ain't feeling like a saint
And we still got places to go
And people's minds to taint
You can try to tell us right from wrong
Or show us which way to go
Our parents tried and they have failed
They showed us all they know
And it's just another tank of gas that we just can't afford
And we know the needle's stuck on E but it's just a few miles more
Cruising around with nothing to do
Think I might go around over to you
Speeding up with the windows down
Heat turned up with Lucero on
Nothing to do and nothing to see
Hey when is life gonna let us be
Sloppy ass drunks running through this town
We'll all come out when the sun goes down
And I get this funny feeling
Whenever it starts to snow
We'll drive all night until the break of light
Looking for somewhere to go
Cruising around all over town
Looking for a place to stay
There's a party up in Waukeeshaw
And Wisconsin's not far away
And there's just something about these roads
That brings me so much pain
Watching the windshield wipers
Beat time against the rain
Watching the sun go down and come back up again
If anybody asks you, the highway ain't your friend

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
