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.
Got a feelin' comin' from inside
A love for you my friends that I can't hide
And on these words that come I hope you ride
And I hope that my feelin' and meanings come through
One short moment and I knew you
Like lookin' in a mirror I looked through you
My night time rider has flown to you
And I hope you can see me like I've been seein' you
This is a song of your hand
Written so you would understand
A special feelin' taken by my stand
And I know you're goin' to love me like I've been loving you
And because you had a hand to lend
And you know the sands of time are just made of sand
Even though you might be in another land
I know I am with you forever my friend
A love for you my friends that I can't hide
And on these words that come I hope you ride
And I hope that my feelin' and meanings come through
One short moment and I knew you
Like lookin' in a mirror I looked through you
My night time rider has flown to you
And I hope you can see me like I've been seein' you
This is a song of your hand
Written so you would understand
A special feelin' taken by my stand
And I know you're goin' to love me like I've been loving you
And because you had a hand to lend
And you know the sands of time are just made of sand
Even though you might be in another land
I know I am with you forever my friend

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Just A Little Lovin'
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Beautiful song, written by Skip Spence but recorded after he was out of the band, late autumn 1966, during the 'Surrealistic Pillow' sessions. Sums up Haight Ashbury, 1966, before the 'summer of love' hype of '67 destroyed the scene. Love, peace, good music, and good vibes with no snark or irony or cynicism connected with those terms. Not included for some reason in original release of 'Surrealistic Pillow' and not released until the later JA anthology 'Early Flight' in '73 or '74, by which time it was already a nostalgia piece. EF version has Grace Slick's vocals more prominent, equal with Marty Balin's. CD issues of 'Surrealistic Pillow' starting in the '80s or '90s have a different mix with Grace's vocal pushed to the background rather than of equal tone and volume with Marty's.
