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.
come back, you know that
you can sleep like a wolf but you'll never keep the winter away
you'll come back, you know that
you can sleep with all the lads but you'll never keep the sadness away
oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time
oh, oh oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time
we'll find out what you've been called
every single soul and every single heart you fixed
there's nowhere they're safe here
so you better stick around and deal with all the hearts you killed
ooh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time, no.
oh, oh oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time, no !
no, no, no, no, no
oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time.
you can sleep like a wolf but you'll never keep the winter away
you'll come back, you know that
you can sleep with all the lads but you'll never keep the sadness away
oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time
oh, oh oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time
we'll find out what you've been called
every single soul and every single heart you fixed
there's nowhere they're safe here
so you better stick around and deal with all the hearts you killed
ooh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time, no.
oh, oh oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time, no !
no, no, no, no, no
oh, what a nice surprise
no one said it sweeter,
sweeter than the first time.

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.

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.
