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.
I cannot sleep - the night is young
I cannot eat - I want some fun
I pick you up - Route 66
Life gives me the kick
I cannot live - I love this life
I cannot die - can I survive
I cannot breathe - without your love
I can't get enough
It's the last exit to Brooklyn
New York City, oh is waiting
You're a new boy, you're a party guy
Baby let's dance, and have some joy
West coast, east side, that is the place where
New York, L.A. I wanna live there
New York City boy, L.A. party girl
Baby let's dance, in a brand new world
4 - 6 - 0 - 1 - East Avenue
Why does my heart - beats just for you
I cannot give - you more I'll give
Baby please forgive
I cannot tell - you thousant lies
I have the love - right in my eyes
The night is young - I want your heart
Baby can we start
In between
Hold on, baby, baby hold on
Party up, party up, party up, baby, party up, party up
I can't believe - oh what I see
I can't control - it's extacy
I can't explain - oh what I feel
My dream comes so real
I cannot leave - your love alone
I cannot go - I'm not a stone
I cannot say - good bye to you
When my dream comes true
I cannot eat - I want some fun
I pick you up - Route 66
Life gives me the kick
I cannot live - I love this life
I cannot die - can I survive
I cannot breathe - without your love
I can't get enough
It's the last exit to Brooklyn
New York City, oh is waiting
You're a new boy, you're a party guy
Baby let's dance, and have some joy
West coast, east side, that is the place where
New York, L.A. I wanna live there
New York City boy, L.A. party girl
Baby let's dance, in a brand new world
4 - 6 - 0 - 1 - East Avenue
Why does my heart - beats just for you
I cannot give - you more I'll give
Baby please forgive
I cannot tell - you thousant lies
I have the love - right in my eyes
The night is young - I want your heart
Baby can we start
In between
Hold on, baby, baby hold on
Party up, party up, party up, baby, party up, party up
I can't believe - oh what I see
I can't control - it's extacy
I can't explain - oh what I feel
My dream comes so real
I cannot leave - your love alone
I cannot go - I'm not a stone
I cannot say - good bye to you
When my dream comes true

@[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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
I don't know what's up with LyricFind, but this song must be a different version. Here's the one on 'The Very Best Of' album. the one displayed has spelling errors 'thousant lies'. What the heck? Well I won't bother reporting this because they'll never process it. So here you go!
