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 just can't help believing when she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning and a promise of tomorrow in her eyes
And I just can't help believing when she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs.
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day.
I just can't help believing when she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless that my fingers fold around it like a glove
And I just can't help believing when she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love.
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day.
For more than just a day
(I just can't help believing)
(I just can't help believing)
(I just can't help believing).
With a trace of misty morning and a promise of tomorrow in her eyes
And I just can't help believing when she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs.
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day.
I just can't help believing when she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless that my fingers fold around it like a glove
And I just can't help believing when she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love.
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day.
For more than just a day
(I just can't help believing)
(I just can't help believing)
(I just can't help believing).

@[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.

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/
