Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
I should of let go when I saw (?)
That girls got issues I don't wanna be next
In line for a ride I'm not tall enough for
When she showed me her purse I shoulda showed her the door
'cause she don't care about no one
And who knows when she'll come undone
Oh won't that be a lot of fun oh
she says she want's to get too know me better
(?) with a suicide letter
She smiled and said it's just a joke
But I don't think she's blowin' smoke
oh oh the girls go crazy
Oh no I don't mean maybe
Oh oh the girls go crazy
Makes me wanna swear of love for ever
Oh oh oh yeah
I saw her down at the market square
She called me over (?)
(?)
(?)
she lied and said she was (?)
But I don't think (?)
'cause that's no excuse why she's not sweet
She used to be a normal girl
But she's escaped to her own world
There's someone there she's gotta (?)
That girls got issues I don't wanna be next
In line for a ride I'm not tall enough for
When she showed me her purse I shoulda showed her the door
'cause she don't care about no one
And who knows when she'll come undone
Oh won't that be a lot of fun oh
she says she want's to get too know me better
(?) with a suicide letter
She smiled and said it's just a joke
But I don't think she's blowin' smoke
oh oh the girls go crazy
Oh no I don't mean maybe
Oh oh the girls go crazy
Makes me wanna swear of love for ever
Oh oh oh yeah
I saw her down at the market square
She called me over (?)
(?)
(?)
she lied and said she was (?)
But I don't think (?)
'cause that's no excuse why she's not sweet
She used to be a normal girl
But she's escaped to her own world
There's someone there she's gotta (?)

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,
