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.
Talk about the love you're missin'
Maybe then it's true when they say love is blind
I can help you if you listen
I can make you feel good if you just let my try
If everlasting love is what you're waiting for
Then that time for you just has arrived
So here I am come walk right through my door
And be loved for the rest of your life
[Chorus:]
If you talk about good lovin'
Let's talk about the lover in me (shoo do wop)
So don't go talk about no other
Just talk about the lover in me (shoo do wop)
I can give you all the lovin'
But I gotta know that you're there to receive
I can be your only woman
But I gotta feel that I'm all that you need
I'll be your everything and I can give you so much more
And I'll never leave you lonely at night
So here I am come walk right through my door
And be loved for the rest of your life
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Talk about and dream about and think about your lover
Don't talk about or dream about or think about no other
Don't run around all over town searchin' for some other
The love we found won't let us down let's talk about the lover...
I'll be your everything and I can give you so much more
And I'll never leave you lonely at night
So here I am come walk right through my door
And be loved for the rest of your life
(Chorus)
If you talk about and dream about and think about your lover
Don't talk about, think about or dream about no other
Don't run around all over town just searchin' for some other
This love we found won't let us down let's talk about the lover in me
(Chorus with ad-libs)
If you talk about
Maybe then it's true when they say love is blind
I can help you if you listen
I can make you feel good if you just let my try
If everlasting love is what you're waiting for
Then that time for you just has arrived
So here I am come walk right through my door
And be loved for the rest of your life
[Chorus:]
If you talk about good lovin'
Let's talk about the lover in me (shoo do wop)
So don't go talk about no other
Just talk about the lover in me (shoo do wop)
I can give you all the lovin'
But I gotta know that you're there to receive
I can be your only woman
But I gotta feel that I'm all that you need
I'll be your everything and I can give you so much more
And I'll never leave you lonely at night
So here I am come walk right through my door
And be loved for the rest of your life
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Talk about and dream about and think about your lover
Don't talk about or dream about or think about no other
Don't run around all over town searchin' for some other
The love we found won't let us down let's talk about the lover...
I'll be your everything and I can give you so much more
And I'll never leave you lonely at night
So here I am come walk right through my door
And be loved for the rest of your life
(Chorus)
If you talk about and dream about and think about your lover
Don't talk about, think about or dream about no other
Don't run around all over town just searchin' for some other
This love we found won't let us down let's talk about the lover in me
(Chorus with ad-libs)

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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/
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
