its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Sittin' in a movie
And I'm starin' at the screen
They're draggin' Jesus from the town
It don't look good to me
Well, if I had a bucket
I'll bet He had a spoon
I'd go down to that river bed
I'd bring that river home to you
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Lovers rode the wheels
Right off the gravy train
They could've shot that mother down
But they didn't, just the same
Oh, and the women threw their panties
And the women threw their bras
Elvis hung his head and said
"They'll forget me when I'm gone, when I'm gone"
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Oh, would you love me?
Would you really love me?
I was afraid you wouldn't answer
Did I wake you up?
Listen, I still got this box of band aids here
I'm not bleedin' to patch things up
Oh, there's still some at the bottom
Yeah, I got the box right here
Man, if I could hold that moment to my chest
I swear I'd disappear
Oh, would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Alright
And I'm starin' at the screen
They're draggin' Jesus from the town
It don't look good to me
Well, if I had a bucket
I'll bet He had a spoon
I'd go down to that river bed
I'd bring that river home to you
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Lovers rode the wheels
Right off the gravy train
They could've shot that mother down
But they didn't, just the same
Oh, and the women threw their panties
And the women threw their bras
Elvis hung his head and said
"They'll forget me when I'm gone, when I'm gone"
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Oh, would you love me?
Would you really love me?
I was afraid you wouldn't answer
Did I wake you up?
Listen, I still got this box of band aids here
I'm not bleedin' to patch things up
Oh, there's still some at the bottom
Yeah, I got the box right here
Man, if I could hold that moment to my chest
I swear I'd disappear
Oh, would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Would you love me?
Would you really love me?
Alright

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

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.

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.
