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.
You never say what you feel,
You're like a cog in a wheel
You better be quiet, never rebel or riot
Could it be that you are free?
When their eyes can see
What you're doing all day long,
Whistle hum or sing a song
Don't start to run, they've got a gun
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
You come home early, you come home late,
There's only someone who will wait
Someone knows if you're for or against,
What you think and what you say
They try to look inside your head,
You're in a cage until you're dead
You never say what you feel,
You're like a cog in a wheel
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Don't be afraid,
Try to escape
Don't be afraid,
Try to escape
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
You're like a cog in a wheel
You better be quiet, never rebel or riot
Could it be that you are free?
When their eyes can see
What you're doing all day long,
Whistle hum or sing a song
Don't start to run, they've got a gun
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you
You come home early, you come home late,
There's only someone who will wait
Someone knows if you're for or against,
What you think and what you say
They try to look inside your head,
You're in a cage until you're dead
You never say what you feel,
You're like a cog in a wheel
Whatever you say,
Whatever you do,
Agent X is watching you

Don't be afraid,

Don't be afraid,
Try to escape

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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
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
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.
