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'm back in my house
And you're still sitting down
The crimson couch
Has never felt so uncomfortable
And the room is so cold
The tape on your mouth
Is slowing your breath down
The rope is still tight
The tension becomes so tangible
So unbearable, so unbearable
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
I'm sorry if I crossed the line
I know I've lost it but
You are always on my mind
Obsessed with you and me
To love is harder than you think
I'm sorry if I raise my voice
I never meant to hurt you
But I had no choice
Don't ever lie to me
'Cause I am smarter than you think
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
There's no running away
There's no guilt and no shame
I've crossed the line
Is this the end?
There's no running away
Even if you're afraid
I'll make you mine
Until the end
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
There's no running away
There's no guilt and no shame
I've crossed the line
Is this the end?
'Cause no running away
Even if you're afraid
I'll make you mine
Until the end
You love me 'cause I hate you
And you're still sitting down
The crimson couch
Has never felt so uncomfortable
And the room is so cold
The tape on your mouth
Is slowing your breath down
The rope is still tight
The tension becomes so tangible
So unbearable, so unbearable
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
I'm sorry if I crossed the line
I know I've lost it but
You are always on my mind
Obsessed with you and me
To love is harder than you think
I'm sorry if I raise my voice
I never meant to hurt you
But I had no choice
Don't ever lie to me
'Cause I am smarter than you think
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
There's no running away
There's no guilt and no shame
I've crossed the line
Is this the end?
There's no running away
Even if you're afraid
I'll make you mine
Until the end
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
You love me 'cause I hate you
(Everything but love)
There's no running away
There's no guilt and no shame
I've crossed the line
Is this the end?
'Cause no running away
Even if you're afraid
I'll make you mine
Until the end
You love me 'cause I hate you

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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,
