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're the kind of girl who studied in school
And practiced your fashion
You're the kind of girl who followed the the rules
And couldn't get any action
I'm the girl who
Laughed at teacher
Partied under the bleachers and drank
At graduation
My name got mentioned
The had acted like there'd a been a mistake
Well I stood up
And I commenced
To speak the commencement speech
I stood up in my robes of silk
Mmm, and I looked over the heads of the crowd and I told her
I've got the answer here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
You're the guy who wears the right kind of clothes
With that subtle behavior
I'm the kind of woman who knows
How to get someone to do me a favor
I'm in trouble
You're not a lover
You feel the world through a telephone touch
You've made some money
Congratulations
Bet you're dying to tell me how much
When I was a little girl
My mama gave me a bowl cut and told me I looked like Dorothy Hamill
Everywhere we went people would say, "What a cute little boy!"
Well I'm all grown up now
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
Come feel the power
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
I'm not done
Come feel the power
Come feel the power
Come, come, come feel the power
And practiced your fashion
You're the kind of girl who followed the the rules
And couldn't get any action
I'm the girl who
Laughed at teacher
Partied under the bleachers and drank
At graduation
My name got mentioned
The had acted like there'd a been a mistake
Well I stood up
And I commenced
To speak the commencement speech
I stood up in my robes of silk
Mmm, and I looked over the heads of the crowd and I told her
I've got the answer here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
You're the guy who wears the right kind of clothes
With that subtle behavior
I'm the kind of woman who knows
How to get someone to do me a favor
I'm in trouble
You're not a lover
You feel the world through a telephone touch
You've made some money

Well I'm all grown up now
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
Come feel the power
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
I've got the power here inside of myself
Come feel the power
I'm not done
Come feel the power
Come feel the power
Come, come, come feel the power

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
