He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
What if there's no more fun to have?
And all I got is what I've had?
What if I have forgotten how?
Cut my losses and get out now
Get out, right now!
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
It is the hardest thing to
To watch it grow on top of you
And see you're just like everyone
No fun!
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
There's something I don't want to see
I don't speak that language anymore!
My blood is not that color anymore!
My blood don't shine the same way anymore!
I cannot deny it anymore!
No
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
Got a new thing growing in me
There's something I don't want to see
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
And all I got is what I've had?
What if I have forgotten how?
Cut my losses and get out now
Get out, right now!
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
It is the hardest thing to
To watch it grow on top of you
And see you're just like everyone
No fun!
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me
There's something I don't want to see
I don't speak that language anymore!
My blood is not that color anymore!
My blood don't shine the same way anymore!
I cannot deny it anymore!
No
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
Got a new thing growing in me
There's something I don't want to see
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
A new thing growing in me

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.
well this one is pretty self explanatory isn't it? There is the feeling over having no control, having to run, overwhelmed by how things are turning out. its not about a guy, to whom things happens... thats no use really to have lyrics like this. I have the usual bummer to read stuff here, that are just reducing lyrics to some sort of tvsoap storyboards...lol come on, what matters is always and only the feeling you get! something speaking of a common human behavior. this here observasion tells about what anyone experiences in life when losing touch, facing a low, a terrible new thing, unpredicatble making one losing its mind. being unable to point it out, to put your finger on it. your life is just turning all upside down.. but somehow you must keep a grip.. or run away as you can, just for a while.. til you can't hide.
@naivada excellent interpretation! I was thinking the same.
