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.
Hey boys, Miss Magic is back
No Hollywood waste or tinsel trash
Street kid, she's no stray cat
Heaven on legs she's feline flash
Takes a good woman to play a good man
And no one plays like heaven can
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Hey guys, Miss Magic is mine
No silicone smile she's a vintage wine
Bombshell blond, red lipstick on
Aquiline fine, she's a real wild one
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no
She got the rhythm to drive me crazy
She got the rhythm of love
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
The lights are out
But there's somebody home
Better watch out when
We're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl she makes dreams come true
And no one does it good like heaven do
That voodoo that you do
No Hollywood waste or tinsel trash
Street kid, she's no stray cat
Heaven on legs she's feline flash
Takes a good woman to play a good man
And no one plays like heaven can
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Hey guys, Miss Magic is mine
No silicone smile she's a vintage wine
Bombshell blond, red lipstick on
Aquiline fine, she's a real wild one
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no
She got the rhythm to drive me crazy
She got the rhythm of love
She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
The lights are out
But there's somebody home
Better watch out when
We're all alone
Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl she makes dreams come true
And no one does it good like heaven do
That voodoo that you do

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
I love this song, so much! Just another upbeat Def Lep song you can't help but sing along to. And I agree, girls are the closest thing to heaven on earth this world will ever know!
Well thank you.
