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 know you love me, darling
And I love you
Every time I touch your face
Every time I choose
I love the feeling
Of loving you
I`m tired of touching you
I want to cut on through
I love you darling
Everything you do
I want to be there
When you feel them cutting through
I feel you
I need you
I want you, now
I know you love me
I hear you call
You know i`ll be there
Hereafter, after
All I every see you
Do inside your bed
Don`t you think you could
Replay them once inside my head
I remember caesar
He remembers you
Knows all the things you tell me
Everything you do
I feel you
I need you
I want you, now
Why don`t you call me
You never read my note
You got a dog inside your body
Its got you by the throat
I really love you
Wanna feel your pain
Wanna drag you cross the ground
And out inside the rain
Gotta feel you darling
Gotta have you near
Gotta be there when they cut you
Gotta feel your fear
I love you in the morning
I need you in the fall
I want to see them cut you
Feel them feel you when you growl
Why don`t you call me
You never read my note
You got a dog inside your body
Its got you by the throat
And I love you
Every time I touch your face
Every time I choose
I love the feeling
Of loving you
I`m tired of touching you
I want to cut on through
I love you darling
Everything you do
I want to be there
When you feel them cutting through
I feel you
I need you
I want you, now
I know you love me
I hear you call
You know i`ll be there
Hereafter, after
All I every see you
Do inside your bed
Don`t you think you could
Replay them once inside my head
I remember caesar
He remembers you
Knows all the things you tell me
Everything you do
I feel you
I need you
I want you, now
Why don`t you call me
You never read my note
You got a dog inside your body
Its got you by the throat
I really love you
Wanna feel your pain
Wanna drag you cross the ground
And out inside the rain
Gotta feel you darling
Gotta have you near
Gotta be there when they cut you
Gotta feel your fear
I love you in the morning
I need you in the fall
I want to see them cut you
Feel them feel you when you growl
Why don`t you call me
You never read my note
You got a dog inside your body
Its got you by the throat

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Holiday

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Just A Little Lovin'

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/
My favorite Butthole Surfers song. I think the "dog" refers to that which people try to keep repressed. Like the rawness and animalistic urges of the soul. The singer has already accepted this part of himself and wants to bring it out of his lover, but she is too shy/nervous to release the "dog" inside her body.
