its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Take me down to where you hide
Lay me down, lay me down inside
What use now, hold back this pacific tide
Tijuana lady where did you go?
I been chasin' you around old mehico
Gonna find my way back to San Diego
Baby where'd you hide?
Take me down to where you hide
Play me around, leave me all your sadness
Make no sound, 'cause I know you'll lie
Tijuana lady, let's take it slow
I know that I'm no head honcho
I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho
Tijuana lady where did you go
I heard you lost a last sombrero
Tijuana lady which way d'you flow
I'm a el mariachi desperado
Where'd you hide
Tell me where'd you hide
Enchilada desperado days
Senorita come back and meet me again
Buena vista, senorita, yeah
I love you so come back, be with me again
Lay me down, lay me down inside
What use now, hold back this pacific tide
Tijuana lady where did you go?
I been chasin' you around old mehico
Gonna find my way back to San Diego
Baby where'd you hide?
Take me down to where you hide
Play me around, leave me all your sadness
Make no sound, 'cause I know you'll lie
Tijuana lady, let's take it slow
I know that I'm no head honcho
I'll keep you warm in my silky poncho
Tijuana lady where did you go
I heard you lost a last sombrero
Tijuana lady which way d'you flow
I'm a el mariachi desperado
Where'd you hide
Tell me where'd you hide
Enchilada desperado days
Senorita come back and meet me again
Buena vista, senorita, yeah
I love you so come back, be with me again

Corpse I Fell In Love With

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
this song reminds of make out sessions in a car and sex in the afternoon.
