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.
Oh oh
Oh oh
There are times
I swear I know you're here
I forget about my fears
Feelin' you my dear
Watchin' over me
My hope sees
What the future will bring
When you wrap your wings
And take me where you are
Where you and I will be together
Once again, we'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin' back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be, where you are
And I can see your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased
Oh, how I see your star
Shinin' down on me
And I'd do anything
If I could just, be right there where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin' back at me (you'll be smilin' back at me)
Only then will I be free
Then I will be free, so take me where you are
Now baby there are times when selfishly
I wishin' that you were here with me
So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see
That every night when you are dreamin'
I'm here to guard you from afar
And anytime I feel in love
I'll close my eyes and dream of where you are
Where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin' back at me (you'll be smilin' back at me)
Only then will I be free
Then I will be free,
Baby I still believe
Oh I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there
Where you are (where you are)
I still believe
Whoa, I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there
Where you are, oh where you are!
I still believe
I gotta believe
I still believe
I'll always be waiting here
That sweet day (that sweet day, yeah!)
I still believe , I still believe
Oh oh
There are times
I swear I know you're here
I forget about my fears
Feelin' you my dear
Watchin' over me
My hope sees
What the future will bring
When you wrap your wings
And take me where you are
Where you and I will be together
Once again, we'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin' back at me
Only then will I be free
When I can be, where you are
And I can see your face
Your kiss I still can taste
Not a memory erased
Oh, how I see your star
Shinin' down on me
And I'd do anything
If I could just, be right there where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin' back at me (you'll be smilin' back at me)
Only then will I be free
Then I will be free, so take me where you are
Now baby there are times when selfishly
I wishin' that you were here with me
So I can wipe the tears from your eyes and make you see
That every night when you are dreamin'
I'm here to guard you from afar
And anytime I feel in love
I'll close my eyes and dream of where you are
Where you are
Where you and I will breathe together
Once again we'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Just like we used to do
And you'll be smilin' back at me (you'll be smilin' back at me)
Only then will I be free
Then I will be free,
Baby I still believe
Oh I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there
Where you are (where you are)
I still believe
Whoa, I gotta believe
I still believe
I will touch you that sweet day
That you take me there
Where you are, oh where you are!
I still believe

I'll always be waiting here
That sweet day (that sweet day, yeah!)
I still believe , I still believe

Tracy Chapman
"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,

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
i like this duet, they sound good together when they sing this
