Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Don't say the word
If you don't want it done
Don't tell me your name
If you don't want it sung
Don't come any closer
That's good enough
Don't go away
I can't stand the thought
It's too warm
Inside your hands
It's too hard
It's too good
It's just that when you touched me
I could not stand up
I fell into
I fell down
Why can't you tell me
Is it worth a fight
Do I sound crazy
Well, I just might
Why do your words
Have to ring so false
Why do your eyes
Have to change so much
It's too warm
Inside your hands
It's too hard
It's too good
It's just that when you touched me
I could not stand up
I fell into
I fell down
Turn, turn it on, turn, turn it on
You can turn it on, turn it into my song
I want to turned on, turn it all night long
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn, turn it on, turn, turn it on
You can turn it on, turn it into my song
I want to tear it down, turn it all night long
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn, turn it on, turn, turn it on
You can turn it on, turn it into my song
I want to tear it down, turn it all night long
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Don't say the word
If you don't want it done
Don't tell me your name
If you don't want it sung
If you don't want it done
Don't tell me your name
If you don't want it sung
Don't come any closer
That's good enough
Don't go away
I can't stand the thought
It's too warm
Inside your hands
It's too hard
It's too good
It's just that when you touched me
I could not stand up
I fell into
I fell down
Why can't you tell me
Is it worth a fight
Do I sound crazy
Well, I just might
Why do your words
Have to ring so false
Why do your eyes
Have to change so much
It's too warm
Inside your hands
It's too hard
It's too good
It's just that when you touched me
I could not stand up
I fell into
I fell down
Turn, turn it on, turn, turn it on
You can turn it on, turn it into my song
I want to turned on, turn it all night long
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn, turn it on, turn, turn it on
You can turn it on, turn it into my song
I want to tear it down, turn it all night long
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Turn, turn it on, turn, turn it on
You can turn it on, turn it into my song
I want to tear it down, turn it all night long
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on
Don't say the word
If you don't want it done
Don't tell me your name
If you don't want it sung

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

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.

@[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.
Great song, this is one of my fav for sure. Corin's voice is absolutely incredible!!!
