He certainly did earn that reputation.
Hot, blue and righteous,
An angel called me aside.
Hot, blue and righteous,
Said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide."
I heard the words as I closed my eyes
Down on my, down on my bended knees.
It fit like a glove and I realized
Somethin' good's happenin' to me.
Hot, blue and righteous
Angel called me aside.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
An angel called me aside.
Hot, blue and righteous,
Said, "Stick by me and I'll be your guide."
I heard the words as I closed my eyes
Down on my, down on my bended knees.
It fit like a glove and I realized
Somethin' good's happenin' to me.
Hot, blue and righteous
Angel called me aside.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.

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?

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.
i always thought this was about a .38 special (hot blue and righteous) being used in an act of retribution
Sometimes people come into your life, guide you and give yourself fully. I think this is what this song, and this I like to think.
I don't know what the song is about, but the lead solo is that fabulous sound of BFG's "Pearly Gates" Les Paul that I have been trying for years to replicate. Fabulous!
This song is about the first time the singer has sexual intercourse.
It's about passing away.
