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.
Went back home again
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on
Everything
(Turn my back on)
Everything
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV guide
It's time now to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
Out of what I know
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile
I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I want to scream out loud
Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
All out of my control
Everything's changing
Everywhere I go
Out of what I know
La, la, la, la, la, la (la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la (la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la (la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la, la
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
Out of what I know
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile
This sucks gotta pack up and leave again
Say goodbye to all my friends
Can't say when I'll be there again
It's time now to turn around
Turn my back on
Everything
(Turn my back on)
Everything
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control

Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the vibe
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV guide
It's time now to turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground
Everything's changing
When I turn around
All out of my control

Everything's changing

"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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,
DreamofGlycerine needs to shut her fucking mouth. What the hell does she know about Avril pursuing a musical career... she cant even spell pursue, and i've got the message to proove it. anywho, this is a song you'll probably relate to if you're going to live somewhere different. its like leaving your life behind. go avril.
peace ouuutttt, man
