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.
Buzzing and flying everybody's trying too hard,
Well this is just a guess
but less is more than more now,
Step outside it's colder than hell but I'll
make sure that you're terrified,
I'll make sure that you're...
Well you could never say
Well you could never play
but you got some,
You're www.gettindrunk.com,
Gettin' drunk,
It's a matter of gettin' drunk what you wanna drink
What you wanna get drunk,
Whoa get drunk
I love to get drunk,
Whoa DRUNK....
I think, we should get real fucked up
if you
come by
at a quarter-to-midnight,
We'll get so drunk we won't be able to walk out the door,
We'll walk out of the window
'cause we're so fucking drunk.
Oh...
Drunk
Oh you know I'm
Smiling 'cause i'm so high
you are getting crazy - not now,
Through Space and time
don't feel amazed somehow,
Won't you step outside
it's colder than hell
but I'll
make sure you're gettin' drunk with me
Now tell me, baby,
Looks like we could get drunk rearly,
if you come by before your usual time
a quarter-to-midnight
You're so loud
wakin up the neighbor's dog because
he's drunk,
And I'm buzzing for you baby, yeah
for you baby, yeah
No no no,
don't you try
to linger around,
You're so high,
Now
A quarter-to-midnight
You're so loud,
you're waking up the neighbor's dog because
he's shitfaced,
And he's crying
because his woman dog he loves is away,
Oh, doggie love,
Doggie Love
Doggie Love
Doggie Love
Doggie Love
Doggie Love
My doggies love to hump the sides
of the front door,
And I'll tell them to cut that shit out,
But they love to hump
So I'll sit on the chair and watch them,
'Cause it's peaceful like a fire
It's peaceful like my fire
(talking)
What the hell am I doing,
I don't know
I'ts pretty damn cool
And this song is never going to end
We're just going to do more of this all night,
Wel the night is the place to gom,
if you want to play pool,
if you want to go to college
it's required,
if you wanna sweat your nuts off in these lights
that's cool
(trails off)
Well this is just a guess
but less is more than more now,
Step outside it's colder than hell but I'll
make sure that you're terrified,
I'll make sure that you're...
Well you could never say
Well you could never play

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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,
what a badass. fuckin awesome. especially : "We'll get so drunk we won't be able to walk out the door, We'll walk out of the window 'cause we're so fucking drunk." and evryone could use some doggie love. or maybe not.
