I found this on another site, discussing the meaning of this song. It's from an interview with Harvey, and explains a lot about this song's meaning (and the way this whole album came about). This is one of my favourite songs of hers.

“I’d say for this record, for To Bring You My Love. The way I went about writing the songs and the way I went about recording the songs was all based on atmosphere and feeling more than anything. More than anything I’ve ever done before, any songs I’ve ever written before. The starting for quite a...
“I’d say for this record, for To Bring You My Love. The way I went about writing the songs and the way I went about recording the songs was all based on atmosphere and feeling more than anything. More than anything I’ve ever done before, any songs I’ve ever written before. The starting for quite a lot of the songs would be knowing a feeling that I wanted to try and create through music. And that came before anything like the way the song would be structured or the lyrical content it was much more the music and the feeling I would get off from that, and then work from there. And so recording this record was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life I think let alone the hardest record I’ve ever made. Because it was so much having to delve into getting into the right frame of mind to create that atmosphere that was specific to each song – varied with each song. And it’s just a very difficult thing to do. Very emotionally draining as well.”
“Teclo is somebody’s name. I don’t know who’s. I can tell you the source material for that was from the theme music for the “Guns for San Sebastian”. I’ve got a record at home, Ennio Morricone. And there’s a song on there, “Teclo’s Death”, and I thought ‘Oh, that sounds interesting’ and it’s just percussions, nothing else. There’s no instrument. And I just found it very sort of intriguing as a title. And after I listened to that album it kind of sparked of so many ideas around that song for me – that that’s what kind of went on to writing music for “Teclo”.
Great song! But what does the title 'Teclo' means?
