He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Lazy days calling to you
Come out to play
The future lies with you
Now you can be sure love is the cure
What we're searching for
Is to have a jolly good time
Crazy days, but you'll get me through
And here I'll stay holding on to you
Now you can be sure
Our thoughts unpure
Will unlock the door
And we will have (and we will have)
A jolly good time
It can happen in any season
We don't need any reason
To sit around and wait
The world can change in a second so
I find the sunshine beckons me
To open up the gate
And dream and dream
Lazy days, don't let them get you down (let them get you down)
Wear your smile
I don't want to see you frown
Don't let them get you down
It can happen in any season
We don't need any reason
To sit around and wait
The world can change in a second so
I find the sunshine beckons me
To open up the gate
And dream and dream
And we will have (and we will have)
A jolly good time
Time
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
Time
It's alright (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's alright (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's alright (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

It's alright (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's alright (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's alright (yeah, yeah)

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?

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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
What a great song, from a really young Robbie, coping with his own "fall from grace". I love the optimistic tone of it, telling us that it's really up to us to go after our happiness..."to open up the gate and dream"... It just gives me hope, saying that no matter how much you've screwed up your life you can still recover and find he sun again. It (the change, your happiness) could happen in any season (it doesn't have to be the summer) and without a particular reason, as long as you're decided to get over yourself. One of my all time favourites, and very underrated in my opinion, from his first cd "Life Thru A Lens". I wish more Robbie fans would post here, so they could tell me if they see the resemblance of this (old) video with the "Tripping" one...it's really impressive and I've always wondered why he put those images back again, maybe as a wink to their fans? (the maze, the twins and some other stuff appear again).
Both of these songs are very beautiful songs, I have them both saved in my favorites and I\'ll keep them there forever! Thanks for helping me understand this song. :)
