Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Never give up, never give up
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not that kinda girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
Its not the things you do to try to hurt me so
But it's the way you do the things you do, for me
I'm not that kinda girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
Number one
Every girl wants you to be her boy
But I'll wait right here, 'til it's my turn
I'm not that kinda girl mwho gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
Number one
Number one
Number one
Every time that I get the feelin'
You give me something to believe in
Every time that I got you near me
I know the way that I want it to be
But you know I'm gonna take my chance now
I'm gonna make it happen some how
And you know I can take the pressure
A moments pain for a life time's pleasure
Every girl wants you to be her boy
But I'll wait right here, 'til it's my turn
I'm not that kinda girl who gives up just like that
Oh, no
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
Every time that I get the feelin'
You give me something to believe in
Every time that I got you near me
I know the way that I want it to be
But you know I'm gonna take my chance now
I'm gonna make it happen some how
And you know I can take the pressure
A moments pain for a life time's pleasure
The tide is high but I'm holdin' on
I'm gonna be your number one
I'm not that kinda girl
Who gives up just like that
Oh, no
Its not the things you do to try to hurt me so
But it's the way you do the things you do, for me
I'm not that kinda girl who gives up just like that

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.

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.

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”
i prefer the blondie version. forever debbie harry!
Check out the dance moves. Awesome.
Yay for Lizzie McGuire
Lizzie McGuire movie rocks! lol =)) YAY
Yeh, totally, Blondie rules! Atmoic Kitten suck with all their cover versions of classic songs. The only good thing about them covering stuff is that people dig out the old, original versions to listen to!!
i really like this song
I love the song I heard it first in the lizzie mcguire movie but now I have this song on barbie girls' movie. it's really fantastic.
i like the original version. no hidden meaning!!! ---have fun---
I agree with all you that said Blondies is better, originals always are!! This song isn't anything special but I love the line "A moment's pain, for a lifetime pleasure." My sister used to think it said "I'm not the kind of girl who gives up drugs like that" That would have been an awesome song! XD
I have never even heard of this band until Lizzie McGuire =) I love this song.. the girl is in love and will wait for the guy
