Fancy made a comeback in 1998 with the remix of his biggest hit Flames Of Love. It didn't take long to captivate audiences around Europe once again. That year Fancy released Hit Party with remixes of his old hits and some new compositions. Only a year later another album D.I.S.C.O. was released and received very good reviews from the fans since most songs were based on an old Fancy formula which made him a star in the '80s. Then came the album Locomotion in 2001.
The second Fancy (http://myspace.com/welovefancy) is a flamboyant three-piece outfit from the notorious riot zones in the working-class suburbs of Paris.
Mixing AC/DC and T-Rex with the glitter ball sparkle of disco, Fancy comes armed with loads of make-up, feather boas, killer tunes at the ready, and a mountain of glowing press in France - including the "Most Entertaining Group" award from the French newspaper Liberation. Onstage, Fancy has supported MC5, TV on the Radio, Daft Punk and The Rapture.
FANCY also co-wrote the recent Justice hit โD.A.N.C.E.โ.
โAbove all, weโre about making loveโ, says their singer and resident rock god/dess Jessie Chaton.
The third Fancy is a British white funk band of the 1970's most famous for their cover of the Trogg's "Wild Thing," a single which went gold in the U.S. Former Penthouse pet Helen Court sang steamily, Rick Fenwick ex-of the Spencer Davis Group played guitar, Mo Foster bass, Henry Spinetti drums and Alan Hawkshaw keyboards. Fancy released several subsequent albums replacing Court with Annie Cavanaugh from the cast of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar, but failed to regain the same success.
The fourth Fancy is a San Jose, CA based synth pop band that formed immediately after the dissolution of Volvox. Fancy eventually evolved into the solo project of Proton Pigeon.
Spy in the Night
Fancy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my life
I tried to make you stay
Love came from far away
From your eyes
And now my loveโฒs all alone
Heart to heart in the day
Now I know I will leave you behind
There's a part of you that tries to hide
Youโฒre a spy that's runnin'
Through the night
A spy in the night
Words of lies
A spy in the night
Wanna hold me tight
A spy in the night
Changing signs
A spy in the night
Wanna ask you why
(A spy in the night)
My heart wonโฒt cry no more
When you go
Iโฒm strong I close the door
Our love will sail away
On a sea
No more away with the breeze
Heart to heart in the day
Then by night you go away
Now I know I will leave you behind
There's a part of you that tries to hide
Youโฒre a spy that's runninโฒ
Through the night
It's a part of you that tries to hide
Like a spy thatโฒs runnin'
Through the night
In the song "Spy in the Night" by Fancy, the singer reflects on a love that has come and gone. Love came to them one day from far away, and they tried to make it stay, but now their love is all alone. The verses accentuate the dichotomy between day and night, with heart-to-heart connections in the day and a lover who disappears by night. The chorus reveals the reason for the lover's elusive behavior - they are a spy that's running through the night. The singer feels betrayed as the spy weaves words of lies, wants to hold them tight, changes signs and confuses them, compelling them to ask why.
The lyrics of "Spy in the Night" may symbolize a love that is secretive and lacking in transparency. The singer is bewildered by the dual personalities of their lover, who puts on one persona during the day and a completely different one at night. The lover's character is a mystery, and the use of the spy metaphor creates an aura of secrecy and espionage. Fancy's singing style puts emphasis on the lingering sadness that love can bring and the frustration of not knowing the truth about someone they love.
Line by Line Meaning
Love came to me one day
One day, I found love
In my life
In my life, I found love
I tried to make you stay
I attempted to keep my love with me
Love came from far away
My love came from a distant place
From your eyes
I saw my love in your eyes
And now my love's all alone
Now, my love is solitary and by itself
Heart to heart in the day
During the day, we have emotional conversations
Then by night you go away
But, during the night, you disappear
Now I know I will leave you behind
I understand that I must leave you in the past
There's a part of you that tries to hide
You're hiding a secret part of yourself
You're a spy that's runnin' through the night
You're like a covert agent sneaking around at night
Words of lies
You tell me falsehoods
Wanna hold me tight
You desire to embrace me affectionately
Changing signs
You are switching up predefined signals
Wanna ask you why
I want to know the reason behind your actions
My heart won't cry no more
I will no longer be heartbroken
When you go
When you depart
I'm strong I close the door
I will be strong and shut the door on my past love
Our love will sail away
Our love will drift away
On a sea
Towards the vast sea
No more away with the breeze
Away the breeze will no longer take our love
It's a part of you that tries to hide
You're concealing a portion of yourself
Like a spy that's runnin' through the night
You're akin to a secret agent slipping around at night
