about

Fantastic remix by BigSexyLand whose club we used to frequent at The Albany. It was the first time I ever saw a dancefloor throb to one of my songs. I remember some trepidation when they first sent us the remix, wondering whether or not they had sampled an x-rated film. But no, it's just Kate's vocals cut-up and ultra-compressed. John Doran summed it up best with "I hope her mother never has to hear this!" Though I had been warned. John Tatlock had sent an introductory email with the words:

"...give you some idea of what we are likely to do to your
unsuspecting tune.

I see it as a wide-eyed, eyes-met-across-the-dancefloor sort of song,
skipping gaily . What we are going to do is send it out clothes shopping
with the girls from the Human League, and then round for drinks at
Kraftwerk's house. They’ll give it a couple of lines of Ketamine and a
cocktail (and not a Cosmopolitan, I mean something proper like a West Indian Yellow Bird), and then they’ll get a taxi to some shady basement club that has naked boys and girls dancing in cages, fire breathers, and people walking around with panthers on diamante leashes. Robot panthers.

What will happen next is anyone's guess."

lyrics

Fancies & Goodnights

(I spy, with my little eye, something that begins with you)

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, are you what I’ve been looking for?

Violet melodies, whisper ‘cross the floor
A glance I drink right in, then turn away for more
A marble Venus pose, awaits your two lips
Obscured by lustrous rose, and endearing nervous sips

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, are you what I’ve been waiting for?

Breath of tangerine, on lips of peach
Soft and close now, good enough to eat
And eyes of saccharine, melt mine to gold
I hope you’re a good boy, and do what you’re told

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, what has tonight in store?

Strawbr’y shadows slide, whirl across the room
Hearts beat so quick-quick-slow, movin’ into you
And all the stars align, to dance in your eyes
Then disappear so dreamily, to wish us goodnight

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, are you what I’ve been waiting for?
