The dearth of lyrics talking about "fancying" people

Googling reveals Lush's "Tinkerbell" ("But other girls always seem to be bitchin' about me / I say they must be jealous / I say that it's because their boyfriends all fancy me"), folksong "A Frog He Would A Wooing Go", a couple of songs on Ian Hunter's The Artful Dodger & uh Oasis' "She's Electric".

Also, looking at the word "fancying" for too long renders it void of meaning k-quick, heh.

Tarnation's first (excellent) record has a song that asks, "Do you fancy me? Or am I living in make-believe?" They're from San Francisco but the record's on 4AD. Does that make them British by association?

+ The Streets "Fit but you know it"

"Dismantle Me" by the Distillers

I fancy you
But I've been destitute
And all I know dissolved
I could never reundo you
I will always say tis so
I will always speak the truth
Descend into a noose
Could never reundo you
I want to bury you

"Paperback Head" by Tegan and Sara

You have to become
What you fancy

You can be my fanciable headcase
