He certainly did earn that reputation.
Sometimes all I really want to feel is love
Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry
Sometimes my feelings get in the way
Of what I really feel I needed to say
If you stand in a circle
Then you'll all have a back to bite
Backlogged books on the seven wonders
We're all so funny but he's lost his joke now
Our communication found in one-line jokes
from stand up comics and rock musicians
Making so much noise you don't know when to listen...
Why are you judging people so damn hard?
You're taking your point of views a bit too far
I made my shoes shine with black coal
But the polish didn't shine the hole
If you stand in a circle
Then you'll all have a back to bite
Backlogged books on the seven wonders
We're all so funny but he's lost his joke now
Our communication found in one-line jokes
From stand up comics and rock musicians
Making so much noise you don't know when to listen...
Think it over
There's an air of height in the high-rollers;
They never get shit
Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry
Sometimes my feelings get in the way
Of what I really feel I needed to say
If you stand in a circle
Then you'll all have a back to bite

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?

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This song is about a person who covers up his feelings by using humor. He is so shallow with everyone so that no one will know "Sometimes all I really want to feel is love".
"If you stand in a circle" is a metaphor about everyone joining together and being each other's support systems; he argues that when that happens "you'll all have a back to bite" meaning that we could all be just as easily stabbed in the back by trusting ourselves to others.
"We're all so funny but he's lost his joke now A communication from the one lined joke A stand up comic and a rock musician Making so much noise you don't know when to listen" These are my favorite lines from the song. He's saying that when things are that shallow the lack of importance gives people a general apathy for each other
the final lines "Think it over There's the air of the height of the highrollers Think it over You ain't got nothing until you know her" Is about whether or not he should open up to others.
