    Our closest 'tribute' to Herman's Hermits. According to FLIPSIDE: "The wry “Faxing A Love Song” is the perfect anthem for the Internet generation." The verse was inspired by The Monkees "Steppin' Stone", and if you play the chorus backward, it sounds suspiciously like "Henry The VIII".

    Story Behind the Song
    The impetus was Alec's long-distance relationship with his girlfriend, who had neither a fax machine nor a computer at the time. It's the thought that counts. It was composed at his girlfriend's place in California. The melody took about 5 minutes to write, but the bubble-gum lyrics didn't come immediately. This song was the first tune to be fully-completed for the cd. The note progressions of the dual harmonies are a little unique, but seemed to fit the song pretty well.

    Lyrics
    I belong to you.
    You belong to me.
    No matter how far away you are,
    I'll be close to you, dear.
    I still love you,
    And that's the way it should be.

    Baby, I'm here all alone.
    Please, hang up the phone.
    I couldn't forget you,
    Even though you've been gone for a year.
    Turn your modem on,
    Here's a message from me.

    I'm faxing a love song to you,
    In case you were feelin' we're through.
    A letter's too slow.
    I want you to know,
    I'm faxing a love song to you.

    I'm faxing a love song to you,
    And wonderin' if you miss me too.
    It's simple and short,
    I need your support.
    I'm faxing a love song to you.

    Though we are a million miles apart,
    Can't you hear the beating of my heart?
    And I tell you, tenderly,
    You're the only girl for me.

    That's why I want you to get,
    Off the Internet.
    I've written a little tune,
    Guaranteed to brighten your day.
    Give your mouse a click,
    And read my bouquet.

    I'm faxing a love song to you.
    I'm usin' the words lovers do.
    I didn't have time,
    To make it all rhyme.
    I'm faxing a love song to you.

    I'm faxing a love song to you.
    You won't hear the music, it's true.
    Paul Simon it's not,
    But, it's all that I've got.
    I'm faxing a love song to you.

    I'll be waiting here for your reply.
    And, I'm hopin' I am still your guy.
    I don't need no Valentine,
    I just want your love on line.
