	Story Behind the Song This is a futuristic version of the usual folk song about long-separated lovers. I wrote the lyrics very quickly with the computer in December 1999.The music about 15 minutes later.It used to be longer but I cut out some stuff that didn't really fit. The recording was done at home,with the computer again,no fancy technical stuff...just a mike,a computer and some echo effects.This is the 2nd or 3rd take I can't remember.I plan to do it better adding a proper bass line and harmony vocals. Lyrics SNAIL MAIL TO MARS: Since my love 's gone far o'er in the sky/and I don't know where he lives but myself I'd better die/than waiting here on this planet and choke in the strife/'cause I haven't got a notice or some news of my darling/all connections broke down and so I/I don't know how what he's doing how he's doing if he's fine/so I'll take bits of paper and I glue 'em up with tears/and I'll send my love a letter I send that to my dear/Snail mail to Mars/typing with an old typewriter/writing down go further/ink is getting darker oh my dear/Snail mail to Mars/they'll receive a note/there's an envelope/floating in the sky my dear/snail mail to Mars/Since my love's gone in the sky so blue/some men came down a-courting me came down to woo me/I swear that I'd be faithful to my darling only one/but how can I do this if I don't know where he is gone?
