Bittersweet ode to doomed office romance, accompanied by lilting musette accordion.

Eccentric instrumental pop and vocal anti-folk, played entirely on accordion.

I am a British accordionist. I write and perform vocal and instrumental pop music using only my accordion. No other instruments. Other instruments are bad. Accordions are good. Mmm, accordions.

Story behind the song

The song isn't based on anyone in particular. Honest. Ahem.

Lyrics

Oh, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
Help me find something to say
To you, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
I must think of something today
I wouldn't insult you with small-talk or chatter
Like "Hi, how's it going? Nice weather lately!
Do you like music?  What's your favourite colour?"
Oh, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
Help me find something I pray.

Hey, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
Do you have the same problem as me?
Are you, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
My identical facsimile?
I don't want to make myself look like a fool
"What you doing later?  Fancy a drink somewhere?
Oh you have a boyfriend?  Really, is it serious?"
Oh, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
I'm struggling for words, can't you see?

Please, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
My nerves will be shredded for good
Help, Mystery Fax Machine Girl
I can't seem to act like I should
Perhaps it would help if I said it by fax!
For attention of Mystery Fax Machine Girl
Please read ASAP Repondez S'il Vous Plait
Oh Mystery Fax Machine Girl
If I had your fax number I would.
