Balloonatic Lyrics

Alternative title: Twin First recorded as "Balloonatic", this was very first song Muse released, in 1997, on the Helping You Back to Work Volume 1 compilation. It was recorded in late 1996 and is included on the Newton Abbot demo. By the time "Twin" was released, Matthew Bellamy was unaware that it had ever been released under the name "Balloonatic".[1] The name "Balloonatic" came from a children's television programme at the time the music was written. Matthew Bellamy stated that after he wrote the lyrics, the song was renamed "Twin",[1] although complete versions of the song were in fact released under both titles, albeit with somewhat different lyrics in each. The bass-line to this song bears similarity with Radiohead's "My Iron Lung". At 0:08, Bellamy can be heard giggling. -
