Description
Balloonatic is an early version of the song "Twin". It was recorded in 1996, but was never intended to be released. However, Balloonatic was indeed released in 1997 on the Helping You Back to Work Volume 1, and was also featured on the Newton Abbot demo.
Matthew Bellamy was unaware that this version of Twin had ever been released and quoted it, along with a few other songs, as "crap".
The name "Balloonatic" came from a children's television show.
Live
It's quite possible that this version of the song was played often live circa 1997, but no audio or other prove has surfaced yet. However, there are a couple of performances of its final version, Twin, confirmed in 2000.
Lyrics
You came,
You came, you scorched her You came, unstained you adore her
United again Like separated twins United again
You You will remember She knows, she knows you want her
United again Like separated twins United again
United again Like separated twins You can be...
Come gentle, slowly, Down tonight...
