Thank you for the lyrics! Didn't know that Doppelgänger is used in English as well. :)

Sad and funny song about the failure of childhood dreams..

The song was originally written by Amy Widdowson with verses and guitar playing invited from Mark Allan Barnes..!

Chorus

We left the parties with a Balloon on a String
A piece of cake - we could do anything
And now - I sing this tune - in pursuit of my Balloon
(My balloon, I sit and croon.. I'm in search of my balloon)

I wanted to be the driver of a train
Or a well-paid surgeon working in someone's brain
But now I'm on the dole 
And my life is out of my control

CHORUS

I wanted to be an actor on the silver screen
And I'd be so terribly profound that no-one would know what I mean
But it seems that I don't have the looks and I don't have the skill and my doctor says I'm mentally ill..

Chorus

I wanted to be a singer on the stage
But I hear that aging's not the rage
I fear I've had my time 
So I think I'll lose my mind

Chorus

I wanted to be a famous scientist
With string of Nobel prizes dangling off each wrist
But now my only consolation is getting drunk
And I smell just like a skunk

Chorus








In Pursuit Of My Balloon By Amy Widdowson & Mark Allan Barnes

From the forthcoming Doppelganger EP

I’m looking for my doppelganger.
He’s been hanging round my manor.
Works in a bar in Littlemore.
How come I’ve never seen him before?

I’m looking for my doppelganger.
Five foot two with a terrible stammer.
Why do people think he’s me?
Say he’s like a carbon copy?

D d d d d d d d d doppelganger
Doppelganger

Have you seen my doppelganger?
Seen another three on the security camera.
It’s asexual reproduction.
Need to get my face some reconstruction.

D d d d d d d d d doppelganger
No more clone war
Doppelganger

I’m looking for my doppelganger.
I’m looking like my doppelganger.

Doppelganger EP

Doppelganger

The first track on Louise Petit's debut EP 'Fear and my other Friends'.
The band are an folk/Americana/acoustic trio based around the Midlands.  The band have had some fantastic reviews for both the EP and live performances like this one; "Lilting twee-free romanticism drawing on many cultured Folk traditions…reminders of Mary Coughlan’s punchy wit underscored by breathy timing and minor key shifts. Exquisitely honest music".  For more about Louise Petit check out: www.louisepetit.com
