The Humdrum Express - Lookalike Bond [Official] 2017

The Humdrum Express (singer/songwriter Ian Passey) takes on the role of a professional lookalike whose fortunes are determined by the star he pretends to be...
Directed by Nick J Townsend.
Thanks to everyone who turned up to help (especially Andy Monk as Simon Cowell) - I hope you all enjoyed the day as much as I did!
Taken from the Lookalike Bond EP, released on 24th March 2017.
Produced by Mick Lown at Hillgrove Heights. Drums - Carl Bayliss.
Not one to stand out from the crowd, an average man on the street
I have to work long hours, but still can’t seem to make ends meet
People have always said I resemble an actor on TV
I don’t quite know how I ended up joining a look-alike agency
The work was steady, with the opening of a sports shop and a bar
Hardly an insight into what it must be like to be a star
Until one morning, I awoke to find an unexpected twist
My double was named as the next James Bond, and overnight became ‘A’ list
My name’s Bond - well, they say dead ringer
My name’s Bond
My name’s Bond - You only live twice, Goldfinger
My name’s Bond… James lookalike Bond
I forged signatures in Cannes; when I was there to see the sights
Seemed a far cry from switching on some village Christmas lights
Factory hours, now even more a distant memory
Former workmates, I hear, are passing comment jealously
My name’s Bond - I’m so well dressed, exuding charm
My Name’s Bond
My name’s Bond - with a wannabe Honor Blackman on my arm
My name’s Bond… James lookalike Bond
I turned on the TV news, left me shaken not stirred
As the (money) penny dropped, my whole world crashed by what I heard
My doppelganger, is not all he’s cracked up to be
I’ll admit… it scared the living daylights out of me!
His list of crime seems endless, he’s facing 007 years inside
The press are out to get him, my high life’s on the slide
The public are alleging other serious matters
I think I’ll have to sue - my career’s in tatters!
My name’s Bond - The novelty’s wearing thin
My name’s Bond
My name’s Bond - At the mercy of my famous twin
My name’s Bond, James Lookalike Bond
I was tempted by the taste of celebrity and wealth -
Fooled into thinking I’d be bettering myself
A small crumb of comfort to ease my loss of earning
Is the hangers-on have gone; and I doubt they’ll be returning
Fame based on looks, I won’t be such a fool again
But I felt I needed something to help to ease the pain
I sought medical advice in a bid to ease my woe
My GP said “sit down, Bond” - I said “Dr, NO!”
I’m not Bond - Forget the man I used to be
I’m not Bond
I’m not Bond - Must be someone else who looks like me…

Interesting that this song ended up on the same playlist for me as Hans on the Bass's Bond tribute.
