Joan Armatrading - Drop The Pilot lyrics

My aim is straight

So you're in love

I say, what of it?

Things can change

There's always changes

I want to try

some rearranging

(chorus)

I say

Drop the pilot, try my balloon

Drop the monkey, smell my perfume

Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider

Don't use your army

to fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral

physical, spiritual

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need

You're kissing cousins

there's no smoke, no flame

If you lose that pilot

I can fly your plane

If you want solid ground

come on and try me

Or I can take you so high

that you're never gonna want to come down

(chorus)

I say

Drop the pilot, try my balloon

Drop the monkey, smell my perfume

Drop the mahout, I'm the easy rider

Don't use your army

to fight a losing battle

Animal, mineral

physical, spiritual

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need
