Lyrics Joan Armatrading

Joan Armatrading

Drop The Pilot

I'm right on target, my aim is straight

So you're in love, I say what of it

Things can change, there's always changes

And I wanna try some rearranging

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 wanna come down

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

I said, "Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need"

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

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

I say, "Drop the pilot, yeah

Drop the monkey

Drop the mahout"

Animal, mineral, physical, spiritual

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need

I'm the one you need

Drop the pilot

Drop the pilot

Drop the pilot

I said, "Drop the pilot"
