Joan Armatrading Drop the Pilot lyrics

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
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 mahout
