After a three-year hiatus following the release of her debut album, Lil Empire, Petite Meller returns with “Aeroplane”.
“Aeroplane” sees frequent collaborator Jocke Åhlund once again tackling the production: a Paul Simon-inspired, Afro/Latin/Europop celebration of life above the clouds.
[Intro]
Cabin crew please be seated for take off
Ladies and gentlemen, air flight entertainment is about to begin
For further details please refer to your copy of...
[Chorus]
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
[Verse 1]
I go in it with my ticket, frequent flyer on the aeroplane
On my window, no reflection, all I need is resurrection
What I’m feeling, what I’m thinking, can you see it, can you say it?
[Pre-Chorus: Malcolm McCarthy]
(I’m not waiting till you want me
Got the rhythm in my body)
We smile, you stick, you define me now
Going off to my inner soul, my soul divided
If you’d be cool, define me
O-oh
[Chorus]
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
[Verse 2]
I got real levitation, flying over every nation
Speedy jet plane, my vacation, till I reach my destination
[Pre-Chorus: Malcolm McCarthy]
(Inner soul, my soul divided
If you’d be cool, define me
O-oh)
[Chorus]
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
[Bridge]
Haiti, Malawi, Brasília, Barbados
You know that I love you
Ya sabes, te quiero
Armenia, Bolivia, Colombia, Namibia
Whoever you find on your way, sing it “yeah”
I'm walking the wire, I got to go higher
Inside the desire, the music is fire
The way that we fly, make us shine like sapphires
The way my body goes Like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes Like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
[Chorus]
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
The way my body goes, high and low, around the globe
The way my body goes, like an aeroplane, coast to coast
[Post-Chorus]
(O-oh, o-oh
O-oh, like an aeroplane
Like an aeroplane)
[?]
(O-oh, like an aeroplane)
[?]
[Outro]
Do jeito que meu corpo vai, alto e baixo pela costa
Do jeito que meu corpo mexe como um avião pra cima e pra baixo
