Pilot - Penny In My Pocket

Pilot - Penny In My Pocket
Morin Heights - 1976

Such an under-rated but brilliant song.

I'm down
　But don't worry
　No money, no time
　Not a penny in my pocket
　I got love but who wants it

* So lonely
　I'm told to give love
　Don't be cold
　Not a penny in my pocket
　I'll give love to who wants it

**Keep on but not alone
　Keep the flags flying at home
　Keep on but not alone
　How I long to get back home

　Another day gone
　It's so hard to get on
　Not a penny in my pocket
　I got love but who wants it

　Repeat *

　Repeat **

　I'm down
　but don't worry
　No money, no time
　Not a penny in my pocket
　I got love but who wants it
　Not a penny in my pocket
　I'll give love to who wants it
　Not a penny in my pocket

gotta love this song and heck yeah why is this so underrated ??

[nigelo92]

@SommieReturns Pilot got caught in the transition to disco type music? If it was released 10 years before it actually was no doubt it would have been a hit.

@nigelo92 ok so I was right in my reply to sommiereturns as well I said money lol and that's what you're basically saying.

[nigelo92]

@longhairsRcool If you read DP's memoirs it was ultimately down to bad management, real shame really.

[sandgrownen]

What a great song.Isn't Ian a consummate guitarist.

[nigelo92]

Agreed!

[SommieReturns]

@longhairsRcool money what? i didn't say a word about money :-/ ??

[longhairsRcool]

@SommieReturns money? For whatever reason even though pilots music is decent songs like Magic did ok but they were never rated where they should be and my theory is they didn't think there was the kind of money in Pilot as there was in other bands at the time.

Fortunately, I haven't been able to get this song out of my head during the day at work. It's nice to hear old Pilot songs...they are like hidden Alan Parsons Project gems. David Paton has that high and clear tenor and Ian Bairnson (sp?) has excellent control of that guitar! It's great to hear these fellows when they were younger before their Alan Parsons work.
