JET PLANE IN A ROCKING CHAIR

Jet plane in a rocking chair
Roller coaster roll nowhere
Deaf and dumb ?or dance it there?
I'll change this heart of mine
This time, this time

Sea cruise in a diving bell
Run a mile in a wishing well
?Soft soap? and nothing to sell
I'll change this heart of mine
This time, this time

Here comes the real thing
I've been waiting for so long, for so long
I've been looking for a love like you

Crossed line on a telephone
Crossed lies on a . . .
Crossed fingers and head for home
I'll change this heart of mine
This time, this time

They sink in a feather bed
?Got cool when you're stoned and dead?
I'm a fool with a size one head
I'll change this heart of mine
This time, this time

Here comes the real thing
I've been waiting for so long, for so long
I've been looking for a love like you

Jet plane in a rocking chair
Roller coaster roll nowhere
Deaf and dumb ?or dance it there?
I'll change this heart of mine
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time

Thanks Partridge
That's what I'd found.
But its a bit incomplete & the bits with "?" are probably wrong.
Its better than the "dancing bear" version though - which also mentions a "canny moan"!!!!

The lyric insert in the original vinyl release of Pour Down Like Silver (1975) has

Deaf and dumb old dancing bear

Soft soap and nothing to sell

Crossed eyes and a canny moan

Act cool when you're stony dead

I didn't know this song - but I'm guessing he's not a big fan of John Denver?


Cheers

Malcom - that's stunned me!!!
I thought those were completely laughable mondegreens when I saw them on the web.
I humbly apologise to all concerned.....

Cheers
