    Story Behind the Song
    "Hovercraft" underwent several overhauls before finally landing in the format heard here. The song is ultimately an expression of affection toward the author's lover, but also touches on kindergarten, soundmen, surfing, and the mysterious "Chez Situation." The Hovercraft itself stands as a status symbol attainable only by such obtuse rockers as U2, Aerosmith, and of course Rod Stewart.

    Lyrics
    Say good morning to Miss Owens
    Other children are telling what they're showing
    Put your coat down on the table
    Lets you know when you are feeling able

    Give a mellow hello

    Wake the soundman, take him surfing
    While the children laugh behind the curtain
    I can feel you in your corset
    I can see you from your bedroom closet

    Once I've got my fortune in the bank I'll buy you a hovercraft
    My car has no petrol in the tank, I'll ride your hovercraft

    She says:
    I can't make it by myself
    I could use a little help

    Say good morning to Miss Owens
    All the children play in Chez Situation
    Put your coat down on the table
    Lets you know when you are feeling able

    You lifted the ocean when I sank, you are my hovercraft
