...but does anyone know what a 'jumping sign' is?
It's only just struck me, 45 years after the song's release!
"Long shot of that jumping sign"
Re: "Long shot of that jumping sign"
Never read that much into aside from the cinematography references. It's a long shot on that sign, a close-up of the "We Never Close" sign and the dragging the lake lyric always gave me the impression of a "No Jumping/Diving" sign at the water's edge or on a bridge.

I always thought of it as one of those neon signs that as flashing, either by design or because the lights were faulty

How about....'JUMP IN' sign?
I never understood the lyric at the wiki saying..."cut the baby" when it should clearly read "cut TO baby!"
Though I do like dave's logic.

Oooh sounds feasible!geebot wrote:lyric always gave me the impression of a "No Jumping/Diving" sign at the water's edge or on a bridge.
I wondered if it was one of those signs hung in a frame, like a traditional pub sign, therefore it could be jumping in the wind. But it would really be swinging, not jumping.
We may never know!!

I guess that might be the reason for me residing on the sofa in the livingroom!sulky lad wrote:krm wrote:I always thoughtl of something like this https://www.jantecneon.com/HS-80-55.html
