Reel Around the Fountain - 2011 Remaster Songtext
von The Smiths

It′s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old

It's time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old

Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I′ll take it now
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

15 minutes with you
Well, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people said
That you were virtually dead
And they were so wrong


15 minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people said
That you were easily led
And they were half-right
Oh, they
Oh, they were half-right, oh

It′s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old

It′s time the tale were told
Of how you took a child
And you made him old
You made him old

Oh, reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

15 minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn′t say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but I do


15 minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do
Oh, oh, I do
Ooh

I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me
Like a butterfly

But, "Take me to the haven of your bed"
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You′re the bee's knees
But so am I

Oh, me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I′ll take it slowly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

15 minutes with you
Oh, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
Oh, but I do

15 minutes with you
Well, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do

Oh, I, I do
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
Oh, I do
