Reel Around the Fountain (alternative Troy Tate mix From 1983 - Different From All the Others Offered Before) 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 will take it now
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

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, well, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people said that you were easily led
And they were half-right


Oh, they said
And 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 that 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, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

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, I, oh, I do, oh-oh-oh

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 heaven of your bed"
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You're the bee′s knees, but so am I

Oh, meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I'll take it slowly
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

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, no, I wouldn't say no
Oh, people see no worth in you
I do
Oh, I, I do, oh-oh-oh

Oh, I do know
Oh, I do know
Oh, I do know!
