Reel Around the Fountain (John Peel Session 18/05/83) 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

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, hey-hey
They were half-right, oh-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

Reel around the fountain
Slap me on the patio
I'll take it now
Ah, 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, ok
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 haven of your bed"
Was something that you never said
Two lumps, please
You′re the bee's knees, but so am I

Meet me at the fountain
Shove me on the patio
I′ll take it slowly
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

Hey-hey, oh, I do
Oh-oh, I do, oh
Oh, I do, oh
Oh, I do, oh
