Reel Around The Fountain-The Smiths

Album: Hatful Of Hollow (1984)
Words by Morrissey
Music by Johnny Marr

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 ...

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

Fifteen 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 ... 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 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 ... oh ...

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

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

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

THE SMITHS = THE OXYGEN THAT I BREATHE DAY AFTER DAY, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, THE SUNSHINE IN MY SOUL, THE SMILE ON MY FACE - THE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!!!!!!!!!! :-))))

[KellyAnn Moss]

I'm sorry I married that monster. I'm sorry he beat you, locked you in your room and threw your toys off the bridge. I know you find a lot of solace in this song. When I fell apart with alcohol, again I'm sorry, I was lost for a while in my own pain. Don't let him destroy you because then that a-hole wins again and he isn't worthy. Pick yourself up and brush yourself off and get on with living. I made a bad choice and I can't fix that but I love you so much... Mom :)

[philaboston]

[cipriani100]

This is one of my evermost smths songs, and i am currently working on a acoustic guitar version of this song !!!

[ivonnedivine1]

This song is about pedophilia

[Anthro0]

"brush yourself and get on with living" + a smiley in the end? are you even serious? If this ever happened, committing personal failure via commenting random on youtube surely wont do anything but I dont even think you understand that.

[J Brent Jones]

The Smiths were totally unique. They moved me like no there bad 23 years ago. I respect that some people do not get them. I do not get a lot bands that millions of others do, so I figure it must be me when that happens. But when it comes to the Smith's I get a little more defensive because they were so special and cannot be dismissed. Even if you believe they are over-rated and (if thing they are under-rated), please realize it is probably you that does not get it.The Smiths are one of a kind

[Martyn Smith]

Just hearing the first few bars of virtually any Smiths/Morrissey track transports me to a happier place.....I love lots of music, but The Smiths would be my desert island choice.....so much more than just music....The Smiths and Morrissey mean so much to me.....please Morrissey, keep creating, I beg you :o)
