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

7 people got slapped on the patio...

[BazWildeClub]

This was the song that cemented their greatness.

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 :)

@regularguytoo1

This isn't about the Brady & Hindley murders-Moz used Salford playwright Shelagh Delaney as a major source of inspiration for this track. "I dreamt about you last night..." is a direct lift from the play 'A Taste Of Honey' by Delaney.

Suffer Little Children,however,was wrote about the Moors Murderers.

5:53 to za krótko - mogłoby trwać choćby 30 minut
