Lyrics
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
Fifteen minutes with you
well, I wouldn't say no
people said
that you were virtually dead
and they were so wrong!
fifteen minutes with you
I wouldn't say no
people said
that you were easily led
and they were half-right
they, they were half right
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
Fifteen minutes with you
I just wouldn't say no
people see no worth in you
oh but I do
fifteen minutes with you
I just wouldn't say no
people see no worth in you
I do
I, oh I do
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
shag me on the patio
I'll take it slowly
Fifteen minutes with you
oh I could never say no
people see no worth in you
oh but I do
fifteen minutes with you
oh I just couldn't say no
people see no worth in you
I do
I, I do
Oh I do, Oh I do, Oh I do.
Quotes
"Obviously most people who write do borrow from other sources. They steal from other's clothes lines. I mentioned the line 'I dreamt about you last night and I fell out of bed twice' in 'Reel Around The Fountain,' which comes directly from A Taste Of Honey, and to this day I'm whipped persistently for the use of that line. I've never made any secret of the fact that at least 50 percent of my reason for writing can be blamed on Shelagh Delaney who wrote A Taste Of Honey."
- Morrissey, NME, 7 June 1986
"...loss of innocence, that until one has a physical commitment with another person, there's something childlike about the soul."
- Morrissey explains the meaning of 'Reel Around The Fountain', Rolling Stone, 1986
