Fountain Of Love

Lyrics

The Lost Episodes] version

It was September, the leaves were gold
That's when our hearts knew that story untold
We were young lovers
Strolling near
(The fountain of love)
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

Do you remember, I held you so near
Our love's glowing ember so precious and dear
We were young lovers
Strolling near
(The fountain of love)
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

We made a wish
And threw in a coin
And since that day
Our hearts have been joined
So all you young lovers
Wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far
We'll go on dreaming of that golden day
And remember the fountain is not far away

We were young lovers
Strolling near
(The fountain of love)
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
We'll keep right on dreaming
(Fountain of love)
And remember that fountain
(Fountain of love)
The fountain of love, now now now
(Fountain of love)

Notes About This Song

(The songs on Cruising With Ruben & The Jets are) "...more than recreations, they're careful conglomerates of archetypical cliches. For instance one song on the 'Ruben & The Jets' album simultaneously has quotes from background chants sung by 'The Moonglows', the opening theme of 'The Rites of Spring', in fact the tune is 'Fountain Of Love', it's on the fade-out but nobody ever heard that as 'The Rites Of Spring' because there's like five different levels of musical accompaniment going on, not counting the band. There's all these different vocal parts and they're all cliches and they're all carefully chosen for nostalgia value and then built into this song with the most imbicile words in the world." - Frank Zappa interview for International Times (isuue 63) 1969
