a similar experience happened with > 'moon at the window' from WTRF. there is the line " people don't know how to > love, they taste it and toss it, turn it off and on like a bathtub faucet " ( > ooh,ooh...) the love/faucet idea is from an old jazz standard, > which also escapes me, i am almost certain it is on a billie holiday > recording in my collection.
Billie's blues tune 'Fine and Mellow' uses this simile: Love is like a faucet It turns off and on Love is just like a faucet It turns off and on Sometimes when you thing it's on, baby It has turned off and gone I think it's probable that it was used before Billie put it in that song, too.
