A Quick One While He's Away — The Who: текст песни

I. Her Man's Been Gone

Her man's been gone For nearly a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here

Her man's been gone For nigh on a year He was due home yesterday But he ain't here

Ii. Crying Town

Down your street your crying is a well-known sound Your street is very well known, right here in town Your town is very famous for the little girl Whose cries can be heard all around the world

Iii. We Have A Remedy

Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la

We have a remedy You'll appreciate No need to be so sad He's only late

We'll bring you flowers and things Help pass your time We'll give him eagle's wings Then he can fly to you

Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la Fa la la la la la Fa la la la la la

We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la We have a remedy Fa la la la la la la

Spoken

We have a remedy. We have!

Little girl, why don't you stop your crying? I'm gonna make you feel all right

Iv. Ivor The Engine Driver

My name is Ivor I'm an engine driver

I know him well I know why you feel blue Just 'cause he's late Don't mean he'll never get through

He told me he loves you He ain't no liar, I ain't either So let's have a smile for an old engine driver So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

Please take a sweet Come take a walk with me We'll sort it out Back at my place, maybe

It'll come right You ain't no fool, I ain't either So why not be nice to an old engine driver? Better be nice to an old engine driver Better be nice to an old engine driver

V. Soon Be Home

We'll soon be home We'll soon be home We'll soon We'll soon, soon, soon be home

Come on, old horse

Soon be home Soon be home Soon We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon We'll soon, soon, soon be home

We'll soon be home Soon be home ...

Vi. You Are Forgiven

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang

Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello Cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello

I can't believe it Do my eyes deceive me? Am I back in your arms? Away from all harm?

It's like a dream to be with you again Can't believe that I'm with you again

I missed you and I must admit I kissed a few and once did sit On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap And later with him, had a nap

You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... [ad lib]

You are forgiven
