A Quick One, While He's Away Lyrics


In parentheses are the different parts of the song
Enjoy!
" I. Her man's been gone"
Her man's been gone
For a night on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
Her man's been gone
For a night on a year
He was due home yesterday
But he ain't here
"II. Crying town"
Down your street your crying is a well know sound

Your street is very well know throughout your town
Your town is very famous for a little girl
Who's crying can be heard
All around the world
(ooooo's)
"III. We have a remedy
We have a remedy
You'll 'appreciate
No need to be so sad
He's only late
He'll bring us lots of things
For that your time
we'll give him eagle's wings
So he can fly to you
(falalalala's)
We have a remedy
Falala la la lala (x3)
We have a remedy!
We have!
Little girl stop your crying!
Ivor the engine driver's 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 'cuz 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 lets have a smile for an old engine driver
Lets have a smile for an old engine driver
"V. Soon be home"
I'll soon be home
I'll Soon be home
I'll soon
Soon soon soon be home!
(x2)
Come on ol' horse
Soon be home
Soon be home
Soon
I'll soon soon soon be home
"VI. You are forgiven"
Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang,dang dang
Jerald Jerald Jerald Jerald Jerald Jerald Jerald
Jerald Jerald Jerald Jerald Jerold Jerald Jerald
jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald
jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald jerrald
I don'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!
Its like a dream to be with you, again!
I missed you when
I must admit
I kissed a few
And once did sit
On Ivor the engine drivers lap
And later with him
Had a nap!
You are forgiven
(repeating)
Your all forgiven!

The Who are an English rock band formed in Shepherd's Bush, West London, United Kingdom, in 1964. They grew to be considered one of the greatest, most influential, and awarded recording groups in the world. They are also famed for their prowess as a live band--being described as "possibly the greatest live band ever"--due to their energetic, tight, loud performances and smashing of instruments. The primary lineup was: Pete Townshend (lead guitar, vocals), Roger Daltrey (lead vocals, harmonica, percussion), John Entwistle (bass, vocals, french horn) and Keith Moon (drums, occasional vocals).

The Who rose to fame in the United Kingdom with a pioneering instrument destruction stage show, as well as a series of top ten hit singles (including the celebrated "My Generation") and top five albums, beginning in 1965 with their first single release "I Can't Explain". They first hit the top ten in the USA in 1967 with "I Can See for Miles". The 1969 release of Tommy was the first in a series of top five albums for the group in the USA, followed by Live at Leeds (1970), Who's Next (1971), Quadrophenia (1973), and Who Are You (1978). Live at Leeds is commonly cited as one of the albums that brought hard rock into the mainstream during the early 1970s.

A mere three weeks after the release of Who Are You, Keith Moon passed away from an overdose on 7 September 1978. Kenney Jones of Small Faces/Faces took over on drums after Moon's death. The band would release two more studio albums: the top five Face Dances (1981) and the top ten It's Hard (1982), before officially disbanding in 1983. They reformed on several occasions to perform at special events such as Live Aid and for reunion tours such as their 25th anniversary tour in 1989, and the Quadrophenia revival tours of 1996 and 1997.

In 2000, the three surviving original members began to discuss the possibility of recording an album of new material. These plans were delayed following the death of John Entwistle in 2002 from a cocaine-induced heart attack. However, subsequent to this, Pino Palladino became their touring bass player. Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey continue to perform and record as The Who; their latest studio album, Endless Wire (2006), reached the top ten in the USA and UK.
