Green Day A Quick One While He's Away Lyrics:
[originally performed by The Who] [I. Her Man's Been Gone] Her man's been gone
For nigh 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, throughout
your 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 guide, why
don't you stop your
crying?
Here comes Ivor the
engine driver to make
you feel much better
[IV. Ivor The Engine Driver] [ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/9MQv ]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
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
