Letra de Canción: A Quick One While He's Away



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

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

Letra MP3 de A Quick One While He's Away

Por: The Who


The Who es una banda inglesa de rock formada en 1962. Originalmente se llamaba The Detours, aunque poco después adoptarían el nombre de The High Numbers para más adelante pasarse a llamar The Who. El grupo es considerado uno de los más influyentes en la historia del rock, y ha sido descrita como "una de las bandas más innovadoras y poderosas en la historia del rock".La banda es pionera del concepto de ópera rock, y se la considera precursora de subgéneros como el punk y el britpop. La banda solía ser destacada por sus conciertos, en gran parte gracias a la energía de sus shows, la personalidad de cada una de sus miembros, los "remolinos" de Townshend y al hecho de que, salvo Entwistle, los miembros solían destruir sus instrumentos al final de los shows. "Live At Leeds" es su álbum en vivo más reconocido por ser el primero y porque fue grabado en 1970, luego de que Tommy les consiguiera una mayor audiencia. La banda también participó en el Festival de la Isla de Wight de 1970 (show que luego fue editado en un álbum doble, Live At The Isle of Wight Festival 1970, con una lista de temas similar a la de Live At Leeds pero con la inclusión de toda su interpretación de Tommy), y en el de Woodstock.
