Green Day - A Quick One While Hes Away Lyrics




(Originally by The Who)

I. Her Man's, Been Gone.

Her man's been gone
For nigh on 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 crying can be heard all around the world.

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh.
Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh.

III. We Have A Remedy.

We have a remedy you'll appreciate.
Don't need to be so sad, he's always late.
We bring you flowers and things that'll pass your time.
We'll give him eagle's wings so he can fly to you.

Fa la la la la la
La la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
La la la la la la
Fa la la la la la
La la la la la la laaaa.

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

[Talking:]
We have a remedy! (We have...)
Little girl, stop your crying! (Stop your crying!)
Ivor the Engine Driver's gonna make you...
Feel alright!

IV. Ivor the Engine Driver

(Hey, ho, ha ha ha ha!)

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's 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.

V. We'll 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 soon be home.

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

VI. You Are Forgiven

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.
Cello, cello, cello, cello,
Cello, cello, cello, cello.

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.
It's like a dream to be with you again.

Ba ba ban ba.
Ba ba ban ba.

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. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven, forgiven)

Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven,
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven!
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven,
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, yeah!

You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)

You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven. (You are forgive...)
You are forgiven...

You, you! You are forgiven. (You)
You, you are forgiven. (You)
You, you are forgiven. (You)
You, you are forgiven. (You)

You are all forgiven!
