Saint Motel - A Quick One While He's Away Lyrics

Saint Motel Lyrics

"A Quick One While He's Away"
(originally by The Who)

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

(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 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
There we lay and, 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)
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven (You are forgiven)
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven, woah

(You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven (You are forgiven)
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven (You are forgiven)
Forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven, forgiven (You are forgiven)
You are forgiven, woah

You are forgiven!
