Written by Pete Townshend Recorded at IBC Studios, Pye Studios and Regent Sound, London in the autumn of 1966. Pete's first rock opera contains six separate songs, 'Her Man's Gone', 'Crying Town', 'We Have A Remedy', 'Ivor The Engine Driver', 'Soon Be Home', and 'You Are Forgiven'. Along the way the unnamed heroine pines for her absent lover, selects Ivor as a substitute, regrets her folly when her man returns, confesses her indiscretion and is ultimately forgiven.John:"We wanted to put 'cellos on the track but Kit Lambert said we couldn't afford it. That's why we sing 'cello, cello, cello, cello,'...where we thought they should be."

Green Day recently did a cover of this song, a really good one at that. It's nice to see other bands still appreciate The Who and pay them respect by covering their songs.
Not as far as I know! :( In fact I am pretty sure that they decided early on not to do it live, because it is not even there on the version they did live for BBC radio (seemingly earlier than any of the other live versions? Correct me if I'm wrong.).
