He took the mail train just before nightfall
In Valence, he's a mechanic
Tomorrow morning he must be in Paris without fail
And too bad for the job

For months now he's been looking at his ticket
His boss let him go
And no one could have stopped him
It's tattooed on his arm

Rossi, his words, his solos
And Parfitt and his Caster
The riffs full blast, the go go sound
The boogie woogie upside down

He took the mail train just before nightfall
He dreams of it to the rhythm of the rails
Oh tomorrow is the night of his life
The Quo's in town tonight

When he arrives in front of the hall it's noon
There are already guys he knows
Long hair, faded jeans like him
From everywhere, even a Japanese

It's the wait, we talk, we smoke while drinking beers
When they rehearse we can hear them
And when the barriers will part
He will run to the front row

For Rossi, his words, his solos
And Parfitt and his Caster
The riffs full blast, the go go sound
The boogie woogie upside down

Only 2 more hours, 2 hours to kill
And everything is ready for the battle
A chord and everything will explode
The Quo's in town tonight

It's started, it takes him from top to bottom
It shakes him to madness
The bass in his stomach and the guitars in his skin
They are two meters from him

And when "Down Down" comes, it's his favorite
If the drummer falls or goes to pee
There's no problem to replace him
He knows it with his eyes closed

Rossi, his words, his solos
And Parfitt and his Caster
The riffs full blast, the go go sound
The boogie woogie upside down

Heaven is here, it's hell!
It's the flames deep in the guts
There's nothing like these concerts
The Quo's in town tonight

And it feels so empty afterwards
When real life comes back
When we saw them salute
And you have to catch your train again

But this summer they will play at festivals
He will go during his holidays
In Belgium and Wales
The Quo's in town tonight

Rossi, his words, his solos
And Parfitt and his Caster
The Quo's in town tonight

Rossi, his words, his solos
And Parfitt and his Caster
The Quo's in town tonight

The Quo's in town tonight
