Is there any evidence that the girl and Ivor are caught "in the act", as the article would have it? This doesn't seem to be supported the lyrics themselves. Is there an interview with Townshend or something that supports this?

I agree, the lyrics do not support that they were caught in "in the act" of anything, note the lyrics: "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". This shouldn't need to be explained as such if they were caught in the act. There does seem to be a lot of quoting throughout this entry, however no references that relate any interview to those quotes. I removed that reference from the entry. Also, formal names of the different sections of the song are noted as 'Her Man's Gone,' 'Crying Town,' 'We Have A Remedy,' 'Ivor The Engine Driver,' 'Soon Be Home,' and 'You Are Forgiven', this is listed on one of the references, these are seen on reference "1" in the article.

Townshend says they are caught in the act on "Live At Leeds".

I have to question whether that is Moon singing the first section - sounds like Daltrey to me, and the live footage I've seen from Monterey and "Rock And Roll Circus" back that up. Moon sings on the four part harmony intro, but that's all. Has someone seen that "Moon sings on the first part" somewhere and got their wires crossed, or am I wrong? John M. 05:39, 24 December 2006
