Dirty old river must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy make me feel dizzy
Taxi lights shine so bright
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze at Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
Jelly jelly's in evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy I don't want to wonder
I'll stay at home at night
But I don't
Feel afraid
As long as I gaze at Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
Jelly jelly's in evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people
Swarming like flies round
Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie
Cross over the river
Where everything's safe and sound
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze up Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation.

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
