"Waterloo Sunset" as written by and Raymond Douglas Davies....
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, rolling into the night
People so busy, make me feel dizzy, taxi light shines so bright
But I don't, need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly chilly is the evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night
But I don't, feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly chilly is the evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound
And they don't, need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise
People so busy, make me feel dizzy, taxi light shines so bright
But I don't, need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly chilly is the evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo Station, every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander, I stay at home at night
But I don't, feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo Sunset, I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly chilly is the evening time, Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie cross over the river where they feel safe and sound
And they don't, need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo Sunset, they are in paradise

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 on Waterloo sunset
I am paradise.
Everyday I look at the world from my window
but chilly, chilly is the evenin' time
Waterloo sunset's fine
(Waterloo sunset's fine..)
Terry meets Julie
Waterloo Station
every Friday night
but I am so lazy
don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't feel afraid.
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise.
Everyday I look at the world from my window
but chilly, chilly is the evenin' time
Waterloo sunset's fine
(Waterloo sunset's fine..)
Millions of people
swarming like flies 'round
Waterloo Underground
but Terry and Julie
cross over the river
where they feel safe and sound.
And they don't
need no friends
As long as they gaze on
Waterloo sunset
they are in pardise
Waterloo sunset's fine (x3)
there's an underground (subway) station in London called Waterloo, right next to the Thames. Ray Davies grew up in London.........this song is said to be about his feelings for the place.
The song can work with anywhere, it just sounds so familiar from the first time you hear it, i guess it just naturally conjures up images of wherever you call home.
But yeah. Waterloo station is right next to the river, and right next to the bridge. It's a great song with great imagery.
