Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks

Compuesta por Ray Davies este éxito de The Kinks del año 1967 habla sobre una pareja (ficticia, según comenta el autor) que pasea por el Thamesis y la estación de Waterloo. 

Según comentaba Ray en alguna entrevista la canción iba a titularse Liverpool Sunset, pues ésta era su ciudad preferida, pero finalmente la vinculó con sus vivencias londinenses, lugar donde nació y vivió.

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling

Flowing into the night

People so busy, makes 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

But 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

But chilly, chilly is the evening time

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 paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
