When David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was asked in an interview if he could name any song he wishes he might have created, he replied it would be The Kinks' Waterloo Sunset, and went on to praise the song. www.songfacts.com /detail.php?id=4147 As Ray Davies admitted in an interview, "The Lyrics could be better" but they were "heartfelt and sincere" and "they dovetail with the music perfectly."

Waterloo Sunset by Ray Davies (British band The Kinks) - 1967 Dirty old river, must you keep rolling, flowing 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 But chilly, chilly is 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 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. |
