"Waterloo Sunset" — 1967. Terry and Julie. The most perfect pop song about observing London.
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 feel afraid
as long as I gaze at 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 July
Waterloo Station
every friday night
But I'am so lazy
don't want to wonder
I 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
chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of peopleswarming like flies round
Waterloo Underground
but Terry and July
crossover the river
where they feel save and sound
And they don't feel afraid
as long as they gaze at
Waterloo Sunset
they are in Paradise
Waterloo Sunset's fine (x3)
