Lyrics
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling?
Flowing into the night
People so busy, make you feel dizzy
Taxi lights shine so bright
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise (sha, la, la)
Every day I look at the world from my window (sha, la, la)
Chilly-chilliest evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Millions of people swarming like flies 'round (ooh, la, la, la)
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river (ooh, la, la, la)
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't feel afraid (ooh, ooh)
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise (sha, la, la)
Every day I look at the world from my window (sha, la, la)
Chilly-chilliest 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 need no friends (ooh, ooh)
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise (sha, la, la)
Every day I look at the world from my window (sha, la, la)
Chilly-chilliest evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station (ooh, la, la, la), every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander (ooh, la, la, la)
I stay at home at night
(Ooh, la, la, la)
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
