Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night?
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I'm in paradise

[Chorus]
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

[Verse 2]
Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night

[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I'm in paradise

[Chorus]
Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly, chilly is the evening time
That Waterloo sunset's fine

[Verse 3]
There's millions of people swarming like flies 'round
Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound

[Pre-Chorus]
And they don't need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They're in paradise
