WATERLOO SUNSET by Ray Davies and the Kinks
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
“The composer Adam Gibbons has graciously developed and written a mini symphony-mix in honour of this painting - and the great city of London and the beautiful “dirty old river” the Thames. Not unlike Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” which has come to sonically symbolise New York City and the mighty Hudson River, Mr Gibbons’ symphony offers the same iconic sonic love for this great city of London. His composition is a modern masterpiece!”
