Lyrics for Waterloo Sunset

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 (Sha-la-la) everyday I look at the world from my window (Sha-la-la) but chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine (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 (Sha-la-la) everyday I look at the world from my window (Sha-la-la) but chilly, chilly is the evening time Waterloo sunset's fine (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 (Waterloo sunset's fine)
