"Waterloo Sunset" is taken from Something Else by The Kinks, the band’s fifth album, released in September 1967. The album documents the band’s continuing interest in baroque pop, folk and music hall styles, led by Ray Davies’s trademark songwriting finesse. Produced by Ray himself, the record blends delicate harpsichord, brass, and organ arrangements with stories of British life, family, and reflection. It features two of the band’s most celebrated songs: “Waterloo Sunset,” often hailed as one of the greatest singles ever written, and Dave Davies’s “Death of a Clown,” which captures a mix of melancholy and charm. Something Else is intimate and wistful — a portrait of The Kinks at their most nuanced.
The legendary British band formed by Ray and Dave Davies in 1963, The Kinks helped shape rock music with their sharp songwriting and unforgettable riffs. From "You Really Got Me" to "Come Dancing" via "Lola", their influence was far reaching through heavy metal, power pop, and modern rock.

Lyrics:
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
