Return To Waterloo Lyrics - Singles - Ray Davies

Look at all the people around me 

Same old faces joining the queue 

For return to Waterloo 

Return to Waterloo 

Started off this morning as usual 

Checking out the mail and all the bills to pay 

Maybe something special's going to happen 

Maybe this is my lucky day 

The forecast says heavy weather 

So take your umbrella just in case 

Will I get away, will I see it through 

On the return to Waterloo 

Return to Waterloo 

Return to Waterloo 

Somehow you feel that the world's been passing you by 

Can't help thinking somehow they're living a lie 

Now I'm asking questions, I never thought I'd ask them before 

Like "why" or "how" or "what am I doing it for?" 

Will I reach my destination 

Or will I get off along the way 

Will I reach my destination 

Will I reach my destination 

Have I stopped or am I only going slow 

Have we got a couple more stations 

Or is this as far as we all go 

The headlines cry out from the papers 

"Inflation," "murder," "wars," who really wants to know 

If I return to Waterloo 

It'll cost me more in 1992 

Will I get away 

Will I see it through 

And come back home to you 

On the return to Waterloo
