Waterloo Sunset by Ray Davies (British band The Kinks) - 1967

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 
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is 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 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.

Sunny Afternoon - 1966

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Picture Book - 1968

Picture yourself when you're getting old
You're sat by the fireside a-pondering on

Picture book, pictures of your mama
Taken by your papa, a long time ago
Picture book of people with each other
To prove they love each other, a long time ago
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Picture book, picture book

A picture of you in your birthday suit
You sat in the sun on a hot afternoon

Picture book, your mama and your papa
And fat old uncle Charlie out cruising with their friends
Picture book, a holiday in August
Outside a bed and breakfast in sunny Southend
Picture book, when you were just a baby
Those days when you were happy, a long time ago
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Picture book, picture book

Last of the Steam‐Powered Trains - 1968

Like the last of the good ol' puffer trains
I'm the last of the blood and sweat brigade
And I don't know where I'm going, or why I came
I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains

I'm the last of the good old renegades
All my friends are all middle class and grey
But I live in a museum, so I'm okay
I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains

Like the last of the good ol' choo-choo trains
Huff and puff 'till I blow this world away
And I'm gonna keep on rollin' till my dying day
I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains

Like the last of the good ol' puffer trains
I'm the last of the soot and scum brigade
And all this peaceful living is drivin' me insane
I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains
I'm the last of the good old fashioned steam-powered trains
