WATERLOO SUNSET
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqLoYQx8BXo
Dirty old river, must you keep rollingFlowing into the night?People so busy, make me feel dizzyTaxi light shines so brightBut I don't need no friendsAs long as I gaze onWaterloo sunsetI am in paradise
Every day, I look at the world from my windowBut chilly, chilly is the evening timeWaterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Terry meets JulieWaterloo stationEvery Friday nightBut I am so lazy, don't want to wanderI stay at home at nightBut I don't feel afraidAs long as I gaze onWaterloo sunsetI am in paradise
Every day, I look at the world from my windowBut chilly, chilly is the evening timeWaterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)
Millions of people swarming like flies 'roundWaterloo undergroundBut Terry and Julie cross over the riverWhere they feel safe and soundAnd they don't need no friendsAs long as they gaze onWaterloo SunsetThey are in paradise
Waterloo sunset's fine (Waterloo sunset's fine)Waterloo sunset's fine
SUNNY AFTERNOON
The tax man's taken all my doughAnd left me in my stately homeLazin' on a sunny afternoonAnd I can't sail my yachtHe's taken everything I gotAll I've got's this sunny afternoon
Save me, save me, save me from this squeezeI got a big fat mama tryna break meAnd I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertime
My girlfriend's run off with my carAnd gone back to her ma and paTellin' tales of drunkenness and crueltyNow I'm sittin' hereSippin' at my ice cold beerLazin' on a sunny afternoon
Help me, help me, help me sail awayWell, give me two good reasons why I oughta stay'Cause I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertime
Oh, save me, save me, save me from this squeezeI got a big fat mama tryna break meAnd I love to live so pleasantlyLive this life of luxuryLazin' on a sunny afternoon
In the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertimeIn the summertime

All my life I've never stopped to worry 'bout a thingOpen up and shout it out, an' never try to singWonderin' if I've done it wrongWill this depression last for long?Won't you tell me?
Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?
Once we had an easy ride and always felt the sameTime was on our side and we had everything to gainThis could be like yesterdayIs that me or happy days?
Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to doNever had no money and they always told the truthDaddy didn't need no little toysMommy didn't need no little boysWon't you tell me?
Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to playAh, but then let's face it, things are easier todayYes, you need some bringing downGet your feet back on the groundWon't you tell me?
Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?Where have all the good times gone?
- And God Save The Kinks! -
«The Kinks» estrearam-se há sessenta anos.
Continuo a apreciá-los imenso. Eles foram um grupo que definiu o pop-rock britânico. Eu coloco-os, sem dúvida, entre os melhores dos anos sessenta! Muitos músicos e grupos, ao longo do tempo, foram inspirar-se nos Kinks.
As suas composições caracterizam-se por uma estrutura muito simples, dada pelos acordes de guitarra rítmica. Sobre esta base, desenrola-se uma melodia, bem apropriada à letra.
