Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture mathis Wanna Be	#1 by mathis jacobs at Feb 28, 1970 at 10:21 PM EST
	A classic, really nice song, i dunno if hes talkin about a certain place (as long as i gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise) that makes all his fears and shit go away, i dunno, cool song anyway, the kinks were great

ian Average	#2 by ian mckinly at Jan 6, 1982 at 5:09 AM EST
	i don't know, but I think the sun setting over the Thames, with the city in the background is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. I'm not english but I did fall in love with London. And I agree that that area is a bit grotty from the ground, muggers and all that, but from a window it's bliss

Garrey Average	#3 by Garrey Adams at Apr 8, 1982 at 11:57 AM EST
	Actually very similar to the way I feel about Manhattan

Magna Wanna Be	#4 by Magna at Mar 14, 1989 at 1:26 AM EST
	I\'ve heard that when Ray Davies was writing this, years before it was recorded, it was called Liverpool Sunset, but then with all the Beatlemania and the like, they changed it, so it didn\'t sound like a ripoff. Just a little random piece of info there! I absolutely adore this song anyhow, it reminds me of my mum continually playing this when I was a kid. It just seems to mean a nice happy place someone can go to, where all troubles diseappear, at least for the time being.

Corey Wanna Be	#5 by Corey at Jun 12, 1993 at 11:18 PM EST
	I concur.

Kyle Rhythm Player	#6 by Kyle Robinson at Jun 22, 1994 at 8:34 PM EST
	im british too! yep is a great song. I suppose its quite self explanitary, but i suppose it may have a deeper meaning that i havnt figuered out?

	I would never consider Waterloo (south of the Thames - area named after the battle where Napolean was defeated by the Prussian and British forces) as paradise. In fact having worked in the area and got mullered up with alarming regularity at the 'hole in the wall' and down 'the cut', staggering my way back through the bull-ring (when it used to be cardboard city before the Imax was built) I would say it is and was far from paradise. However the bacon butties at Marios (just opposite Waterloo station where Buster, the ex great train robber used to sell flowers) is still one of the best in the smoke. Having said all that 'to look at the world from my window' just says so so much about life in waterloo and anywhere else that is an inperfect paradise.

Matt Average	#8 by Matt Thomas at Jan 4, 1996 at 6:56 PM EST
	This song is about two lesbian lovers and the writer's distant fascination with the pair. Not unlike the much later Kinks song Art Lover.

Defranco Average	#9 by Defranco at May 2, 1996 at 8:23 AM EST
	Not nearly enough British songs written about British places. I'm British :)

katie Average	#10 by katie focner at Nov 3, 1999 at 6:30 AM EST
	I'm also biased because oddly enough I used to meet my boyfriend there every friday night. ah young love

da Wanna Be	#11 by da nooberist at Jan 8, 2000 at 5:12 PM EST
	The best song ever written. Musically and lyrically. Just perfect from start to finish.

Ricky Wanna Be	#12 by Ricky at May 25, 2007 at 6:14 PM EST
	The song is a classic, I've been to Waterloo, I'd love to tell you its a beaituful place but its just like any other train station. Waterloo Bridge is right next to the houses of parliment
