Cathy Dennis - Waterloo sunset

Cathy Dennis (born Catherine Roseanne Dennis, 25 March 1969, Norwich, England) is a British dance-oriented pop singer–songwriter, record producer and actress. After a moderately successful international solo career, Dennis later received great success as a writer of pop songs, scoring seven UK number ones and winning five Ivor Novello Awards. As a teenager she was spotted recording Stevie Wonder-influenced demos at The Kitchen in Norwich with her father (himself an experienced musician and local restaurateur) on piano. At the time she was working for Norwich Union. Simon Fuller signed her to his 19 Management company (with whom she is still signed) and to label Polydor at aged 17, and this began a career-long association with the impresario that has seen Dennis provide songs for many Fuller-related artists and projects. In 2004, Dennis was listed 66th in the Q Magazine list of the top 100 most influential people in music and in 2006 she won the UK music industry's Woman of the Year Award. According to britishhitsongwriters.com she is the ninety-ninth most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history based on weeks that her compositions have spent on the chart. "Waterloo Sunset" is a song released as a single by The Kinks in 1967, a 1996 version of the song by Cathy Dennis. The lyrics are from the point of view of a solitary man on the south bank of the Thames watching (or imagining) the romantic encounters of a couple at Waterloo Underground, then crossing Waterloo Bridge, The couple - "Terry" and "Julie" - mentioned in the lyrics are widely reported and presumed as being British film stars of the time Terence Stamp and Julie Christie...

Dirty old river must you keep rolling, flowing into the night
People so busy make me feel dizzy, Taxi lights shine so bright
But I don't...need no friends
As long as I gaze at Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise...Sha la la

Every day I look at the world from my window...Sha la la
Jelly jellys in evening time...Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station, Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, I don't want to wonder, I'll stay at home at night
But I don't...Feel afraid
As long as I gaze at Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise...Sha la la

Every day I look at the world from my window...Sha la la
Jelly jellys in evening time...Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people, Swarming like flies round, Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie, cross over the river, where everything's safe and sound
And they don't...need no friends
As long as they gaze up Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine...

The marriage of british music and such a pop diva (with a touch of an english rose to her) was magically and the music is true english dance music to the extreme and something special. Mainly I like this music because it reminds me of my life when I was carefree and could really enjoy music......
