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 Checkin' out the mail and all the bills to pay Maybe something special's gonna 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 passin' you by Can't help thinkin' 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
