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
Checking out the mail and all the bills to pay
Maybe something special's going to 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 passing you by
Can't help thinking 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
