Who is the song about?
Been sorting out my iPod and ripping CD's. Came across Suggs' solo album, lovely it is.
Here's the question for you though. Years ago, when it was released, our Suggs was on Jools Holland's show, promoting the album, he sung the song 4am, and I heard the song, and then tuned out for a few seconds, just as Jools mentioned who the song was about (Terry and Julie I seem to recall are the names in the song). Now, do any of you lot happen to know who it was written about? It's one of those niggling little things :D |
I really dont know!:(:(:(
:D |
Well Terry met Julie at Waterloo underground and then crossed over the river to where they felt safe and sound, in the Kinks Waterloo Sunset, so???????????

Well, the lyrics are this:
4 am Terry turns he just cannot sleep from the ceaseless noise out in the street It's too hot, and it's too late, there's nothing he can do but wait Terry says I'm going nowhere fast Nobody hears there's no-one there Julie wakes to find herself alone Which comes as no surprise, no surprise, no surprise, to be on her own It's four in the morning Why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you I still want you back It's four in the morning Julie wakes to find herself alone Which comes as no surprise, no surprise, no surprise, to be on her own It's four in the morning Why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you I still want you back It's four in the morning Why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you I still want you back It's four in the morning Waiting I'm so tired of waiting It's four in the morning Why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you I still want you back I know what you're thinking You're alone now I'm sorry I hurt you I still want you back It's four in the morning Why don't you call me? I'm sorry I hurt you I still want you back So somone has been a fool and wants his girl back. It could be the same T & J, but I just get the feeling they'd be living in Camden Town, or somewhere around Finsbury Park, and I know my geography of London is a bit iffy, but I'm sure over the river down by Waterloo is nowhere near CT or FB |
ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I think you're spot on there though! check this out:
glad to here it! i was talking to some of the legends from the mailing list in the dc & explaning why it's my fave song off wounderfull for me it's a fantastic concept the continuing story of terry & julie from the kinks song waterloo sunset & what's happend to them nearly 30 years down the road everythings not all rosies as is the case for many people what a song, what a team, what day is it? Sweet. |
Sure it's not Terry and June? :D

Me is now happy, got some peace in my soul, and if I could, I'd clear the clouds and make the sun shine forever. |

nope, just happy, I've been known to write the odd poetic type thing from time to time when the mood takes me.

It went straight over your head then! :D
