With their tousled and tangling hair
Looking straight at the camera they stare
In the days on the page
They are small for their age
They are the children of waterloo square
They may seem familiar somehoew
But they’d be in their seventies now
They were 8, 9 and 10
Still on rationing then
Only ate what the state would allow, the state would allow
Out came the sun from the shadows of war
On the bombsites, thе weeds became flowers thеy saw
Then they had cash in their hands
And from sellers the bands played rock and roll
Blue beats and soul in Waterloo square
And despite those clothes that they wear
They will hold their heads in the air
In the time coming soon men will walk on the moon
And the children of Waterloo square
They will dance to different beats
On these dark Victorian streets
Then the flatblocks will rise
Right in front of their eyes
But they’re mesmerised in their seats
By their TV’s
Out came the sun from the shadows of war
On the bombsites, the weeds became flowers they saw
Then they had cash in their hands
And from sellers the bands played rock and roll
Blue beats and soul to Waterloo square
Waterloo Square
