" dunno if hes talkin about a certain place"

there's an underground (subway) station in London called Waterloo, right next to the Thames. Ray Davies grew up in London.........this song is said to be about his feelings for the place.

The song can work with anywhere, it just sounds so familiar from the first time you hear it, i guess it just naturally conjures up images of wherever you call home.

As well as there being an underground station, there's a massive station too!

But yeah. Waterloo station is right next to the river, and right next to the bridge. It's a great song with great imagery.
