“Waterloo Sunset was written when I woke up one morning,” he says. “It was completed quite quickly. My subconscious is smarter than I am. If I think about things too much they fall apart, so I go with instinct.” Written on a white piano in a suburban house in Fortis Green, north London, in 1967, the song uses everyday scenes – crowds swarming, lovers crossing a bridge – to inspire universal feelings of isolation and longing.
“I don’t write in a vacuum,” he says. “I watch people struggling, getting on with their lives.” He likes to pace the streets of London unnoticed and observing. That may be why he’s wearing trainers, although they’re silver and not exactly discreet.
