Good times? Maybe. Probably.

^ Yep, loved Waterloo Sunset and rushed out to buy the single as a kid. It helps that I know the place, and later learned that Ray Davies was thinking of a childhood stay in a London hospital when he wrote it. He really nails that odd blend of resignation, melancholy and optimism that goes with convalescence imo.
