“Waterfall” is the 9th single from The Stone Roses. It was the fourth single taken from their debut album The Stone Roses. It was released on 30 December 1991 and reached #27 in the UK. The song was written about a tripped out girl who steals a car to drive to the coast. She then dumps it over a cliff.
