Chris Rea - The road to hell & lyrics (complete)

Stood still on a highway
I saw a woman
By the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own
Reflected in my window
Well she walked up to my quarterlight
And she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me
In my shadow

She said "Son, what are you doing here?
My fear for you has turned me in my grave"
I said "Mama, I come to the valley of the rich
Myself to sell"
She said "Son, this is the road to Hell"

On your journey 'cross the wilderness
From the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to Hell

Well I'm standing by a river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlights
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to Hell

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper
Flying away from you
Look out world take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast
And learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road to Hell

i really think that Cris Rea is one of the best blues and rock guistarist; I listen him for years almost 25 years and i'm not bored for his music.

Merci pour ce joli morceau qui met en evidence tout le talent de Chris Rea. Listen to the road to hell. Ican't see him when he came in France..<3

Great quality and best I've seen on YouTube. I was looking for Chris Rea's albums on iTunes but hardly any are on there. It needs sorting.

Thank you for the COMPLETE version. I have never forgot the comment about being stuck on the M25 for at least another 4 hours. More bad news more bad news, must have been reading the DM.
