The Road To Hell (Part II) Lyrics
Artist: Chris Rea
Album: The Road 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 streetlight
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
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
Oh 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
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell

One of the most under-rated songs.
A great song with a message. Successful in depicting what it wanted to show us.
What does he mean by "jam up with credit"?

Hey what do you know! Someone wrote a song about the M180:
"Oh no, this is the road to Hell"
Seriously though, AWESOME song!
listen to the voice of chris, it is just awesome
"jam up with credit" means "jam up with cars". since most cars are bought on credit ... but seems like no one cares, song was out 18 years ago, look around you, you see people got message?
You said no one cares for credits!? After this big financial crisis delivered from American real estate market everyone will think twice before go to bank for loan - NO WAY MAN! I am very happy that stupid bank officials finally showed their real faces full of greed.
Really it is great, Mr Sanat, what you said is right. jararth@yahoo.com
Chris, I am a few years older than you and I know you will never read this, but I love the passion you have in your songs and you play one mean guitar. Godspeed to you
One of my favourites!
I've never thought before that i may get interested in such songs but... this song is extraordinary, outstanding. it has become one of my favourite songs performed by Chris Rea.
Gud Lyrics, gracefully sung. love to hear it again n again
The song begins by talking about excess-drugs, industrial pollution, etc. Then he's talking about how witnessing the world as it is, scares the living hell out of him and the fear has taken their smiles.
Second part is about society's excess in the form of lifestyle (keeping up with the jones's) and if we don't recognize it, it will eventually catch up with us. Money, money, money....the road to hell.
This song brings my old memories from childhood, when I was driving with my father behind the wheel. I did not have any idea what the lyrics were about but I could hear the fear... It is a really special song for me, helps to keep my father in my head. Thank you Chris.
very great solo with deeply message!
this songs can change ur whole thoughts about life
The best song Ever I Love it.Love his voice he is the Best.Check out his "Blue Cafe" .These two songs broke my hearth.
Very good song and very good singing

Best description of our materialistic world!
ME 2 ..... Love this SONG :X::XX:X:X
THE BEST SONG EVER !!!!!!
Indeed a gr8 song, good husky voice. Heard it on the UK radio when it was on the charts in 1989... Wonder why no one in the media invoke Chris Rea's "Road To Hell" during the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen...

20yrs on and still one of my all time favorite song. The text, guitar and percussion is simply awesome
smutna pisnicka, ktera me vzdycky zahreje na srdicku
Thank you for Road Chris! You are the
best in the world.Once more,thank yoy
forewer!
This is one of those songs I avoid listening to too much, so I can savour it afresh each time.
When I heard him say, years ago, "And all the roads jam up with credit" I said to myself, "You too know it's coming, dontcha, Chris?" my mind was on slowly crippling global economy, sucking one country after another into the debt trap.
Prescient, Chris.
Neverovatno dobra pesma, pogadja u srce ljudskog drustva.
THIS IS THE SONG TO HEAVEN
to jest naprawde bardzo ładna piosenka
by the way i love your songs
He describes how ill our minds are, still now in the 21 centuries(human beings). There is no hope, only clear minds with deep consciousness, in small steps... , perhaps starts to live in other ways, we have only these small chance... and never forget, the human life is the greatest experiment given by natur... what exists in the universe... so we should try to live in CONSCIOUS...
The road to hell INDEED! Fasten your belts!
This song is really brilliant. Its been used in the movie"Beyond the law" in a gr8 way. WAtch dat movie then you all going to understand
I heard this in the early 90s...played it all along with Gordon Lightfoot. WOW!! What a song!
Cris Rea is the best :)
Daniel from Kingston
Glad to see a Rover in the video. My husband says: This is our song.
this song is very nice.i can sing tis song well
Does anyone besides me have trouble listening to this song any less than two hours a day. This is a great song - so happy I discovered it. I recently"discovered" this one and Blue Cafe. Before that, I had only heard "Fool if you think it's over" by CR. Love his guitar, vocals and thought-provoking lyrics. Truly one of a kind.
Thanks Chris!
