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

What does he mean by "jam up with credit"?

by sanat bairi on 10/1/2008 5:43am
listen to the voice of chris, it is just awesome

by kiiL on 10/9/2008 3:05am
"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.

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

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.
