part 1 ve part 2 olmak üzere iki ayrı şarkıdan oluşan chris rea çalışması.. yabancı müzik dinlemeyenlerin bile mest olduğu, harika ötesi, tüm zamanların en güzel parçalarından birisi..
well i'm standing by the 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 pieces 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
inanılmaz melodik bir chris rea şarkısı, bütün umutsuz anlarımda karşıma çıkması ise sanırım bir tesadüften ibaret.
"well i'm standing by the river
but the water doesn't flow
it boils with every poison you can think of" *
chris rea ile sabah uyanmak, sizi hayata hazırlamak için birebir, işte bu parçada bunlaradan biri.
sözler ise ondan gelsin; "i'm standing' by a river but the water doesn't flow it boils with every poison u can think of..."
garip bir şekilde sizi alır geçmişe götürür. hayatı sorgulattırır. aynı zamanda keyif de verir. farklı boyutlara taşır. çok hoş bir Chris Rea şarkısıdır çok... art arda dinlettirir.
Nedense kimse sallamaz ama part 1'i asıl vurucu ikinci kısmından daha çok keyif almanızı sağlar.
Sözleri ise şu şekilde :
"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"
