Chris Rea - The Road To Hell




Chris Rea - The Road To Hell Lyrics

Part 1:

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

Part 2:

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
Not 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

Nightwish - The Poet and The Pendulum

The Poet And The Pendulum Lyrics The end The songwriter?s dead The blade fell upon him Taking him to the white lands Of Empathica, Of Innocence Empathica Innocence The dreamer and the wine Poet without a rhyme A widowed writer, torn apart by chains of Hell One last perfect verse Yet still the same old song Oh Christ, how I hate what I have become Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray, to dreamer?s hideaway I cannot cry ?cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, the whore for the cold world Forgive me, I have but two faces One for the world, One for God save me I cannot cry ?cause the shoulder cries more I cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world My home was there and then These meadows of heaven Adventure-filled days One with every smiling face Please, no more words Thoughts from a severed head No more praise Tell me once my heart goes right Take me home Get away, run away, fly away Lead me astray, to dreamer?s hideaway I cannot cry ?cause the shoulder cries mo...

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. I wake up lonely, there's air of silence In the bedroom and all around Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away. It must have been love but it's over now. It must have been good but I lost it somehow. It must have been love but it's over now. From the moment we touched, 'til the time had run out. Make believing we're together, that I shelter by your heart. But in and outside I turn to water, like a teardrop in your palm. And it's a hard winters day, I dream away. It must have been love but it's over now. It's all that I wanted, now I'm living without. It must have been love but it's over now, it's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows.
