Diamonds
(Chris Rea)

Oh get away and don't come back
Who do you think you're fooling with lies like that?
You have dreams that set the rain on fire
Burning with a cheap desire
And it's plain as grey, that what you say have meanings of their own
My love, my love, she don't need diamonds
My love, my love, she don't need diamonds

My woman is a sweet dream and she don't need diamonds
She shakes her hip to the tambourine and she don't need diamonds
If you can't love me for nothing then you can't love me at all

And it's plain as grey that what you say, have meanings of their own
We all got to dance and take a chance
But babe, you should have stayed at home
My love, my love, she don't need diamonds
My love, my love, she don't need diamonds

She don't need diamonds ....

Josephine
(Chris Rea)

There's rain on my window but I'm thinking of you
Tears on my pillow but I will come through
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
And ev'ry single step I take I'll take for you
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
Josephine, I'll send you all my love

Now there's a storm on my radio but I can still fly
But you are the reason, the blue in my sky
Josephine, I'll send you all my love, Josephine

Life without meaning I was walking away
In the coldest of winters the night becomes day
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
And ev'ry single step I take I'll take for you
Josephine, I'll send you all my love
Josephine, I'll send you all my love

You are my love, Josephine
I'll send you all my love, when I'm far away
I'll send you all my love, Josephine

Let's Dance
(Chris Rea)

When you sing of the joy only love can bring
Heaven knows it's in my heart and my soul
Caught in a world full of tears, so many bad times and fears
So while there's a chance and you're near
Let's dance, let's dance!

There's a world far away from the one we see
There's a dream I will never let go
One thing is certainly true: this moment's for me and for you
So while there's not a thing here we can do
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance!

The Road To Hell
(Chris Rea)

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 quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadows

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
Then 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 dawn here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road, this is the road, this is the road to hell
