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
