This ain't no upwardley mobile freeway,

Chris Rea wrote these lyrics almost two decades ago. This was the second part of a two part song. It was intended to describe the M25 loop road around London, UK. It makes an interesting description of our current economic crisis.

The road to hell (pt2)

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
