"The Road to Hell" is a two-part song written by Chris Rea and released on the album of the same name. It was released as a single, with only part 2 on the A-side of the 7". The single was his biggest success in the United Kingdom, peaking at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.
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…
The song was inspired by the frustrations of M25 motorway peak-hour traffic, although some say that it was actually inspired by the A19 near Middlesbrough, where Chris Rea is from.
The South African trio Mark Haze (from Idols South Africa season seven), Dozi and Ghapi recorded a version on their album Rocking Buddies in 2013.
