Chris Rea - Steel River Album “New Light Through Old Windows“ 1988.
This lyric refers to the appearance of the River Tees in the 1960s when it was at its most polluted. The song “Steel River“ compares the old polluted Tees with the later clean river, there being salmon, but no industry.
I was born and raised on steel river
I see it all like it was yesterday
The ships and bridges they were all delivered
From Sydney Harbour to the Cisco bay
And I met my love down on steel river
We served our dreams and spent our childhood days
In rainy streets, we’d kiss away the shivers
And hide from fear inside the latest craze
Dancing to Motown
Making love with Carole King record playing
And oh how I loved you
Say goodbye steel river
Ten thousand bombers hit the steel river
And many died to keep her running free
And she survived but now she’s gone forever
Her burning heart is just a memory
And I ran away from life on steel river
Luck or not I gladly took the break
The odds were low the chances nearly zero
A chance it was I had to take
Say goodbye steel river
They say that salmon swim in steel river
They say it’s good to see them back again
I know it hurts to see what really happened
I know one salmon ain’t no good to them
They were born and raised to serve their steel mother
It was they taught and all they ever knew
And they believed that she would keep their children
Even though not a single word was true
Say goodbye steel river..
