Chris Rea Steel River

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
