Álbum Deltics de Chris Rea - Canciones
Deltics
Reseña
El segundo álbum de estudio, Deltics, de 1979, muestra a un Chris Rea que intenta tomar un mayor control sobre su dirección artística, aunque todavía dentro de los parámetros del soft rock. Por consiguiente, este trabajo presenta un sonido que, si bien sigue siendo pulido, tiene un aire ligeramente más personal y menos orquestal que su debut. De hecho, el título hace referencia a una clase de locomotoras británicas, introduciendo la temática de los viajes y la carretera que sería recurrente en su obra.
La producción del álbum sigue siendo de una alta calidad, pero Chris Rea comienza a imprimir con más fuerza su sello como guitarrista, con su característico sonido de slide ganando protagonismo. Por lo tanto, las canciones, aunque melódicas, a menudo tienen un trasfondo de blues y una mayor energía rítmica.
Además, el álbum contiene la canción que le da título, una pieza atmosférica, y el exitoso sencillo "Diamonds", que funcionó muy bien en las listas europeas. Como resultado, 'Deltics' fue un paso importante en la consolidación de su carrera, especialmente en Europa, donde su popularidad comenzaba a crecer de manera sólida.
Sin embargo, el gran éxito en el Reino Unido todavía se le resistía. A pesar de ello, el disco es un trabajo de gran calidad que muestra a un artista en plena evolución, buscando pacientemente el camino para reconciliar sus raíces de blues con las demandas del pop-rock comercial. En resumen, es una obra de transición muy disfrutable.

- Twisted WheelVer letra 5:12
[X]letra de Twisted Wheel
I can see him now, standing on a street corner
Pastel shades and a candy stripe parallel
Good time love, oh that I'd been much older
Go messing with the boys from the incrowd
But all I could do was wish them farewell
What's that strange music
What's that fully rhythm
They call it Blue Beat, but you can call it young love
You can call it tamla dream
Down at your local Motown machine
I need to be loved
Down at your Twisted Wheel
And I can see that little stage
All the hands up in the air
Bombers and blues gonna see us through
Got my new lime suit mohair
With a single vent sixteen inch
Got my two-stroke wheels outside
We only need the High Numbers now
And anything on stateside
Down at your Twisted Wheel - The Things Lovers Should DoVer letra 3:30
[X]letra de The Things Lovers Should Do
Standing in the half light, wondering if you can
There stands the priest of sinners, consolation in his hands
Though he prays he won't need it, he keeps it by his side
Waiting for the face up and the answer in her eyes
All while the music's playing a backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do
Disco-queens in dancestep, moving face to face
All tangled up in neon don't think it's some disgrace
The blue western denim, the East Coats razor edge
The European fashion, the leathers and re-threads
All while the music's playing a backdrop serenade
There's only one point of view
To be doing the things, things that lovers should do - Dance! (Don't Think) 3:44
- Raincoats and a Rose 4:05
- Cenotaph/Letter from Amsterdam 5:47

Burlington Zephyrs
and Kenworths that pass in the night
Deltics and Steamers and F88's in full flight
Old train take me back again
To the one that I love
Deltics - DiamondsVer letra 4:52
[X]letra de Diamonds
Oh getaway 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, she don't need diamonds
My love's more than 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
They 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, take a chance?
But babe you should have stayed at home
My love, my love, she don't need diamonds - She Gave It AwayVer letra 3:57
[X]letra de She Gave It Away
She gave away all her love
No reason to keep it
She'd saved it for only one
But he didn't need it
And downtown the midnight circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
Offering dreams, like the gloss magazines
She had so much to give so she gave it away
And all of the loves you've known
There must have been someone
Who gave you that starry night
And whose gonna point the finger
Only those who never known
She lost and she cried, the tears run dry
She had so much to give so she gave it away
Mary was like you and I
She remembers how she lay with him
But to the world she's just a drunken cheap trick
Red light side kick, an angel downtown
The priest calls her Wednesdays
And shows her a wooden cross
He tells of the love he's found
She thinks of the one she lost
And downtown the midnight circus
Hypnotised like a spinning top
So easy to choose when there's nothing to lose
She had so much to give so she gave it away - Don't Want Your Best Friends 3:42
- No QualificationsVer letra 2:17
[X]letra de No Qualifications
Now he wanted to fly all those big aeroplanes
Trans-continental and back home again
But his brain, it was grounded
His head could not cope
No qualifications, no reasons for hope
They told him the right way to fasten his tie
Beat him for laughing and never said why
They left his for dead when the results came through
And still never asked what he wanted to do
No qualifications so late in the day
We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way
Now to label your trousers and label your shoes
If you don't wear nothing then label that too
No qualifications, you are the time born
If you wanna succeed you better get some qualifications
So late in the day
We've screwed you up, well, now you make your own way - SeabirdVer letra 2:53
[X]letra de Seabird
I can't run
In your eyes there's no place left to hide
You've seen my every mystery just show itself and die
So I will fly before you
And all is all to see
Take my hand, understand, there're no more foolish dreams
So many things we just can't share
Are standing in between
So I will fly before you
And all is all to see
I will always want you near in the shallow lights of day
No-one else will share my nights is all that I can say
And I will always want you
But I will always fly like a seabird
And I will always love you
But I will always fly
