Story Behind The Song

Travelled in Egypt, and found the culture fascinating, but realised how different to my own it was.

Song Description

Some people are born into their society and often don't appear to have a choice about how they live. They will be born and will stay in their country and their culture, never being aware of what else lies out there.

Lyrics

No Place to Go

No future, only what?s been done before
Born into a town with no roads out
Arrange a husband, for a price that?s agreed by two
Don?t touch that woman until then

Cover your body and cover your face
Only to come away in one place
Your hands, your eyes are all I see
My appearance brings shame, and yours I feel sorrow
I feel Sorrow


It seems like you?ve got no place to go
The western cultures are easy
Rules and children are born into your race
I feel such pity for you, but who am I to say
I was born in a different place, but you may pity me

Children tugging at my sleeve, they follow me for hours
I hear the Muslim cries throughout the night
Don?t touch that water
Poverty and sickness breeds
Mustafa take my hand, keep me safe, your languages amaze me
Your languages amaze me


I walk from tomb to tomb, in this dirty dry sun and heat
Our attention is held from stories of the kings and all the queens
Ancient times so advanced, it?s kind of hard to comprehend
Like today racial tension and thieves destroyed a whole lifetime
My Cutush sparkles of gold like the tomb of tutankamen
Do anything for me and I?ll have to pay the price to you

The art work and the jewels and the answers to all our questions
Disappear for re-discovery
As history grows beyond them, it?s leaving me speechless
It?s leaving me speechless
