1827 – David Gilmour – There's no way out of here (1978)

 

Escrita por Ken Baker, foi gravada entre fevereiro e março de 1978, no Super Bear Studios, em Nice, France. Foi lançada em 26 de maio de 1978, no disco de estréia de David Gilmour, chamado apenas de David Gilmour. Foi produzida por David Gilmour. O único compacto do disco foi justamente There's no way out of here. Foi um fracasso na Europa, mas tocou bem nas rádios americanas que só tocavam LPs. Ela não foi gravada originalmente por Gilmour. Trata-se de um cover da banda Unicorn, que a gravou em 1976, no disco Too many crooks, que foi produzida por David Gilmour. David cantou, tocou guitarra, violão, lap steel guitar, tevlado e gaita. Rick Wills tocou baixo e fez backing vocals. Willie Wilson tocou bateria e percussão. Carlena Williams, Debbie Doss e Shirley Roden, fizeram backing vocals.

A letra:

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

There are no boundaries set
The time and yet
You waste it still
So it slips through your hands
Like grains of sand
You watch it go
There's no time to be lost
You'll pay the cost
So get it right

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

There never was an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing

There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in
There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good

There never was an answer
There an answer
Not without listening
Without seeing

There's no way out of here
When you come in
You're in for good
There are no answers here
When you look out
You don't see in

There was no promise made
The part you played
The chance you took

(When you come in)
(You're in for good)
