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)
