lyrics

Brian's living in a town in southern Wales
Bored of his life he decides to get away
to spend some time in the sun
and get the strength to carry on

He takes a cab to the travel agency
to ask for any cheap trip down by the sea
out of the office there's a sign
„2000 pounds and you are in!“

Mr. Brian, I need you to sign
Congratulations! your about to leave
down to Greece

Ali-Asghar's suffering in the eastern sun
hiding from the war, bullets of a gun
leaving everything behind, because he needs to carry on

Anxiety, so he decides to run away
running miles and miles unshod, down to the bay
to catch a boat that he hopes will be a ticket to free-dom?

„Hurry on!“
.. someone's shouting,
„ten thousand dollars for a life in peace
down in Greece!“

Brian's going for a walk into the sun
too far away but he decides to carry on
He's passing by a rubbish dump,
converted to a camp.

Skinny goat, billow of smoke and broken tents
many faces staring out behind a fence
For no reason they're locked in
That's the union's greatest sin

„Please help me out“
someone is shouting.
„my name is Ali-Asghar and all I need
is to live in peace, here in greece“
