A Boy From Nowhere

Tom Jones

The doors are closed to such as I


A boy from nowhere


But not to those who merely buy the right


to go where


They'll be met with respect, not humiliation


A man's place on earth


I have come to realize


Is decided by birth


So what's the future


No matter where I go I will still belong...


In Andalusia


Where we don't know where the next penny's coming from


Something's wrong


I'm bound to Spain, I won't remain


A boy from nowhere


There has to be a place for me


And I must go where


I don't fantasize unlike a million others


Not a man alive


Had to beg or steal or fight more than me to survive


So what's the future


No matter where I go I will still belong...


In Andalusia


Where good honest men grow weak and the rich grow strong


Something's wrong


Another dawn, another boy


A boy from nowhere


My destiny will guarantee


I'll only go where


It's a fight to survive just until tomorrow


One more mouth to feed


And the way things are round here,


That's the last thing they need
