Songfacts®:

  • According to the album inset, this track runs to 4 minutes 50 seconds, was co-written with Peter White and was published in 1980 by Frabjous/Approximate Music and Lobster Music.

    Surprisingly uptempo, "Constantinople" might be described as historical folk rock meets hard rock; the Mohammed alluded to in the chorus is Mohammed II, not the actual founder of Islam. >>
