The Gap lyrics

Artist  : Thompson Twins 
Song : The Gap



 Send "The Gap" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Wake up in a strange land
one of forty
thieves.
And I see for the first time just
what you believe.
I go down to the market
where I can buy or sell
And I listen to the
chanting and all the lies that wise ones tell.
They say: East is East - West is West

Two different colours on the map.
We
say:	Break the line
chew the fat
keep
moving out into the gap.
Beggars in the
backstreets
there for all the world to
leave

It's you that's begging for
attention
well
it's all the same to
me.
And I won't ask permission not from
teachers or from kings

'cos I can see
for myself all the pain that you will bring.
They say: East is East - West is West

Two different rhythms on the map. . . .
East is East - West is West

Two
different colours on the map. . . .
Can you
smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?
Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred
million tears?
No need to be so frightened
of all the figures in the night

'cos
we shared the same emotions and no-one's wrong
and no-one's right.
They say: East is East -
West is West

Two different colours on
the map. . . .
They say: East is East - West
is West
. . .
They say: East is East -
West is West

Two different rhythms on
the map. . . .
