Thompson Twins - The Gap 1984

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
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 to the rap
We say: Break the line chew the fat
keep moving out into the gap.

(Instrumental)

East is East - West is West
Two different colours on the map.
Break the line chew the fat
keep moving out into the gap.

They say: East is East - West is West
Two different colours on the map.
We say: Break the line chew the fat
