the gap

• thompson twins'in seksenli yıllarda hit olmuş bir şarkısı. (into the gap albümünden - 1984)
  
  oryantal ezgilerle süslü bir new wawe. ilk kez dinleyenlerin şarkının girişine "ne bu ya, arap müziği mi ? " tepkileri ortalarda tebessüme^* dönüşür. sözlerde kırk haramilere gönderme yapıldığı da görülür. buyrun sözleri :
  
  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 listen to the chanting and all the lies the wise ones tell
  they say
  (chorus)
  east is east, west is west
  two diff'rent colors on the map
  we say break the line, chew the fat
  a keep moving out into the gap
  
  beggars in the back street, 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
  cause i can see for myself all the pain that you will bring
  they say
  
  hey!
  
  (east)...(west)
  (east)...(west)
  (east)...(west)
  (east)...(west)
  (east)...(west)
  (east)...(west)
  
  can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?
  dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears?
  and there's no need to be so fightened of all the figures in the night
  cause we share the same emotions and no one's wrong and no one's right
  they say
• you say party we say die'in harikulade eglenceli, pek güzel sarkisi.
