From Wikipedia: China Crisis is a British rock group formed in 1979 in Kirkby on Merseyside, with a core band of vocalist/keyboardist Garry Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of the new romantics, but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early 1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary. Sharing an affection for Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, and Brian Eno, Daly and Lundon had become burned out from playing with various Knowsley post-punk groups. Daly quit school and then spent much of his time indoors tinkering with synthesizers and a drum machine. Along with Lundon, Daly began writing songs using his high-tech toys.

Day after day
In my hometown
Trade undismayed
And so proud
Life under no illusions
Illusions fade away
No mindless politician
Is needed
When grown men
Whove worked for years
In return, in a word
Are reduced to tears
Rain fall on down
Onmy home town
Fall on us all
On new ground
Survival of the happiest
The politics of being
For the mindless politician
Theres no place
When grown men
Whove worked for years
In return, in a word
Are reduced to tears
Day after day
In my hometown
Stay who will stay
In the old town
