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.

Greenacre Bay Lyrics

China Crisis

I wish I was an island,
Way across the sea
Run through my greenfield
Forever to be free
Sail, take me away
To greenacre bay
With hope in our hearts, together
Greenacre bay
Travel to my birthplace
Like darkhorse mystery
Sail from the mersey
A vision nearer to me
Sail, take me away
To greenacre bay
With hope in our hearts, together
Greenacre bay
Memories they have kept me
In times of hard and despair
Try so hard to make friendship
But nobody can hear
Sail, take me away
To greenacre bay
With hope in our hearts, together
Greenacre bay
