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.

Hampton Beach Lyrics

China Crisis

On with the coloured lights
Waiting in the winds for attention
It doesnt really come from me
Im missing everything you see
And who could ask for more
Lay me on a beach in new hampton
Its not a million miles away
Im serious in every way
When do I be still?
And in this marching ends
Playing out of here into nowhere
Im not about to change my mind
Uncertain for the very last time
When do I be still
With you in mind?
On with the coloured lights
Knowing theres a place for you always
Acceptance isnt easy, I know
Its better than to live alone
And who could ask for more
Waiting in the winds for attention
Im not about to change my mind
Uncertain for the very last time
When do I be still
With you in mind?
