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.

In Northern Skies Lyrics

China Crisis

Day turns to night
And I turn on my side
To face my wife and child
Home to hold you tight
Beneath the stars
That shine so bright in northern skies
Here I take my place
In troubled times
Your clarity is my peace of mind
Time make a change
And in return
My solitude is laid to rest for always
Swim in the river
Waltz out together
Swim in the river
Now and forever
Fool I was to be
A little helpless
So starry eyed I could not see
Now youre all I need
A way of life
A world away from where I was
For always
Swim in the river
Waltz out together
Swim in the river
Now and forever
Day turns to night
And I turn on my side
To face my wife and child
For always
