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 another time in another place
Carry the flag a picture of disgrace
South pacific soldier mountain-moving men
Children turn away
Just before the blast
Falling to the floor
And praying for the last time
Time to remember and lay another wreath
Blowing down kisses to my lover dead beneath
South pacific sailor movie-making men
Children turn away
Just before the blast
Falling to the floor
And praying for the last time
High above the church tower paint my house black
Move out to the country and never lookin back
South pacific soldier mountain-moving men
