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.

China Crisis

Original version

I can't stand this occupation
Always on the move
I feel dreams of building houses
And living inside them too!

I don't need this hand in hand
But that don't mean no feeling
I don't have to sit around
Listen to your rea- reasoning

I can't stand this occupation
Always on the move
I have dreams of being rich
And drowning in the sea
The sea

I don't need this hand in hand
But that don't mean no feeling
I don't have to sit around
Listen to your rea- reasoning
