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.

Wall Of God Lyrics

China Crisis

Down on the seabed
Crushed by the wave
Twisted for money
Born I a slave
Devil on my back
Underneath my skin
Laugh at affliction
Knock but dont you fall in
Fever in my hands
And for the first time
In my small world
I have touched on greater meaning
And for the first time
In my small world
I have given myself to learning
There was a freedom
Hard to define
Vain and outspoken
Like no friend of mine
Devil on my back
Underneath my skin
Laugh at affliction
Knock but dont you fall in
Fever in my hands
And for the first time
In my small world
I have touched on greater meaning
And for the first time
In my small world
I have given myself to learning
Sail on me sailor
From london to cairo
Drugged up like fisherman
And cast of our halo
Devil on my back
Underneath my skin
Laugh at affliction
Knock but dont you fall in
Fever in my hands
