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.

When The Piper Calls Lyrics

China Crisis

Water drenched people
Take me in from the rain
To a warm kind of heaven
Where its shining again
Ive seen some faces
Some old and some grey
But just like water
I let them slip away
And if I tumble
And if I tumble
When morning comes
I harvest my thoughts
They spread like plague
I hear them call
The bread in our mouths
The dirt on our hands
When she calls
And if I tumble
And if I tumble
I found a silent dream
And heald it for a day
But just like water
I let it slip away
When morning comes
I harvest my thoughts
They spread like plague
I hear them call
