Hanna Hanna, she sing
mixed emotion and a garden strange
Hanna Hanna, she sing

We're living on a catwalk, catwalk
and swimming with the sharks

Tape record her and telephone
conversations in pyramids alone
Why should I stop to think what they're about
why should I stop, stop to think what they're about

We're living on a catwalk, catwalk
and swimming with the sharks
biting into poison, poison
in a city all full of fucking sharks

She sing
a guitar plays
in a garden strange

Hanna Hanna, she dream
mixed emotion and a garden strange
she never there, she never there
Hanna Hanna, she dream

China Crisis

China Crisis is an English pop/rock band. They were formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside with a core of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of New Wave 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.[citation needed] Throughout their career, China Crisis has seen moderate success in the United Kingdom with ten hit singles between August 1982 and January 1987 and six albums, as well as commercial success in Western Europe, Australia and the Americas. more »
