Does anyone remember a song from the 80s that went: "China, Chiiiina ..." |
|
"is that the way it's supposed to be" ??
"calling out for yesterday" ... ??
r something like that
I seem to remember it being by Red Riders, but I can't find anything on that song.
Thanks for any help.

1. Hmm, you're not thinking of 'Visions of China' by Japan, are you? |

I can hear the chorus of the damn song in my head (sort of) and it's driving me crazy.

9. They also did "Eve Of Destruction" |
|
I guess it was on their second release.
China was a very good song, IMO. :)
I have the original version, and an elongated dance version.

11. I posted that tonight on another thread! |
|
I love that version; very Byrds-y and hypnotic. They started out as a Clash-clone, too...

China
Danced with wind and danced with fire Killed the truth and called the liar Bleeding in its mystery when the moon began to fall Dreamers are not all they seem, sleeping in her silent dream She locks it all inside and hides it all away
China, China
Calling out to history Is that the way it will always be?
China, China
Questions in my hand, and then answers gone till I don't know when
verse: All you speak and all you hear Hand that's strong and voice it's clear An unforgotten memory when the moon begins to call Called you right and called you wrong Time, the shadow, sings your song Don't lock it all inside and hide it all away
China, China 4x

14. Judging by your screenname, it looks like you're an 80s music kind of guy! |
|
I love that REM song, as well.

I was a college dj in the 80's and REM was my favorite band for a long, long time. I haven't really liked their last few albums, but the earlier stuff is still pretty amazing to me.
