White china


When pale turns to pink
With a soft unnerving ease
And all you've built around
May just tumble to the ground

We stand or fall
With your future in another's hands
We stand or fall
When your life is not your own

When white turns to red
In the not too distant days
Will force and misery
Be the life you have to lead?

We stand or fall
With your children in anothers world
We stand or fall
When your town is not your own

Chorus:

White China
White China

When crimson takes a hold
When the lights go down on all you've ever known
When all you'll ever do
Is worked out for you

We stand or fall
When the thoughts you have are not your own
We stand or fall
When the freedom slips away

(Repeat chorus 3 times)

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics WHITE CHINA of ULTRAVOX is also present in the album The very best of ultravox (2003)

Biografia

Ultravox are a British new wave band formed in London in 1973. Originally called Ultravox! (with the exclamation mark), the name was inspired by the German band Neu!. After their first two albums, they dropped the exclamation mark. Their sound evolved from early progressive rock to a more electronic and melodic synth-pop, profoundly influencing the new wave scene of the 1980s. The band achieved international success with the album *Vienna* (1980), which included the singles "Vienna", "Dancing with Tears in My Eyes" and "The Voice”. Midge Ure, singer and songwriter, became the face of the group after replacing John Foxx in 1979. Other important members were Billy Currie (keyboards) and Chris Cross (bass). Ultravox released several successful albums throughout the 1980s, including *Rage in Eden* (1981), *Quartet* (1982) and *Lament*. After a break in 1984, the band reunited for some tours and sporadic projects. **Representative tracks:** Vienna, Dancing with Tears in My Eyes, The Voice, Hymn, All Stood Still
