Lyrics:
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

    Wow, amazing new version of the song I knew so well for 40 years. Looking forward to the 7CD/DVD Box Set of Lament. Great music.
  • @alviseravenna
    Beautiful memories... Ultravox was the first band I saw playing live, it was just the Lament tour, near Venice, in September 1984. Unforgettable gig, still very alive in my mind. And extraordinary band
  • @cherusker1005
    Great, great remix. This song is still so up to date even after 40 years.
  • @til.k.
    I love the original and the Special Mix of White China. So exciting to hear this new Remix!
  • @marquonuk
    One of the best remixes I've heard. It doesn't feel like it's been remixed to show off, as some do, but instead to find new things in the song and celebrate it. :-)
  • @drwarner
    So good. Was strange without the drum 'roll', but I liked what he did with it, a good respectful remix. Nice animation too
  • J'ai tout Ultravox.. ils sont top mais je trouve que cet album est le plus abouti...quel son et Sa voix merci Midge!
  • @COLIN10BC
    If this is anything to go by the remix album is going to be something really special.
  • @frankc.4012
    Brilliant Re-Mix. Steve Wilson did the song justice
  • @irisheyes6781
    We need more of these songs coming back ❤👍,I loved the 80s so much
  • @mistervid
    Fantastic remix, as is the Extended version on vinyl from Record Store Day. Looking forward to the release.
  • @timwilderspin
    Intriguing remix/edit, I do miss those ascending tom fills though, they were quite startling at the time. The mix could be longer too. Great to hear this though.
