China In Your Hand - T'Pau

Blurb:
"China in Your Hand" is a song by British band T'Pau from their album Bridge of Spies. A re-recorded version was released as a single which spent five weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in 1987 and is arguably the song for which the group is best known in their native Britain, though their debut single Heart and Soul was a much bigger hit worldwide.

The song's lyric refers to the novel Frankenstein and the writing of it by Mary Shelley. This is more readily heard on the longer album version of the song, as the re-recorded version omits most of the more obvious references to the book.

It was a theme she had
On a scheme he had
told in a foreign land
To take life on earth
To the second birth
and the man was in command
It was a flight on the wings
Of a young girls dreams
That flew too far away-

Don't push too far
Your Dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself-
China in your hand

Come from greed
Never born of the seed
Took life from a barren hand
Oh eyes wide
Like a child in the form of a man
A prophecy for a fantasy
The castle in his mind-

Don't push too far
Your Dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself-
China in your hand

In your hand
Your hand

Don't push too far
Your Dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself-
Just shouldn't push too hard no no

Don't push too far
Your Dreams are china in your hand
Don't wish too hard
Because they may come true
And you can't help them
You don't know what you might
Have set upon yourself
Cos' they're only dreams
You shouldn't pust too hard no no
