T'Pau
T'Pau was a late-1980s rock group led by singer Carol Decker. They had a string of Top 40 hits in the UK, and several hits in the United States and Europe.
T'Pau formed in 1986. The members originated from the towns of Shrewsbury and Wellington in central England and took their name from a Vulcan high priestess in the classic Star Trek episode Amok Time. Their debut single and first hit was the 1987 release Heart and Soul. Initially a flop in the UK, it first became a hit in the U.

Initially a flop in the UK, it first became a hit in the U.S. Billboard charts, reaching #4, a feat it repeated in the UK Singles Chart some months later. The same year, the band had their biggest hit with the ballad, China in Your Hand, which spent five weeks at Number One in the UK chart, and also claimed the top slot in several European countries, although oddly the song made little impact on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
They had a number of smaller hits which made it to at least the UK Top 40, including the singles Valentine, Sex Talk (a new recording of early flop single Intimate Strangers), I Will Be With You, and Secret Garden. Their 1987 album Bridge Of Spies (the album was called T'Pau in the U.S.) was a best seller and won several British record industry awards.
Nevertheless, the band failed to maintain their success and split in 1991. But Decker reformed the band with a new line-up in 1998, and T'Pau have in recent years attempted a comeback.
In May 2005, Carol Decker reached the final round of the ITV show Hit Me Baby One More Time, singing the T'Pau hit China in Your Hand.

China in Your Hand
by T'Pau
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 girl's 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 a life from a barren hand
Oh, eyes wide like a child in the form of man
A prophecy for a fantasy
The curse of a vivid 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
Whoa, 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
But you 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
Because they're only dreams
And you shouldn't push too hard no no

This song is so good, that When I listened to it again, it sounds completely new and beautiful. I'm going to listen again tomorrow so I can hear a brand new song. I'm not sure I've ever felt that way about a song until now.

@Robert Lee and what's annoying is that every time I tell someone in real life I liue Songs fro 60s 70s 80s and 90s that tell me that are a bit before my time? Geez you think? No thay are not because I don't stinking care if the old songs are before my time I watched Cartoons, Films and T.V Series that aired in thise Decades so what difference dose it make? I watched Top cat , Tom and Jerry , Wacky Races, Yogi Bear those Cartoon are from the late 50s early 60s and people tell me the songs are Before my time? Oh Barf whatever why is it that people make fun of me and think its hilarious to tell me old songs are before my time? Well guess what Who in the world cares? 😡 I will never like MODERN SONGS
