'China in Your Hand' was recorded by the band T'Pau and released from their album Bridge of Spies. A re-recorded version was released as a single in October 1987, spending five weeks at number 1 in the UK Singles Charts and is arguably the song for which the group is best known for, though their debut single 'Heart and Soul' was a much bigger hit in the United States.'China in Your Handwas the 600th song to top the UK charts, famously stopping The Beatles George Harrison from hitting the top spot.
The song's lyrics refer to the novel Frankenstein and its author Mary Shelly. This is more readily heard on the longer album version of the song, as the re-recorded single edit omits most of the more obvious references to the book. The song's title was more unclear however and when quizzed, co-writer Ron Rogers was unsure of to what it referred. Lyric writer Carol Decker explained that it is the effect that if you hold a china cup to a light, you can see your hand through it - therefore 'china in your hand' means something that is transparent.
