Been trying to find a song for ages, probably from a band in the early 80s. All I can remember is some lyrics:

I don´t wanna live in China
I don´t wanna live in Japan
I don´t wanna live with with anybody
I don´t wanna live on Jupiter
I don´t wanna live on Mars

I did think it was Fire Engines or Pigbag but it wasn´t...

Any ideas

nothing springs to mind with those exact lyrics but for some reason keep thinking of Lines - The Planets

obviously stumping even the forum music experts...

I think it was the new wave time, on an indie label, a band with 4/5 guys, perhaps new wave/jazz funk stuff, and the singer had a screechy voice...

I saw them a few times in the early 80's supporting the farmers boys, when you mentioned Pigbag I thought it might be them but I did have to check up on it though.
