"Working with Fire and Steel" is a song by the English new wave band China Crisis, released as the second single from their second studio album Working with Fire and Steel – Possible Pop Songs Volume Two (1983). It peaked at No. 48 on the UK Singles Chart[2] and at No. 47 in Australia.[3] It was also a hit on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart where it reached No. 27.[4]

Critical reception

Spin said the song was, "pop in every sense of the word" but the meaning was, "too precious and couched in metaphor and the whole mix was too crowded with different sounds and instruments to be considered strictly pop. It was more than the average listener could decipher while watching MTV or tuning his car radio."[5]
