26/05/1983 Top of the Pops

Hello. Welcome to a slightly earlier and slightly shorter edition

of Top of the Pops tonight.

But we're going to get as many of your favourite tunes in

as we possibly can.

First off, here's Big Country's new single. This is In A Big Country.

APPLAUSE

# I've never seen you look like this without a reason

# Another promise fallen through Another season

# Passes by you

# Shock

# I never took the smile away from anybody's face

# And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child

# In a big country dreams stay with you

# Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

# Stay alive

# I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

# But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

# I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

# But I can live and breathe and see the sun in winter time

# In a big country dreams stay with you

# Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

# Stay alive

# In a big country dreams stay with you

# Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

# Stay alive

# So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you

# Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded

# Pull up your head off the floor Come up screaming

# Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted

# I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered

# But you can't stay here with every single hope you had shattered

# Shock

# I'm not expecting to grow flowers in a desert

# But I can live and breathe and see the sun in winter time

# In a big country dreams stay with you

# Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

# Stay alive

# In a big country dreams stay with you

# Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

# Stay alive

# In a big country dreams stay with you

# Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside

# Stay alive. #

# To want this love of mine

# But what else can I do girl

# But let you know my love waits here for you

# What kind of boy you're looking for girl

# Must he be just like your favourite movie star

# What kind of boy you're looking for girl
