0:07:54 > 0:07:58# I have nothing left to say

0:07:58 > 0:08:02The sky burns bright 24-hour night

0:08:06 > 0:08:09# And you don't pay death duties when you're on death duties

0:08:12 > 0:08:15looking for the peace and quiet

0:09:50 > 0:10:06# Hitchin' up her short skirt

0:10:09 > 0:10:12We're here to welcome a band who haven't been around for very long.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17Well, for a couple of years, anyway.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21They've got a single released yesterday - that's entitled Tonight.

0:10:21 > 0:10:33But here are the band that go like clockwork. The Boomtown Rats!

0:10:51 > 0:10:54# I'm in one place at one time

0:10:54 > 0:10:57# I'm neither here nor there

0:10:57 > 0:11:00# I get hooked to the mainstream

0:11:00 > 0:11:04# Plugged into my surroundings

0:11:04 > 0:11:05# I'm thinking in a straight line

0:11:05 > 0:11:07that these thoughts are mine

0:11:07 > 0:11:10# My heart is beating oh so fast

0:11:16 > 0:11:21# And I think in sync like clockwork

0:11:29 > 0:11:32# She's done away with emotion

0:11:32 > 0:11:35# She sees things clearly now

0:11:35 > 0:11:38# She thinks she sees it all

0:11:43 > 0:11:47I'm on your side for a while

0:11:47 > 0:11:51# She thinks that time is a concept

0:11:51 > 0:11:54# She wants to say it again

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Count the months and minutes

0:12:19 > 0:12:24You die in pain, that's your limit

0:12:55 > 0:12:57# And, hey, what's the matter?

0:12:57 > 0:13:01# We've got time, lots of time

0:13:05 > 0:13:08# I'm on your side for a while

0:13:27 > 0:13:31# My mind beats time like clockwork

0:14:09 > 0:14:12It's a bitch of a night. We're sorry you had to wait outside for so long.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18I don't think many people know, but Eddie Cochran died in Chippenham.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23And I think, after tonight, he probably won't be the only one.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Um...we've always been a dance band.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31which'll bore you to death,

0:15:12 > 0:15:14# I think I'll do my head tonight

0:15:25 > 0:15:27# Look at it, this way and that

0:15:27 > 0:15:29# Yes, you pile it up, spray it up

0:15:46 > 0:15:48# Nothing much to do tonight

0:15:56 > 0:15:58# It's just so, they're so...

0:16:02 > 0:16:05# And we all think the same

0:17:34 > 0:17:37One, two, one, two, three...

0:19:39 > 0:19:57# JFK, he didn't last so long

0:20:30 > 0:20:33# Trouble is, nothing ever gets done

0:20:52 > 0:20:58# So, listen, whatcha gonna do

0:21:40 > 0:21:44talk about it all the night

0:21:44 > 0:21:49the strangest place I've ever seen

0:21:49 > 0:21:54# We work at motion, work at time

0:21:54 > 0:21:59# Trouble is, we lose control

0:22:40 > 0:22:45I'm sure most of you have got Radio One on permanently all day.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53# I don't intend to copy any friend

0:24:00 > 0:24:04# You understand being used

0:24:07 > 0:24:10# You won't mind being abused

0:24:14 > 0:24:18# The mountains fall tonight

0:24:34 > 0:24:36# But you will, I say you will

0:24:38 > 0:24:42of the papers here and you will

0:24:48 > 0:24:51# You check and you reel me in fine

0:24:51 > 0:24:55with all those friends you got

0:24:55 > 0:24:57# You've been slumming in the slime

0:25:02 > 0:25:04# You understand being used

0:25:08 > 0:25:11# You won't mind being abused

0:25:21 > 0:25:24# Tonight - and no-one calls

0:26:08 > 0:26:11# Tonight the mountains fall

0:27:35 > 0:27:37# Why are you talking in code?

0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Wave me a flag or flash me an eye

0:27:52 > 0:27:54# But you're taking your time

0:28:03 > 0:28:08why you blind me with science

0:28:27 > 0:28:31# Well, it's all in your hands

0:28:34 > 0:28:36# Well, I like you, I think

0:28:45 > 0:28:50why you blind me with science

0:30:13 > 0:30:15# But you're taking your time

0:30:18 > 0:30:21# Cos when you talk in code,

0:30:21 > 0:30:22# Cos when you talk in code,

0:30:24 > 0:30:29why you blind me with science

0:32:23 > 0:32:26It's an important part of the show,

0:32:26 > 0:32:32I don't want to fuck anything up.

0:33:46 > 0:33:49# You come over to my place and you're screaming blue murder

0:33:49 > 0:33:52# Needing some place to hide

0:33:52 > 0:33:55# Oh, and I wish you'd keep quiet,

0:33:55 > 0:33:59# In these paper-thin walls

0:33:59 > 0:34:02# And when the place goes ablaze with a thousand dropped names

0:34:05 > 0:34:08# I got a friend over there

0:34:08 > 0:34:11# And he knows the situation

0:34:27 > 0:34:30# They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off

0:34:33 > 0:34:36# Now could that be construed

0:34:42 > 0:34:46# When the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak

0:34:48 > 0:34:52# And it's too hot to breathe

0:34:52 > 0:34:54looking at you, whoa-oh-oh-oh

0:34:54 > 0:34:57# Watch, someone's looking at you,

0:34:57 > 0:35:01looking at you, whoa-oh-oh-oh

0:36:31 > 0:36:50# Don't flatter yourselves,

0:36:50 > 0:36:53# It could fall on deaf ears,

0:36:53 > 0:36:56# There's a spy in the sky, there's a noise on the wire

0:36:56 > 0:36:59# There's a tap on the line for every paranoid's desire

0:37:02 > 0:37:04# Watch, someone's looking at you

0:37:05 > 0:37:07# They're always looking at you

0:37:25 > 0:37:28# Someone that's looking at you

0:37:28 > 0:37:37# Someone is looking at you

0:37:37 > 0:37:40# Someone that's looking at you

0:37:53 > 0:37:55# Someone is looking at you

0:37:56 > 0:38:02# Someone is looking at you

0:38:02 > 0:38:05# Someone is looking at you... #

0:39:09 > 0:39:11# Nights in white satin... #

0:40:01 > 0:40:04# Everything he loved had moved away

0:40:04 > 0:40:08# I felt despair come crawling

0:40:11 > 0:40:15that you were touched by fate

0:40:15 > 0:40:18# It's never easy but throw it away?

0:40:18 > 0:40:22# Maybe you were born chasing this

0:40:22 > 0:40:25# Flirt with death but never kiss her

0:40:40 > 0:40:43# I keep dreaming, I set the scene

0:40:43 > 0:40:47# So what's a fiver? Why so mean?

0:40:50 > 0:40:54# It's not over, that's too cheap

0:41:12 > 0:41:15# I know you feel the squeeze

0:41:19 > 0:41:22# The view from on your knees

0:41:55 > 0:41:58that you were touched by fate

0:42:05 > 0:42:08# A newer story in another town

0:42:12 > 0:42:16# I know you feel the squeeze

0:43:31 > 0:43:34# Keep going, keep going. #

0:44:08 > 0:44:10We're going to go home now.

0:44:16 > 0:44:17it's called In The Long Grass.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20When we bring that out, we'll do

0:44:23 > 0:44:27And we'll see you guys back here or maybe in Swansea next week, OK?

0:44:57 > 0:45:01# There was a lot of rocking

0:45:01 > 0:45:04for all the young bright lights

0:45:10 > 0:45:13# The Saturday night city beat

0:45:13 > 0:45:16# When the pulse of the corner boys

0:45:16 > 0:45:19# Young Billy watched it under

0:45:19 > 0:45:22# He said tonight of all nights

0:45:26 > 0:45:28# But Billy doesn't like it

0:45:28 > 0:45:31# He says the traps, they were sprung

0:45:31 > 0:45:37# Hope bites the dust behind

0:45:37 > 0:45:41# There's screaming and there's crying in the high-rise block

0:45:43 > 0:45:49# But you can make it if you want it

0:46:01 > 0:46:11# You better find a way out, yeah,

0:46:14 > 0:46:17everybody's trying to tell you

0:46:29 > 0:46:35when that button come alight

0:46:51 > 0:46:54# Billy take a walk, take a walk,

0:46:54 > 0:46:57# Hey, Billy, take a walk with me

0:47:21 > 0:47:24trying to watch Top Of The Pops

0:47:24 > 0:47:27# Mum and Dad are fighting,

0:47:27 > 0:47:30she walks out to the street

0:47:30 > 0:47:33but it's got that home beat

0:47:38 > 0:47:42# I'm gonna get out of school,

0:47:42 > 0:47:46# Work all the hours God gave me and get myself a little easy money

0:47:54 > 0:47:57coat buttoned against the cold

0:48:00 > 0:48:03# When he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy says

0:48:03 > 0:48:06# But then he mumbles in his coffee

0:48:27 > 0:48:30# Rat trap, you've been caught

0:48:30 > 0:48:33# It's a rat trap, you've been caught

0:48:33 > 0:48:36# In a rat trap, you've been caught

0:48:36 > 0:48:39# It's a rat trap, you've been caught

0:48:39 > 0:48:42# In a rat trap, you've been caught

0:48:42 > 0:48:45# It's a rat trap, you've been caught

0:51:04 > 0:51:06Right, bollock up the sound.

0:51:06 > 0:51:10Make it loud so if there's any fuck-ups they don't notice.

0:51:27 > 0:51:30# The world owes me a living

0:51:30 > 0:51:32# I've waited on this dole queue

0:51:35 > 0:51:38# That's a quarter of an hour

0:51:43 > 0:51:46# I don't owe nobody nothing

0:51:46 > 0:51:48# I just do what I wanna do

0:51:56 > 0:51:58# Count your loss when I'm gone

0:52:06 > 0:52:08# If I want something, I get it

0:52:08 > 0:52:11# No matter what I have to do

0:52:21 > 0:52:23# Don't give me love thy neighbour

0:52:26 > 0:52:29# You better stop, think, look, baby

0:52:31 > 0:52:52# I want to take your money,

0:53:23 > 0:53:28# Don't give me love thy neighbour

0:53:28 > 0:53:31# Don't give me peace and love

0:53:44 > 0:53:46# When I get old, older than today

0:53:46 > 0:53:48# I'll never need anybody's help

0:53:48 > 0:53:51# Why don't you take my money

0:53:57 > 0:53:58# Lookin' after number one... #

0:54:00 > 0:54:03# I-hi-hi don't wanna be like you

0:54:10 > 0:54:13# I-hi-hi don't wanna talk like you
