01/10/1981 Top of the Pops

Good evening. Welcome to Top Of The Pops.

And here's a chance for you to do something

you've been wanting to do all week -

dance to The Birdie Song with The Tweets.

MUSIC: The Birdie Song by The Tweets

Well, I hope you embarrassed yourself at home dancing to that.

The Tweets and The Birdie Song.

It's great to see Kevin Godley

and Lol Creme back in the charts with Under Your Thumb.

MUSIC: Under Your Thumb by Godley & Creme

# I was standing in the station being pounded by the rain so I chose

# The last compartment of a stationary train

# I felt someone get in behind me but I never caught their eye

# But I thought I heard a woman's voice whispering

# Goodbye

# So I lay down in the darkness

# With the beer and coffee stains

# And I stared out at the thunder

# Through the broken window panes

# And although the storm was booming

# Like an engine in the sky

# I'm sure I heard a woman's voice

# Cry

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb

# It's over and done

# I'll never be under your thumb

# Forever

# So I rolled myself a cigarette and smoked it on my own

# But it didn't stop the whispers or the smell of her cologne

# Then she rose up out of nowhere and her hair was full of steam

# And she stuck her head out the window and screamed

# And screamed

# She screamed

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb

# It's over and done

# I'll never be under your thumb

# Forever

# So I picked up an old newspaper

# To read

# And I noticed something very strange indeed

# So I looked

# A little closer and it chilled me to the bone

# Woman throws herself from

# Speeding train, identity unknown

# But I recognised the picture of the woman who was dead

# And underneath the picture it said

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb

# It's over and done

# I'll never be under your thumb

# Forever. #

Godley & Creme and Under Your Thumb.

And as well as being very talented musicians,

they're talented artists and have a book out at the moment as well.

Here's Sheena Easton.

MUSIC: Just Another Broken Heart by Sheena Easton

# All I need

# Get my share

# Of someone's tender loving care

# But there are people

# People everywhere

# Whose hearts are broken beyond repair

# You took your choice from the display

# Wrapped me up, took home to play

# When love ran out, threw me away

# Cost more to mend than you would pay

# I feel used and confused

# You know I do You know I do

-# You know I do

-You know I do

# I'm no freak I'm not unique

# I'm not alone but no-one really cares

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Heart, heart

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Broken heart

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

-# I'm just another

-Just another

# Broken heart

# It feels like I was loaned to you

# A library book you won't renew

# The card arrives, you're overdue

# You get replaced by someone new

# I feel foiled and shop-soiled

# You know I do You know I do

-# You know I do

-You know I do

# You made me a refugee

# I'm not alone but no-one really cares

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Heart, heart

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Broken heart

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

-# I'm just another

-Just another

# Broken heart

# I feel used and confused

# You know I do You know I do

-# You know I do

-You know I do

# I'm no freak I'm not unique

# I'm not alone but no-one really cares

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Heart, heart

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Broken heart

-# I'm just another broken heart

-Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

-# I'm just another

-Just another

# Broken heart

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, heart, heart

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, heart, heart. #

Sheena Easton and Just Another Broken Heart.

Always good to have another Scott Walker fan on the programme.

Here's Julian Cope with Teardrop Explodes and Passionate Friend.

MUSIC: Passionate Friend by The Teardrop Explodes

# The friend I have is a passionate friend

# But I can't see you buying

# Love a dream of a love affair

# That's over, past and crying

# Celebrate the great escape

# From lunacy divided

# Hunnanoo, I'm seeing you

# But nobody decided

# A sound that's drifting out from you when the love has boiled away

# Colours shape and there are things that need

# A beating heart not a cheating heart

# But a cheating heart is still a beating heart

# I believe in you today

# My life sees me wandering

# Lost in smiles forever

# Erase my mind, see what I find

# Axes dream together

# I've got all sleep's secrets hidden in my bag

# But a lot are leaving cos they're

# Not believing

# That you could ever do that thing

# And never bring yourself to sing

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

# Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

# Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

# The friend I have is a passionate friend

# But I can't see you buying

# Love a dream of a love affair

# That's overcast and flying

# Celebrate the great escape

# Carry my soul away

# From sufferance, intolerance

# Leaving you today

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

# Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

# Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

# Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah... #

The Teardrop Explodes and Passionate Friend.

As well as Siouxsie and the Banshees,

Siouxsie and Budgie are now together as The Creatures and here they are.

MUSIC: Mad Eyed Screamer by The Creatures

# Platform ranting in the trees Disturbed voices on the breeze

# Huddled round the mad eyes screamer

# A pointed finger, the tin can schemer

# Mad eyed screamer Mad eyed screamer

# Mad eyed screamer Mad eyes screamer

# A pointed finger, the tin can schemer

# Mad eyed screamer, the corner speaker

# Could be a preacher, could be a teacher

# You want the world to meet your maker

# Now a lecher transforms a traitor with a petrol flaring eye

# Come and see the corner speaker

# Come and hear his suit drip dry

# The passers-by have one obsession

# To hear his raving to the sky

# Mad eyed screamer on your knees

# Mad eyed screamer, you are not pleased

# With the chatter in the trees

# Your balls are freezing in the breeze

# Bow bow bow Bow bow bow

# Bow bow bow Bow bow bow

# Mad eyed screamer, mad eyed screamer

# Mad eyed screamer, mad eyed screamer

# Your balls are freezing in the breeze

# Mad eyed screamer, you are not pleased

# Bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow

# Bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow

# Bow bow bow

# Bow bow bow

# Bow bow bow bow bow bow bow bow. #
