03/06/1982 Top of the Pops

Live from the Television Centre in London, it's Top Of The Pops,

and we have a great assortment of hits for you this week,

from Echo And The Bunnymen to Charlene, from Madness to Junior.

But we kick off with hit sound number 5, it's ABC.

# When your world is full of strange arrangements

# And gravity won't pull you through

# You know you're missing out on something

# Well, that something depends on you

# All I'm saying

# It takes a lot to love you

# All I'm doing

# You know it's true

# All I mean now

# There's one thing, yes, one thing that turns this grey sky to blue

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

-# When your girl has left you out on the pavement

-(goodbye)

# Then your dreams fall apart at the seams

# Your reason for living's your reason for leaving

# Don't ask me what it means

# Who got the look

# I don't know the answer to that question

# Where's the look

# If I knew I would tell you

# What's the look

# Look for your information

# Yes, there's one thing, the one thing that still holds true

# What's that?

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# That's the look, that's the look

# The look of love

# If you judge a book by the cover

# Then you judge the look by the lover

# I hope you'll soon recover

# Me, I go from one extreme to another

# And all my friends just might ask me

# They say, "Martin, maybe one day you'll find true love"

# And I say, "Maybe there must be a solution to

# "The one thing, the one thing we can't find"

# That's the look, that's the look

# Sisters and brothers

# That's the look, that's the look

# Should help each other

# That's the look, that's the look

# Oh oh oh

# Heavens above

# That's the look, that's the look

# Hip-hip hooray-ay

# That's the look, that's the look

# Yippee-aye yippee-aye ay

# That's the look, that's the look

# Be lucky in love

# Look of love. #

Love the suits. ABC, Look Of Love

and listen out for their new album Lexicon Of Love, which is out soon.

Well, Adam Ant has always provided some pretty terrific videos

and this new one is no exception - it's for Goody Two Shoes.

# With the heartbreak open

# So much you can't hide

# Put on a little make-up, make-up

# Make sure they get your good side, good side

# If the words unspoken

# Get stuck in your throat

# Send a treasure token, token

# Write it on a pound note, pound note

# Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes

# Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Subtle innuendos follow

# There must be something inside

# We don't follow fashion

# That'd be a joke

# You know we're going to set them, set them

# So everyone can take note, take note

# When they saw you kneeling

# Crying words that you mean

# Opening their eyeballs, eyeballs

# Pretending that you're Al Green, Al Green

# Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes

# Goody two, goody two, goody goody two shoes

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Subtle innuendos follow

# Must be something inside

# No-one's gonna tell me

# What's wrong and what's right

# Or tell me who to eat with, sleep with

# Or that I've won the big fight, big fight

# Look out or they'll tell you

# "You're a superstar"

# Two weeks and you're an all-time legend

# I think the games have gone much too far

# If the words unspoken

# Get stuck in your throat

# Send a treasure token, token

# Write it on a pound note, pound note

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Subtle innuendos follow

# Must be something inside

# Cos I don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Subtle innuendos follow

# Must be something inside

# Cos I don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Subtle innuendos follow

# Must be something inside

# Cos I don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do?

# Subtle innuendos follow

# Must be something inside. #

Some guys have all the luck.

Echo And The Bunnymen have a huge following of fans all around

the country and tonight are making their Top Of The Pops debut

with their biggest commercial success to date, The Back Of Love.

# I'm on the chopping block

# Chopping off my stopping thought

# Self doubt and selfism

# Were the cheapest things I ever bought

# When you say it's love

# D'you mean the back of love

# When you say it's love

# D'you mean the back of love?

# We're taking advantage of

# Breaking the back of love

# We're taking advantage of

# Breaking the back of love

# Easier said than done, you said

# But it's more difficult to say

# With eyes bigger than our bellies

# We want to but we can't look away

# What were you thinking of

# When you dreamt that up?

# What were you thinking of

# When you dreamt that up?

# Taking advantage of

# Breaking the back of love

# When you're surrounded by

# A simple chain of events

# Eventually

# You'll shack those shackles off

# We can't tell our left from right

# But we know we love extremes

# Getting to grips with the ups and downs

# Because there's nothing in between

# When you say that's love

# D'you mean the back of love

# When you say that's love

# D'you mean the back of love?

# Taking advantage of

# Breaking the back of love

# What were you thinking of

# When you dreamt that up?

# We're taking advantage of

# We're breaking the back of love

# Breaking the back of love. #

Number 27 for Echo And The Bunnymen and The Back Of Love.

Radio listeners will know that Siouxsie & The Banshees are one of

my favourite bands, and I'm pleased to say they're here, back recently

from a Far Eastern tour, and this is their new hit, which is Fireworks.

# The body is wrapped in shadow

# The face is built of cinders

# And panic tears through your silhouette

# As you're squeezed by burning fingers

# And he's crackling in our colours

# With teeth of gelignite

# When he sighs his song and pirouettes

# Through a dance of dynamite

# We are fireworks - slowly glowing

# Bold and bright

# We are fireworks - burning shapes

# Into the night

# Into the night

# His fuel is our frustration

# And dreams begin to ache

# And all the while, we wear a party smile

# And happily we shiver

# And happily we shake

# Oh shake, shake, shake

# We are fireworks - slowly glowing

# Bold and bright

# We are fireworks - burning shapes

# Into the night

# We are fireworks - slowly glowing

# Burn, burn, burn - slowly glowing

# Burn, baby, burn

# We are fire

# We are fireworks

# Fireworks

# Fireworks. #

# It must be wonderful to live like you do

Charlene with her five-year-old record, I've Never Been To Me.

# Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life

# You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife

# I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do

# But I wish someone had a talked to me like I wanna talk to you

# Ooh, I've been to Georgia and California

# And anywhere I could run

# Took the hand of a preacher man

# And we made love in the sun

# But I ran out of places and friendly faces

# Because I had to be free

# I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

# Please, lady, please, lady, don't just walk away

# Cos I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today

# I can see so much of me still living in your eyes

# Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies

# Oh, I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece

# While I sipped champagne on a yacht

# I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo

# And showed 'em what I've got

# I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things

# That a woman ain't s'posed to see

# I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

# Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children

# That might have made me complete

# But I, I took the sweet life and never knew

# I'd be bitter from the sweet

# I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring

# That cost too much to be free

# Hey, lady, I've been to paradise

# But I've never been to me

# I've been to paradise, never been to me

# I've been to paradise,

# Paradise

# But I've never been to me. #

Hello. Through the wonders of modern technology, live from downtown Soho,

Gerrard St, we'd like to say thank you to everyone

who's made this our first number one.

We're all very pleased and honoured. We'd like to say hello

Madness still at the top, and that's just about it for us for this week.

Good night. Before we say goodbye, I better tell you that Junior's

going to sing us out this week with a live version of Mama Said.

Hope you enjoyed the programme, see you next week. Bye-bye.

# Said a small boy once asked, when will I grow up

# When will I see what grown-ups do see

# In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age

# To be recognised is when I'm not unmasked

# And mama used to say

# Take your time, young man

# Mama used to say

# Don't you rush to get old

# Mama used to say

# Take it in your stride

# Mama used to say

# Live your life

# As the years went rushin' by, he would cut down on his age

# He would tell his girl of how it used to be

# How his mommy passed away, but these lines she would say

# And at the time, he couldn't understand

# Mama used to say

# Take your time, young man

# Mama used to say

# Don't you rush to get old

# Mama used to say

# Take it in your stride

# Mama used to say

# Live your life

# You're young, so young, don't hold on back

# Do all you want to do

# Now is the time for you to stride

# For you to get better in what you are doin'

# A small boy once asked, when will I grow up

# When will I see what grown-ups do see

# In his fight to come of age, he would have to know the age

# To be recognised is when I'm not unmasked

# And mama used to say,

# Take your time, young man

# Mama used to say

# Don't you rush to get old

# Mama used to say

# Take it in your stride

# Mama used to say

# Live your life, live your life, live your life, oh... #
