Modern Romance, Everybody Salsa.

There's a new LP out in the shops in a short while -

it's called The Garden - and from that LP

is a fabulous track from John Foxx - Europe After The Rain.

INSTRUMENTAL

# It's time to walk again

# It's time to make our way

# Through the fountain squares

# And the colonnades

# Your dress is shimmering

# Your voice is hiding things

# When you say I've hardly changed

# In Europe

# After the rain

# When the nights are warm

# And the summer sways

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# The stained glass echoing

# The blossom balconies

# And voices blow

# On a shining wind

# Your face is shimmering

# Your smile is glimmering

# When I say

# You've hardly changed

# In Europe

# After the rain

# When the nights are warm

# And the summer sways

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# In Europe

# After the rain

# In Europe

# After the rain

# In Europe

# After the rain

# In Europe

# After the rain. #

INSTRUMENTAL

# I am the one in ten

# A number on a list

# I am the one in ten

# Even though I don't exist

# Nobody knows me

# But I'm always there

# A statistic, a reminder

# Of a world that doesn't care... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# My arms enfold the dole queue

# Malnutrition dulls my hair

# My eyes are black and lifeless

# With an underprivileged stare

# I'm the beggar on the corner

# Will no-one spare a dime?

# I'm the child that never learns to read

# Cos no-one spared the time

# I am the one in ten

# A number on a list

# I am the one in ten

# Even though I don't exist

# Nobody knows me

# But I'm always there

# A statistic, a reminder

# Of a world that doesn't care... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# I'm the murderer and the victim

# I'm the licence with the gun

# I'm a sad and bruised old lady

# In an alley in a slum

# I'm a middle-aged businessman

# With chronic heart disease

# I'm another teenage suicide

# In a street that has no trees

# I am the one in ten

# A number on a list

# I am the one in ten

# Even though I don't exist

# Nobody knows me

# But I'm always there

# A statistic, a reminder

# Of a world that doesn't care... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# I'm a starving third world mother

# A refugee without a home

# I'm an accident of birth

# I am the one in ten

APPLAUSE

That's UB40 and the Top Of The Pops cameras managed to get hold of them

just before they went off on tour.

Talking about touring, they've probably met every city in Europe,

it's Bucks Fizz now.

# Some nights when I'm alone

# I wake up from a dream

# I light a cigarette

# I lie there in the dark

# And think why we're apart

# I just can't figure it

# I'm living in the shadows

# I got nowhere to go

# Since you left I'm broken, babe

# I need you, don't you know?

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# One of those nights

# Just one of those nights

# Silence surrounds me

# Your memory haunts me

# It's one of those nights

# It's just one of those nights

# If only I had you to love me

# On one of those nights

# It's one of those nights

# I gave her everything I had

# How could she leave and just forget it?

# I know it seems I've thrown my life away on her

# I don't regret it

# I'm living in the shadows

# I got nowhere to go

# Since you left I'm broken, babe

# I need you don't you know

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# One of those nights

# Just one of those nights

# Silence surrounds me

# Your memory haunts me

# It's one of those nights

# It's just one of those nights

# If only I had you to love me

# On one of those nights

# It's one of those nights

# I'm living in the shadows

# I got nowhere to go

# Since you left I'm broken, babe

# I need you, don't you know?

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# One of those nights

# Just one of those nights

# Silence surrounds me

# Your memory haunts me

# It's one of those nights

# It's just one of those nights

# If only I had you to love me

# On one of those nights. #

APPLAUSE

It's Bucks Fizz with One Of Those Nights.

I promised a lot of people in Torquay, on the Radio 1 Roadshow,

that I would bring Miss Torquay and Miss Radio 1 Roadshow 1981

to Top Of The Pops, and here she is.

-Jill, hello.

-Hello.

-I promised you, didn't I?

-You did.

I did indeed. We're in Exmouth tomorrow for the final one.

-Right, you like Teardrop Explodes, don't you?

-I do.

So do I. Here they are.

# 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 dying

# 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... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# 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

# Doo doo-doo doo

# Doo doo-doo doo-doo

# Doo doo-doo doo

# Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo

# Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo

# Doo doo doo doo

# 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

APPLAUSE

So, loads of hits for Teardrop Explosion -

Reward and Treason, and now Passionate Friend.

A good single, too, on Top Of The Pops.

OK, folks, we've had to catch one or two artists on film

and that we've done with Gary Numan.

She's Got Claws.

INSTRUMENTAL

# You are distraction

# Like pictures on the wall

# I don't like eyes

# You are attraction

# It gets to be routine

# You're up, I'm down

# She's got claws, she's got claws

# She's got claws

# But the factory knows

# We're dreams in cold storage

# We could dance the night away... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# You say you love me

# Maybe you do

# But patience I can't steal

# I don't believe you

# You said straight

# It's like giving up hope

# Here on the ground

# On the floor

# Screaming nothing at all

# Here on the ground

# Like some whore

# Looking down on you all

# And too much advice

# I'm not sure. #

INSTRUMENTAL

APPLAUSE

It's one of the highest climbers on the chart,

Gary Numan and She's Got Claws is this week's number six.

And welcome to David Van Day and Thereza Bazar.

Why? Because it's Dollar and Hand Held In Black And White.

# On a ticket Tokyo return

# Colour evening palaces that burn

# Some expression leading to the sky

# They will wait until you learn to fly

# Hand held in black and white

# Into the northern light

# Fly like a silver wing

# Higher

# Catching the southern wind

# Gliding and other things

# Fly like a silver wing

# Higher

# Inner visions written on the wall

# In graffiti, winner takes it all

# Take a chance and put your money down

# We will race you high above the ground

# Darling, don't say a word

# Cos I already heard

# What your body's saying to mine

# I'm tired of fast moves

# I've got a slow groove

# On my mind

# I want a man with a slow hand

# I want a lover with an easy touch

# I want somebody who will spend some time

# Not come and go in a heated rush

# I want somebody who will understand

-# When it comes to love

-I want a slow hand... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# On shadowed ground

# With no-one around

# And a blanket of stars in our eyes

# We are drifting free

# What your body's saying to mine

-# If I want it

-all night

-# You say it's

-all right

# We got the time

# Tainted love

# Now I know I've got to

# Run away

-# I've got to

-get away

# You don't really want any more from me

# I ran

# Now I run from you

# This tainted love you've given

# I give you all a boy could give you

# Take my tears and that's not nearly all

# Oh, tainted love

# Tainted love

# Don't touch me, please

# I cannot stand the way you tease

# I love you though you hurt me so
