03/11/77 Top of the Pops

Welcome to this week's of Top Of The Pops!

# The city streets are empty now

# The lights don't shine no more

# And so the songs are way down low

# Turning, turning

# A sound that flows into my mind

# The echoes of the daylight

# Of everything that is alive

# In my blue world

# I turn to stone

# When you are gone

# I turn to stone

# Turn to stone

# When you're coming home

# I can't go on... #

APPLAUSE

# This is a modern world

# This is the modern world

# What kind of a fool do you think I am?

# You think I know nothing of the modern world

# All my life it's been the same

# I've learned to live by hate and pain

# It's my inspiration drive

# I've learned more than you'll ever know

# Even at school I felt quite sure

# That one day I would be on top

# And I'd look down upon the map

# The teachers who said I'd be nothing

# This is the modern world that I've learnt about

# This is the modern world We don't need no-one

# To tell us what's right or wrong

# This is a modern world!

# Say what you like cos I don't care

# I know where I am and going to

# It's somewhere I won't preview

# Don't have to explain myself to you

# I don't give a damn about your review!

# This is the modern world that I've learnt about

# This is the modern world We don't need no-one

# To tell us what's right or wrong

# Modern world, this is, this is This is, this is

# This is, this is, this is

# We don't need no-one

# To tell us what's right or wrong

# This is a modern world

# This is the modern world. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Whoo! Hey! That's The Jam on Modern World. Wild stuff from The Jam.

Let's just think about those occupants

of interplanetary craft, shall we?

The Carpenters, Richard and Karen together, and they're at Number Ten.

# In your mind you have capacities, you know

# To telepath messages through the vast unknown

# Please close your eyes and concentrate

# With every thought you think

# Upon the recitation we're about to sing

# Calling occupants of interplanetary craft

# Calling occupants of interplanetary

# Most extraordinary craft

# Calling occupants of interplanetary craft

# Calling occupants of interplanetary ultra-emissaries

# We've been observing your earth

# And one night we'll make

# A contact with you

# We are your friends

# Calling occupants of interplanetary

# Quite extraordinary craft

# And please come in peace we beseech you

# Only of love we will teach you

# Our earth may never survive

# So don't come, we beg you

# Please, interstellar policemen

-# Won't you give us a sign

-# Give us a sign

# That we've reached you?

# Oh, oh

# With your mind you have ability to form

# And transmit thought energy far beyond the norm

# You close your eyes, you concentrate

# Together, that's the way

# To send a message, we declare World Contact Day. #

The Carpenters and Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft.

-We liked that one, didn't we?

-Yes.

-You bet we did.

Hey, a bigger bunch of loonies you're never likely to meet.

# Listen to the poor boy now

# My trousers get people talking

# They're much too baggy for me

# My braces busted when I'm walking

# And now my pants are hanging round my knees

# I'm getting thin, you know

# Tie them up with string, you know

# My tailor took my pants in

# But he left in all the pins

# That's why I can't stop dancing

Live In Trouble. Terrific, what a nice bunch of lads.

The Barron Knights. Can you spin like that? Oh, not bad. Not bad.

Hey, We Are The Champions, Queen.

# I've paid my dues

# Time after time

# I've done my sentence

# But committed no crime

# And bad mistakes

# I've made a few

# I've had my share of sand kicked in my face

# But I've come through

# On and on and on and on

# We are the champions, my friends

# And we'll keep on fighting till the end

# We are the champions

# We are the champions

# No time for losers

# Cos we are the champions

# Of the world

# I've taken my bows

# And my curtain calls

# You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it

# I thank you all

# But it's been no bed of roses

# No pleasure cruise

# I consider it a challenge before the whole human race

# And I ain't gonna lose

# On and on and on and on

# We are the champions, my friends

# And we'll keep on fighting till the end

# We are the champions

# We are the champions

# No time for losers

# Cos we are the champions

# Of the world

# We are the champions, my friends

# And we'll keep on fighting till the end

# Oh, we are the champions

# We are the champions

# No time for losers

# Cos we are the champions... #

At number six, Queen and We Are The Champions.

Best thing since Bohemian Rhapsody.

And now, a little bit of beauty on Top Of The Pops.

Dorothy Moore and I Believe You.

This is Legs & Co dancing to that song.

# I believe you

# When you say that you will reach into the sky

# And steal a star so you can put it on my finger

# I believe you

# Oo woo

# Baby, I believe you

-# I believe you

-# I believe you

# When you tell me every time that we make love

# Will be the first time we've made love

# And every act of love will please you

# Oo woo

# Baby, I believe you

# Blind faith makes me follow you

# I'd live in a cave if you wanted to

# Just ask me and I'll marry you

# You don't have to sell me

# Cos you overwhelm me

# I've made up my mind

# For a life time

-# I believe you

-# I believe you

# When you say you'll fill my body with your soul

# And love will grow into a brown-eyed little girl

# Who looks like we do

# Oo woo

# Baby, I believe you

# Blind faith makes me follow you

# I'd live in a cave if you wanted to

# Just ask me and I'll marry you

# You don't have to sell me

# Cos you overwhelm me

# For a life time

# I've seen you twice in a short time

# Only a week since we started

# It seems to me for every time

# I'm getting more open-hearted

# I was an impossible case

# No-one ever could reach me

# But I think I can see in your face

# There's a lot you can teach me

# So I wanna know

# What's the name of the game?

# Does it mean anything to you?

# What's the name of the game?

# Can you feel it the way I do?

# Tell me please cos I have to know

# I'm a bashful child beginning to grow

# And you make me talk

# And you make me feel

# And you make me show

# What I'm trying to conceal

# If I trust in you Would you let me down?

# Would you laugh at me If I said I care for you?

# Ah-ah

# Could you feel the same way too?

# I wanna know

# The name of the game

# I have no friends

# No-one to see

# And I am never invited

# Now I am here talking to you

# No wonder I get excited

# Your smile and the sound of your voice

# And the way you see through me

# Got a feeling you give me no choice

# But it means a lot to me

# So I wanna know

# What's the name of the game?

# Your smile and the sound of your voice

# Does it mean anything to you?

# Got a feeling you give me no choice

# But it means a lot

That's it. From all of us to all of you, good night, God bless.

# I saw her today

# I saw her face

# It was a face I loved

# And I knew

# I had to run away

# And get down on my knees and pray

# That they'd go away

# And still it begins

# Needles and pins

# Because of all my pride

# The tears I gotta hide

# Oh I thought I was smart

# I'd won her heart

# I didn't think I'd do But now you see

# She's worse to him than me

# Let her go ahead

# And take his love instead and one day she will see

# Just how to say please... #
