# And don't forget

# When your elders forget

# To say their prayers

# Take them by the legs

# And throw them down the stairs

# When you think your toys have gone berserk

# It's an illusion

# You cannot shirk

# You hear laughter

# Cracking through the walls

# It sends you spinning

# You have no choice

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That is great.

Spellbound at number 29 this week, with Siouxsie And The Banshees.

At number two, here's Shakin' Stevens.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# You know, baby, when you're in my arms

# I can feel your loving magic charms

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# And when I'm looking in those big blue eyes

# I start a-floating round in paradise

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# Heaven must have sent you down

# Down for you to give me a thrill

# Every time you touch me

# Every time you hold me

# My heart starts speeding like a train on a track

# I love you, baby, and it's plain to see

# I love you, honey, it was meant to be

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# Oh!

# And when I'm looking in them big blue eyes

# I start a-floating round in paradise

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# You drive me cra-ay-zy

# Oh!

# Cra-ay-zy

# Cra-ay-zy. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That is fantastic as well, isn't it?

You Drive Me Crazy, Shakin' Stevens at number two.

Here's a record that's doing rather well in the charts at the moment.

-It comes from Kate Robbins. It's called...

-More Than I'm In Love.

# More

# Than you could know

# More

# Than I can show

# Thoughts

# Deep down inside of me

# It's hard to show

# How much I feel for you and me

# More than in love

# You're a part of me

# And I'm feeling so much more than in love

# And it's hard to see how anyone

# Could say with pride

# Never loved or tried

# We've a different meaning in the words

# I love you

# I love you

# More...

# Each passing day

# More...

# Than I can say

# All...

# My feelings say it's right

# Remember how I thought I'd lost you on that night

# More than in love

# You're a part of me

# And the feeling's so much more than in love

# And it's hard to see how anyone

# Could say with pride

# Never loved or tried

# We've a different meaning in the words

# I love you

# I love you

# More than in love

# You're a part of me

# And the feeling's so much more than in love

# And it's hard to see how anyone

# Could say with pride

# Never loved or tried

# We've a different meaning in the words

# I love you

# I love you

# More than in love

# So much more than in love

# More than in love

# More than in lo-o-o-o-ove

# So much more than in love

# More than in love...

# More than in lo-o-o-ove

# Feeling so much more... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Mm. More Than In Love.

That's Kate Robbins, a girl at a CROSSROADS in her life,

I guess you could say.

Here's Squeeze now at number 40 in the charts,

posing the question, Is That Love?

# You've left my ring by the soap

# Now, is that love?

# You cleaned me out, you could say broke

# Now, is that love?

# The better, better, better it gets

# The more these girls forget

# That that is love

# You won't get dressed, you walk about,

# Now, is that, is that...

# A teasing glance has pushed me out

# Now, is that, is that...

# The tougher, tougher, tougher it gets

# The more my lips frequent

# Now, that is love

# Beat me up with your letters

# Your walk-out notes

# Funny how you still find me

# Right here at home

# Legs up with a book and a drink

# Now, is that love that's making you think?

# You've called my bluff I'm not so hot

# Now, is that love?

# My assets froze while yours have dropped

# Now, is that, is that...

# It's the cupid, cupid, cupid disguise

# That more or less survived

# Now, that is love

# Beat me up with your letters

# Your walk-out notes

# Funny how you still find me

# Right here at home

# Legs up with a book and a drink

# Now, is that love that's making you think?

# You've made my bed

# The finger points

# Now, is that, is that love?

# The more, you more, you more, you cool down

# The easier love is found

# Now, that is love. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Just squeezing into the charts a number 40, that is

Squeeze, and Is That Love?

Here's a bit of Body Talk now from Imagination.

# Morning, afternoon and night

# We lay together side by side

# Searching for lust

# Searching for breath

# Searching for the touch of life

# No words are spoken

# The only sound we hear

# Is body talk

# Body talk

# The heat of passion

# Is such a beautiful thing

# As it overflows, pleasure grows

# All the dreams it can bring

# Your lips in my eyes

# And gentle sighs

# Body talk

# Body talk

# Cool and calm, so soft and pure

# A touching moment

# Heated feelings once explored

# But have melted

# We were two souls torn apart

# With bitter ages

# Through expression

# Not aggression

# We have become...

# One...

# Body talk

# Body talk

# Cool and calm, so soft and pure

# A touching moment

# Heated feelings once explored

# But have melted

# Oh, we are two souls

# Torn apart

# With bitter ages

# Through expression

# Not aggression

# We have become...

# One

# Searching for lust

# Searching for breath

# Searching for the touch of life

# No words are spoken

# The only sound we hear is

# Body talk

# Body talk

# Body talk

# Body talk

# Body talk

# I think I need a, I need a

# Body talk

# Ooh, now, sugar

# Body talk

# Ah, ha

# Body talk. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Body Talk, and it doesn't leave much to the IMAGINATION, does it?

That's a potential Top 40 hit.

Here's that one that crashed in at number for the week for The Jam,

expensively filmed in Surrey!

# Down in amongst the streets tonight

# Books will burn, people laugh and cry

# In their turmoil

# Turmoil turns rejoiceful

# Shed your fears and lose your guilt

# Tonight we burn responsibility in the fire

# We'll watch the flames grow higher!

# But if you get too burnt

# You can't come back home

# As I was standing by the edge

# I could see the faces of those who led pissing themselves laughing

# Their mad eyes bulged Their flushed faces said

# The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger

# We feast on flesh and drink on blood

# Live by fear and despise love in a crisis

# What with today's high prices

# Bring some paper and bring some wood

# Bring what's left of all your love for the fire

# We'll watch the flames grow higher!

# But if you get too burnt

# You can't come back home

# As I was standing by the edge

# I could see the faces of those who led

# Pissing themselves laughing

# And the flames grew

# Their mad eyes bulged Their flushed faces said

# The weak get crushed as the strong grow stronger. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I think it's fair to say The Jam are really setting the charts on fire

with that - Funeral Pyre.

Here's an oldie that's been re-released.

Michael Jackson and One Day In Your Life,

and here to dance to it - Legs & Co.

# One day in your life

# You'll remember a place

# Someone touching your face

# You'll come back and you'll look around you

# One day in your life

# You'll remember the love

# You found here

# You'll remember me somehow

# Though you don't need me now

# I will stay in your heart

# And when things fall apart

# You'll remember one day...

# One day in your life

# When you find

# That you're always waiting

# For the love we used to share

# Just call my name

# And I'll be there

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah

# You'll remember me somehow

# Though you don't need me now

# I will stay in your heart

# And when things fall apart

# You'll remember one day... #

# That you've sent to me

# And though it is past now

# And your words

# Start to fade

# All the memories I have

# Still remain

# I've kept all the pictures

# But I hide my feelings

# So no-one knows

# Oh, sure my friends all come round

# But I'm in a crowd on my own

# It's cos you're gone now

# Though your heart...

# Heart still remains

# And it'll be here if you come again

# You see, I'd heard the rumours

# I knew before you let me know

# But I didn't believe it Not you

# No, you would not let me go

# Seems I was wrong

# But I love...

# Love you the same

# And that's the one thing that you can't take away

# But just remember...

# Oh

# If leaving me is easy

# And you know

# Coming back is harder

# Oh

# If leaving me is easy

# And you know

# Coming back is harder

# Oh

# If leaving me is easy

# And you know

# Coming back is harder

# Oh

# If leaving me is easy

# And you know

# Coming back is harder

# Oh

# If leaving me is easy

# And you know

# Coming back is harder

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

And here's the new full version of Stand And Deliver.

-HORSE WHINNIES

-# Stand and deliver

# I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention

# I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention

# The devil take your stereo and your record collection

# The way you look, you'll qualify for next year's old-age pension

# Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

-# Hoh!

-Try to use a mirror

# Not a bullet or a knife

# Hoh!

# I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion

# The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing

# So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?

# It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making

# Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

# Hoh!

# Try to use a mirror

# Not a bullet or a knife

# Hoh!

# And even though you fool your soul

# Your conscience will be mine

# All mine

# We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses

# Of deep-meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses

# We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation

# Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation

# Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

# Hoh!

# Try to use the mirror

# Not a bullet or a knife

# Hoh!

# Even though you fool your soul

# Your conscience will be mine

# All mine

# Qua qua Da diddly qua qua

# Da diddly qua qua

# Da diddly qua qua

# Da diddly qua qua

# Da diddly qua qua

# Da diddly qua qua

# Da diddly qua qua

-# Da diddly qua qua

-Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

# Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

# Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

# Stand and deliver

# Your money or your life

# Stand and deliver. #

APPLAUSE

I think they're still pretty popular.

Adam And The Ants at number one - Stand And Deliver.

Let's wind up with one of the most popular funk numbers as well

around at the moment.

It's Odyssey, as we say goodnight and get back to the roots.

Goodnight.

MUSIC: Goin' Back To My Roots by Odyssey

# Zippin' up my boots

# Goin' back to my roots

# Yeah

# To place of my birth

# Back down to earth

# I've been standing in the rain

# Drenched and soaked with pain

# Tired of short-term benefits

# And being exposed to the elements

# I'm homeward bound

# Got my head turned around

# Zippin' up my boots. #
