05/08/1982 Top of the Pops

Live from the Television Centre in London, welcome to another

Top Of The Pops, and we have a tremendous line-up of live acts

for you tonight, kicking off with Madness at Number 4

and Driving In My Car.

# I've been driving in my car

# It's not quite a Jaguar

# I bought it in Primrose Hill

# From a bloke from Brazil

# It was made in '59

# In a factory by the Tyne

# It says Morris on the door

# The GPO owned it before

# I drive in it for my job

# The governor calls me a slob

# But I don't really care

# Give me some gas and the open air

# It's a bit old but it's mine

# I mend it in my spare time

# Just last week I changed the oil

# The rocker valves and the coil

# Just last week I changed the oil

# Last week it went round the clock

# I also had a little knock

# I dented somebody's fender

# He learnt not to park on a bender, ha ha ha

# I've been driving in my car

# It don't look much but I've been far

# I drive up to Muswell Hill

# I've even been to Selsey Bill

# I drove along the A45

# I had her up to 58

# This copper stopped me the other day

# You're mistaken, what could I say?

# The tyres were a little worn

# They were OK, I could have sworn

# I like driving in my car

# I'm satisfied I've got this far

# I like driving in my car

# It don't look much but I've been far

# I like driving in my car

# Even with a flat tyre

# I like driving in my car

# It's not quite a Jaguar... #

And off they go in their Maddiemobile.

Well, Junior Giscombe is currently a great British success story

in America, and here he is with his latest UK hit, Too Late.

# When he comes home intoxicated from the club

# All the kids they go and snuggle up to mom

# He starts shoutin' again, and they start runnin' again

# This ain't no life for them to lead

# In her mind she knows she has to let him go

# In the children's eyes she sees the fear inside

# How does she tell him? He won't take nothin'

# This ain't no life for them to lead

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# In the morning when he wakes up from the couch

# Not recallin' what had happened the night before

# He starts askin' questions, he don't get no answers

# What the hell's goin' on in here?

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# She starts saying she can't take it no more

# When he comes home he always beats her to the floor

# This old line she's givin', hey, about them leavin'

# He can't take it at all

# But it's too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# I just got to let you know

# Too late, too late, baby, bye-bye

# Now's my time to go

# I don't have to stay with you

# I can take the kids and go

# I can make it on my own

# So you think you've got me now

# Well, I'm gonna let you know

# I can make it on my own... #

I'd like you to meet Ray and Neil, they're from Corby in Northants.

You're on a special mission - what are you doing here?

That's right, we're making a feature for this Sunday's Studio B15 programme.

That'll be on Radio 1. What are your impressions so far?

How small the studio is,

but the show's good and there's better music still to come.

You see, those tricky cameras,

they can make anything seem smaller or bigger than you want it to -

even Zoo seem huge here with Donna Summer and Love Is In Control.

# Hung around with big shots

# Never knew love was in the sights

# I guess I missed the target

# Caught up in a different line of fire

# But I know since I've been aiming

# For the sweetness in your soul

# Your name is on the bullet

# And it's gettin' ready to explode

# There's been a change inside my life

# And I just wanna let you know

# I've got my finger on the trigger

# Love is in control

# I've got my finger on the trigger

# Ah, yeah, I ain't lettin' go

# Mama used to tell me

# Girl, you better load your gun up right

# She said ya, ya gotta come out smokin'

# Hit it with your best shot every time

# Well, I didn't understand her

# Till you walked right into range

# I saw your love at 20 paces

# And I knew I'd won the game

# You better raise your heart up high

# Or love will blow you right away

# I've got my finger on the trigger

# Love is in control

# I've got my finger on the trigger

# I ain't lettin' go

# I've got my finger on the trigger

# Love is in control

# I've got my finger on the trigger

# I ain't lettin' go

# Leave off the safety catch

# There ain't no risk, we're gonna have some fun

# I've gotcha, love's begun

# So stay with me until the mornin' sun

# You're superbullet number one... #

Flick Colby's dance collective Zoo there, and Love Is In Control.

More dancing and prancing now,

as The Belle Stars go clapping up the chart with The Clapping Song.

# Three-six-nine the goose drank wine

# The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line

# The line broke The monkey got choked

# And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

# Clap pat, clap pat, clap pat, clap slap

# Clap pat, clap your hand, pat it on your partner's hand, right hand

# Clap pat, clap your hand, cross it with your left arm

# Pat your partner's left palm

# Clap pat, clap your hand

# Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm again

# Clap slap, clap your hand

# Slap your thigh and sing a little song, go

# My mama told me

# If I was goody

# That she would buy me

# A rubber dolly

# My auntie told her

# I kissed a soldier

# Now she won't buy me

# A rubber dolly

# Three-six-nine the goose drank wine

# The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line

# The line broke The monkey got choked

# And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

# Clap, clap, clap your hands and prepare to pat

# Clap, take your right arm

# Pat your partner's right palm with your right palm

# Clap, take your hand back and clap and clap and clap

# Clap, take your right arm, cross your right arm with your left arm

# Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm

# Clap, now back with a clap

# Slap, take the pats of your palms and slap your thighs

# And watch the fun materialise as you sing this little song

# My mama told me

# If I was goody

# That she would buy me

# A rubber dolly

# My auntie told her

# I kissed a soldier

# Now she won't buy me

# A rubber dolly

# Three-six-nine the goose drank wine

# The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line

# The line broke The monkey got choked

# And they all went to heaven in a little row boat

# Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, slap

# Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, slap

# My mama told me

# If I was goody

# That she would buy me

# A rubber dolly... #

There go The Belle Stars.

He's smooth, he's suave, he's sophisticated,

he's Kid Creole and here he is with The Coconuts and Stool Pigeon.

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# If you wanna squeal, said the FBI

# We can make a deal, make it worth your while

# So he told it all and in return

# He got a credit card and a Thunderbird

# And the maximum security

# Even after plastic surgery

# So go on and squeal, said the FBI

# We can make a deal, make it worth your while

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# After all the talk then they wired him

# And he took a walk with his crooked friends

# And they joked about the good old days

# And he recorded it on a reel of tape

# He caught the mug who did the forgery

# And the babe in charge of larceny

# So the FBI they rewarded him

# Because they like a guy who will stab a friend

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away

# Now he's back, no-one's safe

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# If you wanna squeal, said the FBI

# We can make a deal, make it worth your while

# So he told it all and in return

# He got a credit card and a Thunderbird

# He got a spanking new identity

# And a condo down in Miami

# He bought a plane, a boat and jewellery

# But he couldn't buy any company

# There's a gentleman that's going round

# Turning the joint upside down

# Stool Pigeon, ha-cha-cha-cha

# He's an old ex-con that's been away... #

# Come on, Eileen

# Poor old Johnny Ray

# Sounded sad upon the radio

# But he moved a million hearts in mono

# Our mothers cried

# Sang along, who'd blame them

# You've grown, so grown

# Now I must say more than ever

# Come on, Eileen

# Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, ay

# And we can sing just like our fathers

# Come on, Eileen

# Oh, I swear what he means

# At this moment you mean everything

# You in that dress

# My thoughts I confess

# Verge on dirty

# Oh, come on, Eileen

# Come on, Eileen

# These people round here

# Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces

# They're so resigned to what their fate is

# But not us (no, never)

# No, not us (no, never)

# We are far too young and clever (remember)

# Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, ay

# And you'll hum this tune forever

# Come on, Eileen

# Oh, I swear what he means

# Ah, come on let's take off everything

# That pretty red dress

# Eileen (tell him yes)

# Ah, come on, let's

# Ah, come on, Eileen

# Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay

# Come on, Eileen, too-loo-rye-ay

# Now you're full-grown

# Now you have shown

# Oh, Eileen

# Say, come on, Eileen

# These things they are real and I know

# How you feel

# Now I must say more than ever

# Things round here have changed

# I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-ay

# Come on, Eileen

# Oh, I swear (what he means)

# At this moment, you mean everything

# You in that dress, my thoughts I confess

# Verge on dirty

# Ah, come on, Eileen... #

From their excellent Too-Rye-Ay album which went in

at Number 2 in the album chart, Kevin Rowland

and Dexys Midnight Runners with this week's Number 1, Come On Eileen.

Next week, it's your man and mine John Peel hosting the programme.

We're going to leave you with Zoo moving to the music

of Eye Of The Tiger. Have a good week. Goodnight.

# Rising up, back on the street

# Did my time, took my chances

# Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet

# Just a man and his will to survive

# So many times it happens too fast

# You trade your passion for glory

# Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

# You must fight just to keep them alive

# It's the eye of the tiger

# It's the thrill of the fight

# Rising up to the challenge of our rival

# And the last known survivor

# Stalks his prey in the night

# And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger

# Face to face, out in the heat

# Hanging tough, staying hungry

# They stack the odds, still we take to the street

# For the kill with the skill to survive

# It's the eye of the tiger

# It's the thrill of the fight

# Rising up to the challenge of our rival

# And the last known survivor

# Stalks his prey in the night

# And he's watching us all with the eye of the tiger... #
