# Something that I said

# Was it something that I said

# Something in my head?

# Time will tell, and you will see

# That it's down to you, not me

# Something that I said

# Was it something that I said

# Something in my head?

With Legs & Co, at number nine, it's Randy VanWarmer

and Just When I Needed You Most.

# You packed in the morning, I stared out the window

# And I struggled for something to say

# You left in the rain without closing the door

# I didn't stand in your way

# Now I miss you more than I missed you before

# And now where I'll find comfort, God knows

# Cos you left me

# Just when I needed you most

# Left me just when I needed you most

# Now most every morning, I stare out the window

# And I think about where you might be

# I've written you letters that I'd like to send

# If you would just send one to me

# Cos I need you more than I needed before

# And now where I'll find comfort, God knows

# Cos you left me

# Just when I needed you most

# Left me just when I needed you most

# You packed in the morning, I stared out the window

# And I struggled for something to say

# You left in the rain without closing the door

# I didn't stand in your way

# Now I love you more than I loved you before

# And now where I'll find comfort, God knows

# Cos you left me

# Just when I needed you most

With a sound they call "the nutty sound",

-from North London... Is this your band?

-Yeah!

..it's Madness, The Prince!

# Buster, he sold the heat

# With a rock-steady beat

# An earthquake is erupting

# But not in Orange Street

# A ghost dance is preparing

# You got to help us with your feet

# If you're not in the mood to dance

# Step back, grab yourself a seat

# This may not be uptown Jamaica

# But we promise you a treat

# Buster, bowl me over with your bogus dance

# Shuffle me off my feet

# Even if I kept on running

# I'd never get to Orange Street

# So I'll say there's nothin' left to say

# For the man who set the beat

# So I'll leave it up to you out there

# To get him back on his feet

# Buster, bowl me over with your bogus dance

# Shuffle me off my feet

# Even if I kept on running

# I'd never get to Orange Street... #

SAXOPHONE SOLO

# For all I know you let your love light

# Shine on me

# Oh, angel eyes

# You never close

# Who's got the time?

# I can wait until your love light

# Shine on me-e-e

# Oh, angel eyes

# On the wing and open wide

# No matter now how high the moon

# Shine down on me. #

APPLAUSE

It's number four, it's Angel Eyes, it's Roxy Music.

It's jazz funk at its best - from the States,

let's welcome Street Life and the Crusaders!

# I play the street life

# Because there's no place I can go

# Street life

# It's the only life I know

# Street life And there's a thousand cards to play

# Street life Until you play your life away

# You let the people see just who you wanna be

# And every night you sang just like a superstar

# The type of life that's played

# A temptin' masquerade

# You dress, you walk, you talk You're who you think you are

# Street life You can run away from time

# Street life For a nickel, for a dime

# Street life But you better not get old

# Street life Or you're gonna feel the cold

# There's always love for sale

# A grown-up fairy tale

# Prince Charming always smiles behind a silver spoon

# And if you keep it young

# Your song is always sung

# Your love will pay your way

# Beneath the silver moon

# Street life

# Street life

# Street life

# Oh, street life

# Uh-uh

# Yeah, yeah

# I play the street life

# Because there's no place I can go

# Street life It's the only life I know

# Street life And there's a thousand cards to play

# Street life Until you play your life away

# Oh!

# Street life

# Street life

# Street life

# Oh, street life. #

All right, it's ELO, Don't Bring Me Down.

# You got me running, going out of my mind

# You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time

# Don't bring me down No, no, no, no, no

# Ooh-ooh-ooh!

# I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

# Don't bring me down

# You want to stay out with your fancy friends

# I'm telling you it's gotta be the end

# Don't bring me down

# No, no, no, no, no

# Ooh-ooh-ooh!

# I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

# Don't bring me down

# Don't bring me down, Bruce

# Don't bring me down, Bruce

# Don't bring me down, Bruce

# What happened to the girl I used to know

# You let your mind out somewhere down the road

# Don't bring me down

# No, no, no, no, no

# Ooh-ooh-ooh!

# I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

# Don't bring me down

# You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights

# One of these days you're gonna get it right

APPLAUSE

It's ELO, Don't Bring Me Down. If I said to you had

a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? Huh?

-Yeah.

-Oh - what?! Here's Legs & Co. and the Bellamy Brothers.

# If I said you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

# If I swore you were an angel

# Would you treat me like the devil tonight?

# If I was dying of thirst

# would your flowing love come quench me?

# If I said you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

# Now we could talk all night about the weather

# Could tell you 'bout my friends out on the coast

# I could ask a lot of crazy questions

# Or ask you what I really want to know

# If I said you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

# If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?

# If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me

# If I said you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

# Now rain can fall so soft against the window

# The sun can shine so bright up in the sky

# But daddy always told me, "Don't make small talk"

# He said, "Come on out and say what's on your mind"

# So if I said you have a beautiful body would you hold it against me?

# If I swore you were an angel would you treat me like the devil tonight?

# If I was dying of thirst would your flowing love come quench me? #

APPLAUSE

Here's Racey and Boy Oh Boy.

# The first time we touched I liked it so much

# The first time we smiled my heart went wild

# And it was boy, oh, boy

# One night with you and it's boy, oh, boy

# What I could do with you

# It was too much when oh, boy, the first time we touched

# The first time we danced it was romance

# I walked you home and we were alone again

# It's down to you now

# You wanna be free

# Well, I hope you know which way to go

# You're on your own again

# Don't come crying to me

# When you're the lonely one

# Remember what you've done
