07/03/1985 Top of the Pops

APPLAUSE

Hello, we're the WestEnders,

and welcome to another Top Of The Pops.

A rather special Top Of The Pops,

actually, because it's Shakin' Stevens' 50th birthday.

No, you've got it wrong.

It's his 50th appearance on Top Of The Pops,

and it's Shakin' Stevens.

Well done, mate. At number 15, Breaking Up My Heart.

# Ev'rything you say

# Ev'rything you do Always seems to put me down.

# (Put me down)

# Is there something wrong? Do I still belong?

# Is it just a run-around? (Run-around?)

# Don't say he's not the reason why

# When I lie awake It's his name I hear you cry

# Thought he'd left your mind After all this time

# Stood between your fantasy (Fantasy)

# Guess I always knew He'd be haunting you

# Stealing what you had for me (Had for me)

# I can't stand here and let it die

# Ev'ry step you take I'll be there right by your side

# Cos it's breaking up my heart Feel like dying

# Breaking up my heart Feel like crying

# Tell him where to go, show the man the door

# Cos ev'rything you do is breaking up my heart

# I won't let you go Babe, you'll never know

# Can't you get it through your head? (Through your head?)

# I won't set you free You belong to me

# What he had for you is dead (Love is dead)

# Love burns fire that never cools

# Don't you know that love burns people who break the rules?

# Cos it's breaking up my heart Feel like dying

# Breaking up my heart Feel like crying

APPLAUSE

Oh, yeah, shake those hips one more time. Can he move or can he move?

Madonna is celebrating this week. She is up to number four.

No longer a virgin, but this time a material girl.

# Some boys kiss me, Some boys hug me

# I think they're OK

# If they don't give me proper credit I just walk away

# They can beg and they can plead but they can't see the light

# That's right

# Cos the boy with the cold hard cash

# Is always Mister Right, cos we are

# Living in a material world and I am a material girl

# You know that we are living in a material world

# And I am a material girl

# Some boys romance, some boys slow dance

# That's all right with me

# If they can't raise my interest then I have to let them be

# Some boys try and some boys lie

# But I don't let them play No way

# Only boys that save their pennies

# Make my rainy day, cos we are

# Living in a material world and I am a material girl

# You know that we are living in a material world

# And I am a material girl

# Living in a material world and I am a material girl

# You know that we are living in a material world

# And I am a material girl

# Living in a material world (material)

# Living in a material world

# Living in a material world (material)

# Living in a material world

# Boys may come and boys may go and that's all right you see

# Experience has made me rich and now they're after me

# Cos everybody's

# Living in a material world and I am a material girl

# You know that we are living in a material world

# And I am a material girl

# Living in a material world and I am a material girl

# You know that we are living in a material world

# And I am a material girl

# A material, a material A material, a material world

# Living in a material world (material)

# Living in a material world

# Living in a material world (material)

# Living in a material world

# Living in a material world (material)

# Living in a material world

# Living in a material world (material)

# Living in a material world. #

That's Madonna, and did you notice me in the video with the flowers?

I've got some for you. Oh, typical.

Anyway, now live on our live Top Of The Pops,

here's Jermaine Jackson, Do What You Do.

# I don't mind

# Why don't you do what you do When you did what you did to me?

# Love was so good that it filled up all my needs

# I was crazy for you You were crazy for me

# How could something so right go so wrong

# My love, sweet love

# Why don't you say what you say

# When you say what you said any more?

# Your eyes couldn't lie So long goodbye, close the door

# I was crazy for you You were crazy for me

# How could something so right go so wrong

# My love, sweet love

# Tell me something that I didn't do

# Why did someone else have to pull you through?

# Did they steal you away like a thief in the night?

# Love like this must take flight

# Why don't they play what they played

# On the nights you danced with me?

# Remember the one we made love to endlessly

# I was crazy for you You were crazy for me

# And how could something so right go so wrong

# My love, sweet love

# Why don't you do what you do. #

Jermaine Jackson. You know, I actually managed to get Peelie to do a slowie to that one.

Yes, what a mover, what a mover.

I remember seeing him at Wembley when he what? About that big.

It's time for those top 40 breakers on video.

Yes, it's the top 40 breakers.

And straight in at 37, it's London-based band Loose Ends,

and it's their first top 40 hit. This is Hangin' On A String.

# I'm not your plaything

# You, you've got me hangin' on a string now

# I ain't your plaything

# You never told me you were waiting, contemplating

# You never told me you were waiting, contemplating

# Come on, child Take me by the hand. #

Go West, a brace of likeable cockneys

who want to travel and meet people,

and hit them with blunt instruments.

# We close our eyes to see the final frame

# We close our eyes to time slipping away

# No show Wednesday girl waits with the wine

# She knows just what to say

# While no-one listens

# You can almost hear time slipping away

# We close our eyes we never lose a game

# Imagination never lets us take the blame

# We close our eyes to see the final frame

# We close our eyes and We can talk to strangers. #

OK, this week's highest new entry at 20 is the one

that's been wowing the yanks.

Earth, Wind & Fire's Phil Bailey meets up with

our very own Phil Collins,

and this is Easy Lover.

# She's an easy lover

# She'll take your heart but you won't feel it

# She's like no other And I'm just trying to make you see

# She's the kind of girl you dream of

# Dream of keeping hold of

# You'd better forget it You'll never get it

# She will play around and leave you Leave you and deceive you

# Better forget it Oh, you'll regret it

# No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it

# Get out quick cos seeing is believing

# It's the only way You'll ever know. #

Bailey and Collins, and that's Easy Lover.

-Are you an easy lover?

-You know me.

# If this is the last embrace

# I can never forget your face

# If this is the last kiss, I'll get used to it

# I'll get through this somehow

# Some way

# I won't stand in your way

# I won't even begin to say

# That you never looked better, never looked so good to me

# Though I've asked this before

# I won't ever ask anything more

# Just close your eyes and please do this for me

# And if this is the last kiss

# Last kiss

# If this is the last touch

# The last touch

# If this is the last time I will ever be holding you

# If this is the last embrace # I can never forget your face

# I can never forget your face

# If this is the last embrace

# If this is the last kiss, I'll get used to it

# I'll get through this somehow

# I'll get used to it

# I'll get through it # Some way

# If you've never been a lover

# She's got what you're looking for

# Then don't surrender cos you might discover

# That somebody somewhere is waiting for you to

# Remember the last kiss

# Last kiss # Just remember the last touch

# The last touch

# M-E-T-H-O-D O-F L-O-V-E

# It's a method of modern love

# In the moonlight, under starlight

# Songs old as the night are what I've been dreaming of

# Everybody's hard as iron

# Locked in a modern world

# Dreams are made of a different stuff

# I believe love will always be the same

# The ways and means are the parts subject to change

# M-E-T-H-O-D O-F L-O-V-E

# It's a method of modern love

# M-E-T-H-O-D O-F L-O-V-E

# It's a method of modern love

# I can call you

# Got your number

# Share my life with you a thousand miles away

# If you heard me, I haven't shown it

# Time's too tight to fight and we're never face-to-face

# Style is timeless and fashion's only now

# We are the ways, no-one needs to show us how... #
