08/04/1982 Top of the Pops

Hello, welcome to an Easter edition

of Top Of The Pops.

Here's the Easter Bunny to prove it.

And there's something

rather special in

a world exclusive later on

on tonight's programme,

but first of all, after

Love Plus One, look over there,

and you'll see Fantastic Day, the

new single with Haircut One Hundred,

on Top Of The Pops.

# Well, there's a great amount of

strain about getting on that train

# Every day and every night

# The only thing that makes it good

is seeing my favourite sight

# Prance and flutter stride down

that green escalator, yeah

# Well, I'm getting off the train

and my love is on my brain

# Every day and every night

# The only thing that makes it right

is seeing my favourite sight

# Crying in the night with the

summer in her eyes tonight

# Fantastic day today

# Fantastic day

# Well, I can find a funny

feeling, funny as a smile

# When your mouth is all dry, why?

# Fantastic day today

# Fantastic day

# Well, it's a fantastic day today

# Well, it's a fantastic day

# I know I've lost myself again

# True love has passed me by

# I tried to shave myself

# Be a happier guy

# Night and day

# I can see it in your eyes

Now the summer never smiles

# On a happy honey day

# Am I being in the way?

Well, I'm so in love with you

# I can't sit down and I cry in pain

with night and day

# Fantastic day today

# Fantastic day

# Well, it's a fantastic day today

# Well, it's a fantastic day

# Well, it's a fantastic day today

# Well, it's a fantastic day. #

Haircut One Hundred, of course. Now,

then, it's Easter time, which is

Eurovision time, and here's last

year's British Eurovision winners,

Bucks Fizz, with their

latest hit, My Camera Never Lies.

# I've been checking you up

I've been tracking you down

# Funny all the things

that I've found

# Was it any surprise?

Didn't you realise?

# I must apologise

# It doesn't matter any more

# To you

# Cos everything you tell me

is boring

# Nothing's gonna throw me now

# It doesn't matter what I say

To you

# Cos you've got that look

in your eyes

# The camera never lies

# My camera never lies

# So I'll put you in the picture

and cut it down to size

# My camera, oh-oh

# My camera never lies any more

# Cos there's noting worth lying for

My camera never lies

# There's nothing worth lying for

My camera never lies

# My camera never lies any more

# Try to cover the trail

Try to head for the line

# Wonder why you're

wasting your time

# With another disguise

cos there's no compromise

# When the negative is dry

# It doesn't matter what

I do for you

# Cos every time you take me

I'm sleeping

# You're never gonna shake me now

# It doesn't matter how I try

for you

# I can see by the look in your eyes

# The camera never lies

# My camera never lies

# So I'll put you in the picture

and cut it down to size

# My camera, oh-oh

# My camera never lies any more

# Cos there's nothing

worth lying for

# My camera never lies

# There's nothing worth lying for

# My camera never lies

# My camera never lies any more

# Click, click, oh, oh

# Click, click, oh, oh

# Click, click, my camera never

# My camera, my camera

# My camera never lies, oh, oh

# My camera never lies any more

cos there's nothing worth lying for

# Oh, oh, oh My camera never lies

# So I'll put you in the picture

and cut it down to size. #

Bucks Fizz with

My Camera Never Lies.

Behind me, the guys who've been

wardrobed for the whole afternoon.

It's Chas & Dave, all dressed up,

their hair done nicely,

Ain't No Pleasing You,

which is a hit for them.

# Well, I've built my life around

you, did what I thought was right

# But you never cared about me

Now I've seen the light

# Oh, darling

# There ain't no pleasing you

# You seem to think that everything

I ever did was wrong

# I should have known it all along

# Oh, darling

# There ain't no pleasing you

# You only had to say the word

# And you knew I'd do it

# You had me where you wanted me

# But you went and blew it

# Now everything I ever done

# Was only done for you

# But now you can go and do

# Just what you wanna do

# I'm telling you

# Cos I ain't gonna be made to look

a fool no more

# You done it once too often

What do you take me for?

# Oh, darling

# There ain't no pleasing you

# And you seem to think that

everything I ever did was wrong

# I should have known it all along

# That, darling

# There ain't no pleasing you

# You only had to say the word

# And you knew I'd do it

# You had me where you wanted me

# But you went and blew it

# Now everything I ever done

# Was only done for you

# But now you can go and do

# Just what you wanna do

# I'm telling you

# Cos I ain't gonna be made to

look a fool no more

# You done it once too often

What do you take me for?

# Oh, darling

# There ain't no pleasing you

# And if you think I don't mean what

I said, and I'm only bluffing

# You got another think coming

I'm telling you that for nothing

# Oh, darling, I'm leaving

# That's what I'm gonna do. #

That's Chas & Dave,

Ain't No Pleasing You.

The drummer is a mean man with a

pint, and known as Mick Burt.

It's good to see back

in the charts again

Bob Geldof and The Boomtown Rats,

and to prove it, here they are.

# I saw Tarzan outside

playing on the Jungle Blues

# I know, cos I saw him shimmer

in a Kenyan pool

# Coming on in the vines

with his leopard-skin loincloth cool

# Bony Watusi fingers

Beating on the bark of a tree

# Now, Tarzan and me

Well, obviously, we're like that

# Yes, me and Tarzan

Well, we get on like a house on fire

# But look at cool Louise, she's the

one with the knick-knack eyes

# Eye, eye, eye, eye, eyes

# She's only 17

and she knows how to make boys fight

# Eye, eye, eye, eye, eyes

# She'll slit you with her eyes

# And she'll slash you with her

cut-back smile

# Eye, eye, eye

# And she's as cruel as a pig

But we love her like a house on fire

# Well, Louise and me

Now, obviously, we're like that

# Me and Louise, yeah, we get on

like a house on fire

# Like a house on fire, yeah

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, house on fire

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, house on fire

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, house on fire

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, house on fire. #

The Boomtown Rats and House On Fire.

I was talking to Elton John

on the phone, cos he's on a world

tour at the moment, and he says

he wants a hit when he gets back to

Britain. This might be it.

# Blue eyes

# Baby's got blue eyes

# Like a deep blue sea

# On a blue, blue day

# Blue eyes

# Baby's got blue eyes

# When the morning comes

# I'll be far away

# And I say

# Blue eyes holding back the tears

# Holding back the pain

# Baby's got blue eyes

# And she's alone

# Again

# Blue eyes

# Baby's got blue eyes

# Like a clear blue sky

# Watching over me

# Blue eyes

# I love blue eyes

# When I'm by her side

# Where I long to be

# I will see

# Blue eyes laughing in the sun

# Laughing in the rain

# Baby's got blue eyes

# And I am home

# And I am home again

# Blue eyes laughing in the sun

# Laughing in the rain

# Baby's got blue eyes

# And I am home

# Again. #

That was a beautiful song. That's

Blue Eyes by Elton John.

When he gets back off tour, let's

see if it's higher in the charts,

and that's only a few

weeks from now.

Now then, in your eyes, Zoom.

In your ears, Shalamar and

I Can Make It Feel So Good.

# Are you the kind to put

your heart on the line?

# Or one who stays out of reach?

# Cos unlike other guys

I won't waste your time

# I just want to practise

what I preach

# Girl, love can be such a challenge

# A game where there can be

two winners

# Unlike any sport, it

depends on the prize

# And knowing where the

real thing lies

# To make a long story short

# Baby, I can make you feel good

# I can make you feel good

# Let me lay this good love on you

# Baby, I can make you feel good

I can make you feel good

# You can say I really want you

# Oh, it's so good

# Oh, there's guys that offer

you diamonds and pearls

# Those are the ones

without the need

# Other guys say that they

can give you the world

# But a world of love is

what you'll get from me

# Girl, those material things

# Meant more to me before

the day I found you

# Now I truly believe all

the money in the world

# Can't comfort me the way I

wrap my arms around you

# And I'll always be there

# Cos, baby, I can

make you feel good

# I can make you feel good

# Let me lay this good

love on you, whoa, whoa

# Baby, I can make you feel good

I can make you feel good

# You can say I really want you

# Let me make you feel good

(I can make you feel good)

# Let me make you feel good

I can make you feel good

# I can make you feel good

I can make you feel good

# Whoa, whoa, whoa

# Oh, so good, baby

# Oh, so good

# Let me make you feel good

I can make you feel good

# Are you the kind to put

your heart on the line?

# Or one who stays out of reach? #

Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder

and that's the highest climber in

the American charts at the moment.

Talking about the American charts,

let's get back to Britain

and have a look at the rest of ours.

It's a climb of six places for

Foster & Allen to number 18.

Altered Images are at 17

The Damned Don't Cry.

And at 11, Is It A Dream

with Classix Nouveaux.

But let's go back to number 18

with Foster & Allen

and A Bunch Of Thyme.

# Once, she had a bunch of thyme

# And thought it never would decay

# Then came a lusty sailor

who chanced to pass that way

# And stole her bunch of thyme away

# The sailor gave to her a rose

# A rose that never would decay

# He gave it to her

to keep her reminded

# Of when he stole her thyme away

# So come all ye maidens

young and fair

# All you that are blooming

in your prime

# Always beware

and keep your garden fair

# Let no man steal away your thyme

# For thyme, it is a precious thing

# And thyme brings all

things to my mind

# Thyme with all its labours

along with all its joys

# And thyme brings all

things to an end. #

That's twice,

they're very welcome on.

Foster & Allen

And the third week at number one,

it's the Goombay Dance Band,

# Seven tears have flown

into the river

# Seven tears have flown

into the river

# Seven tears are running to the sea

# If, one day

they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent

with love from me

# Here I stand

# Head in hand

# Lonely like a stranger

on the shore

# I can't stand this

feeling any more

# Day by day

# This world's all grey

# And if dreams were eagles

I would fly

# But they ain't

and that's the reason why

# Seven tears have flown

into the river

# Seven tears are running to the sea

# If, one day, they reach

some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent

with love from me

# Oh, my darling

oh, my pretty lady

# Golden star that leads to

paradise

# Like a river's running to

the ocean

# I'll come back to you

four thousand miles

# Seven tears have flown

into the river

# Seven tears are running to the sea

# If, one day

they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent

with love from me

# Oh, my darling

oh, my pretty lady

# Golden star that leads to paradise

# Like a river's running to

the ocean

# I'll come back to you

four thousand miles

# Seven tears have flown

into the river

# Seven tears are running

to the sea

# If, one day

they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent

with love from me

# Then you'll know it's sent

with love from me

# Oh, my darling

oh, my pretty lady

# Golden star that leads to

paradise... #
