08/06/1983 Top of the Pops

And welcome to another live Top Of The Pops.

You might not believe this but my pal was in hospital last night.

That's true, I was knocked off my bicycle by a hit-and-run driver -

but better luck next time, eh, Simon?

This is one of Bates's favourite bands - Twisted Sister.

# We walk the streets

# In tattered armies

# We got the lion in our hearts

# We're not looking for trouble

# Just for some fun

# But we're all ready if you want to start

# So just remember the

# The kids are back

# The kids are back

# Oh, watch out

# The kids are back

# Well, can you blame us

# For living our dreams?

# Just look around and you'll see why

# We don't want to follow

# That same routine

# Maybe it's for nothing But we gotta try

# So just remember the

# The kids are back

# The kids are back

# Oh, watch out

# The kids are back

# Look out.. #

GUITAR SOLO

# Now there's no problem

# No need to fuss

# We ain't out to stop your fun

# Don't mind us asking

# Cos we've got to know

# How can we stop it when you're having none?

# So just remember the

# The kids are back

# The kids are back

# Oh, watch out, the kids are back

# So just remember the

# The kids are back

APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

Twisted Sister and The Kids Are Back.

Our highest new entry this week is at number eight.

It's David Bowie, and here he is messing about in the Orient

with his China Girl.

# Oh, oh, oh

# Little China girl

# Oh, oh, oh

# Little China girl

# I could escape this feeling

# With my China girl

# I feel a wreck without my

# Little China girl

# I hear her heart beating

# Loud as thunder

# Saw the stars crashing

# I'm a mess without my little China girl

# Wake up in the morning Where's my little China girl?

# I hear her heart's beating

# Loud as thunder

# Saw the stars crashing down

# I'm feeling tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

# When I look at my China girl

# I could pretend nothing really meant too much

# When I look at my China girl

# I stumble in to town

# Just like a sacred cow

# Visions of swastikas in my head

# Plans for everyone

# It's in the whites of my eyes

# My little China girl

# You shouldn't mess with me

# I'll ruin everything you are

# You know, I'll give you television

# I'll give you eyes of blue

# I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

# And when I get excited

# My little China girl says

# Oh, baby, just you shut your mouth

# She says

# Sh-sh-sh... #

APPLAUSE

That's David Bowie with an old Iggy Pop song.

In case you're wondering why this edition of Top Of The Pops is

on a Wednesday, it's because of the election tomorrow.

Don't forget to put your X at the end of Ultravox.

Hey!

# We came to dance

# Making moves from a passion play

# The ties that bind will just slip away

# We came to dance

# The piper calls out a different rhyme

# He cracks the whip and we step in time

# Standing as the parade goes passing by

# I hear a voice around me cry

# Like the sound of distant drums

# Rejected and alone

# A heart without a home

# Then someone said

# We came to dance

# Making moves from a passion play

# The ties that bind us just slip away

# We came to dance

# The piper calls out a different rhyme

# He cracks the whip and we step in time

# We came to dance

# Waiting as the panic grips my hand

# Hearing prose from high command

# Like a million times before

# No dignity or grace

# It's the prize and not the race

# And someone said

# We came to dance

# Making moves from a passion play

# The ties that bind us just slip away

# We came to dance

# The piper calls out a different rhyme

# He cracks the whip and we step in time

# We came to dance

# We came to dance

# Making moves from a passion play

# The ties that bind us just slip away

# We came to dance

# Making moves from a passion play

# The ties that bind us just slip away

# We came to dance

# The piper calls out a different rhyme

# He cracks the whip and we step in time

# We came to dance

# Making moves from a passion play

# The ties that bind us just slip away

# We came to dance... #

APPLAUSE

That was Ultravox, and look out for a new single by Midge Ure

and Mick Karn which is out soon.

Currently number one in America, Irene Cara. This is Flashdance.

# First when there's nothing

# But a slow glowing dream

# That your fear seems to hide

# Deep inside your mind

# All alone I have cried

# Silent tears full of pride

# In a world made of steel

# Made of stone

# Well, I hear the music

# Close my eyes, feel the rhythm

# Wrap around

# Take a hold of my heart

# What a feeling

# Being's believing

# I can have it all

# Now I'm dancing for my life

# Take your passion

# And make it happen

# Pictures come alive

# You can dance right through your life

# Now, I hear the music

# Close my eyes, I am rhythm

# In a flash it takes hold of my heart

# What a feeling

# Being's believing

# I can have it all Now I'm dancing for my life

# What a feeling

-# What a feeling

-I am music now

# Being's believing

# I am rhythm now

# Pictures come alive

# You can dance right through your life

# What a feeling

# I can really have it all

# What a feeling

# Pictures come alive when I call

# I can have it all.... #

That's Irene Cara, filmed in one of those countries which still

has a steel industry.

Up next, H2O, which, as we all know, is the chemical formula

for Brown Windsor Soup. H2O.

# Someone glimpsed across a dance floor

# Not going home and loving in doorways

# A room to remember who to meet in

# Secrets in through your heads and out through your mouth

# Elsewhere anyone sharing a sunrise

# I've never been a silhouette before

# Touch to the sound of young Americans

# Or am I still too young?

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# Dancing together

# Tangoed emotions

# Blushing, you turn your face away

# Silent persuasion that reshaped my future

# And I'll never be the same again

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# Someone glimpsed across a dance floor

# Not going home and loving in doorways

# A room to remember who to meet in

# Secrets in through your heads and out through your mouth

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream

# I dream to sleep

# I sleep to dream. #

APPLAUSE

H2O making their Top Of The Pops debut,

George Benson and Lady, Love Me.

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

# If you're askin' me to say

# Livin' life without you, girl, is all right

# If you really want to know

# I'd have to say it's dangerous to my mind

# So before you turn and walk away

# Just let me love you one more time

# Feel your heartbeat close to mine

# Let me love you all the time

# Lady, love me

# Yes, I'm askin' you to stay

# Remembering it used to be so right

# If you're askin' for the truth

# I'd have to say I won't believe it's goodnight

# So before you turn and walk away

# Just let me love you one more time

# Feel your heartbeat close to mine

# Lady, love me all the time

# Lady, love me

# Do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do-do

# Do-do-do-do-do, do, do-do, do-do

# Do-do-do, do

# Do-do-do-do-do, do-do, do-do-do

# Do-do-do, do-do, do, do-do-do-do-do-do

# So before you turn and walk away

# Just let me love you one more time

# Feel your heartbeat close to mine

# Lady, love me all the time

# Love me, Lady, all the time

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh. #

APPLAUSE

Right, that was George Benson.

-Coming up next, a mystery artist.

-That's really nice.

I like a bit of a mystery.

Yeah, someone called the Impostor.

-It's not Shaky, is it?

-I don't know.

-Let's have a look.

# They talk to the sister

# The father and the mother

# With a microphone in one hand

# And the cheque book in the other

# And the camera noses in

# To the tears on her face

# The tears on her face

# The tears on her face

# You can put them back together with your paper and paste

# But you can't put them back together

# You can't put them back together

# What would you say?

# What would you do?

# Children and animals two by two

# Give me the needle

# Give me the rope

# We're going to melt them down for pills and soap

# Four and twenty crowbars, jemmy your desire

# Out of the frying pan into the fire

# The king is in the counting house

# Some folk have all the luck

# And all we get is pictures of Lord and Lady Muck

# They come from lovely people with a hard line in hypocrisy

# There are ashtrays of emotion for the fag ends of the aristocracy

# What would you say?

# What would you do?

# Children and animals two by two

# Give me the needle

# Give me the rope

# We're going to melt them down for pills and soap

# Give me the needle

# Give me the rope

# The sugar-coated pill is getting bitterer still

# You think your country needs you but you know it never will

# So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag

# Don't dilly dally, boys, rally round the flag

# Give us our daily bread in individual slices

# And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis

# What would you say?

# What would you do?

# Children and animals two by two

# Give me the needle

# Give me the rope

# We're going to melt them down for pills and soap

# Give me the needle

# Give me the rope

# We're going

# To melt them down

# For pills and soap. #

APPLAUSE

Good night.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Baby Jane

# Don't leave me hanging on the line

# I knew you when you had no-one to talk to

# Now you're moving in high society

# Don't forget

# I know secrets about you

# I used to think you were on my side

# But now I'm no longer sure

# I wish I knew what I know now before

# When I give my heart again

# I know it's gonna last forever

# No-one tell me where or when

# I know it's gonna last forever

# Baby Jane

# Don't it make you feel sad?

# Just when I thought that we were winning

# You and I were so close in every way

# Don't time fly when you're loving and laughing

# I've said goodbye so many times the situation ain't all that new

# Optimism's my best defence

# I'll get through without you

# When I give my heart again

# I know it's gonna last forever

# No-one tell me where or when

# I know it's gonna last forever. #
