08/11/1984 Top of the Pops

APPLAUSE

We are live tonight from Television Centre. In the studio, Eugene Wilde,

Billy Ocean - stars, all of them.

We also have a new Number 1 tonight. It's exactly 7:20pm tonight,

here's Never Ending song, Limahl.

The lady with Limahl over here happens to be called Mandy

and she's a Spurs supporter. She sings quite well, though.

APPLAUSE

# Turn around

# Look at what you see

# In her face

# The mirror of your dream

# Make believe I'm everywhere

# Hidden in the lines

# Written on the pages

# Is the answer to a never ending story

# Ahh, ahh, ahh

# Reach the stars

# Fly a fantasy

# Dream a dream

# And what you see will be

# Rhymes that keep their secrets

# Will unfold behind the clouds

# And there upon the rainbow

# Is the answer to a never ending story

# Ahh, ahh, ahh

# Story

# Ahh, ahh, ahh

# Show no fear

# For she may fade away

# In your hands

# The birth of a new day

# Rhymes that keep their secrets

# Will unfold behind the clouds

# And there upon the rainbow

# Is the answer to a never ending story

# Ahh, ahh, ahh

# Never ending story

# Ahh, ahh, ahh

# Never ending story

# Ahh, ahh, ahh

# Never ending story... #

CHEERING

That's Limahl and Never Ending Story, with Mandy from Tottenham.

There's a new video out, first time on Top Of The Pops.

It's by Status Quo. And it's really good fun. I mean, that's all it is.

It's The Wanderer. Have a look at it. See what you think.

# Well, I'm the type of guy who never settles down

# Where pretty girls are well, you'll know that I'm around

# I kiss 'em and I love 'em

# Cos to me they're all the same

# I hug 'em and I squeeze 'em

# They don't even know my name

# They call me the Wanderer

# Hey, the Wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around

# Oh, well, there's Flo on my left

# And then there's Mary on my right

# And Janie is the girl that'll be with tonight

# And when she asks me which one I love the best

# I tear open my shirt and show her Rosie on my chest

# Cos I'm a wanderer

# Hey, a wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around, around

# Well, I roam from town to town

# I go through life without a care

# And I'm as happy as a clown

# With my two fists of iron I'm goin' nowhere

# And I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around

# I'm never in one place

# I roam from town to town

# And when I find myself a-fallin' for some girl

# Yeah, I hop right into that car of mine

# And drive around the world

# Yeah, I'm a wanderer

# Yeah, a wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around

# Around, around, around

# Cos I roam from town to town

# I go through life without a care

# And I'm as happy as a clown

# With my two fists of iron I'm a-goin' nowhere

# But I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around

# I'm never in one place

# I roam from town to town

# And when find myself a-fallin' for some girl

# Yeah, I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world

# Cos I'm a wanderer

# Hey, a wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around, around

# They call me the Wanderer

# Hey, the Wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around, around

# Around, around, around

# They call me the Wanderer

# They call me the Wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around, around

# Thy call me the Wanderer

# Yeah, the Wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, around, around, around... #

APPLAUSE

So it is the status quo for The Wanderer this week.

They are Number 7 in the charts.

To the highest new entry now. It's Depeche Mode.

You may have seen them live on The Whistle Test doing Somebody.

Tonight, live on Top Of The Pops, Blasphemous Rumours.

CHEERING

# Girl of 16

# Whole life ahead of her

# Slashed her wrists

# Bored with life

# Didn't succeed

# Thank the Lord

# For small mercies

# Fighting back the tears

# Mother reads the note again

# 16 candles burn in her mind

# She takes the blame

# It's always the same

# She goes down on her knees and prays

# I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

# But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

# And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

# I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

# But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

# And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

# Girl of 18

# Fell in love with everything

# Found new life in Jesus Christ

# Hit by a car

# Ended up

# On a life support machine

# Summer's day

# As she passed away

# Birds were singing in the summer sky

# Then came the rain and once again

# A tear fell from her mother's eye

# I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

# But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

# And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

# I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

# But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

# And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

# I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours

# But I think that God's got a sick sense of humour

# And when I die I expect to find Him laughing

# I don't want to start any... #

APPLAUSE

That's Depeche Mode, who've been suffering from food poisoning for about the last week.

Also, Top Of The Pops has been snooping and we've discovered that Martin, when he sang Somebody,

which is the B side of that, sang it in the nude to get in the mood.

Here's Alison Moyet.

APPLAUSE

# You took your time to come back this time

# The grass has grown under your feet

# In your absence, I changed my mind

# And someone else is sitting in your seat

# I know that I said there'd be no-one else

# I know that I said I'd be true

# But, baby, I've burned out cupid's arrow

# And here's the short and the narrow

# I've nothing left to offer you

# I'm all cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing

# All cried out

# It's hard to give you something

# When you're pushing and a-shoving me around

# So don't look surprised

# There was no disguise

# You knew where I stood from the start

# So stop, look around you

# You're right back where I found you

# Take back your cold and empty heart

# I'm all cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing

# All cried out

# It's hard to give you something when you're pushing and a-shoving

# I'm all cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving

# I'm all cried out

# It's hard to give you something

# When you're pushing and a-shoving me around

# Around, around, around, around, around

# Around, around, around, around, around

-# You go your way

-You go your way

# I'll go mine

-# I won't stay around here

-I won't stay around here

# Don't you waste my time

# All cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing

# All cried out

# It's hard to give you something when you're pushing and a-shoving

# I'm all cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving

# I'm all cried out

# It's hard to give you something

# When you're pushing and a-shoving me around

# All cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving for a handful of nothing

# All cried out

# You took a whole lot of loving

# All cried out... #

She is out on tour at the moment. Alison Moyet, All Cried Out.

For the first time ever in history, a man has hit the Number 1 spot

in the American pop, soul and R&B charts.

It's this man here, Billy Ocean. Number 9.

CHEERING

# She dashed by me in painted-on jeans

# And all heads turned

# Cos she was the dream

# In the blink of an eye

# I knew her number and her name, yeah

# She said I was the tiger

# She wanted to tame

# Caribbean queen

# Now we're sharing the same dream

# And our hearts, they beat as one

# No more love on the run

# I lose my cool

# When she steps in the room

# And I get so excited

# Just from her perfume

# Electric eyes that you can't ignore

# And passion burns you like never before

# I was in search of a good time

# Just running my game, yeah

# Love was the furthest

# Furthest from my mind

# Caribbean queen

# Now we're sharing the same dream

# And our hearts, they beat as one

# No more love on the run

# I love you, I need you

# Caribbean queen

# Now we're sharing the same dream

# And our hearts, they beat as one

# No more love on the run

# Caribbean queen

# Now we're sharing the same dream

# And our hearts, they beat as one

# No more love on the run

# Caribbean queen

# Now we're sharing the same dream

# And our hearts, they beat as one

# No more love on the run... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Billy Ocean, Caribbean Queen, which has only just been toppled

from the American charts position of Number 1 by Wham!

OK, here's Chicago.

It's soft, it's slushy - it's none the worse for that on Top Of The Pops.

It's a Hard Habit To Break.

APPLAUSE

# I guess I thought you'd be here for ever

# Another illusion I chose to create

# You don't know what ya got until it's gone

# And I found out a little too late

# I was acting as if you were lucky to have me

# Doin' you a favour I hardly knew you were there

# But then you were gone and it all was wrong

# Had no idea how much I cared

# Now, being without you

# Takes a lot of getting used to

# Should learn to live with it

# But I don't want to

# Being without you

# It's all a big mistake

# Instead of getting easier

# It's the hardest thing to take

# I'm addicted to you, babe

# You're a hard habit to break

# You found someone else

# You had every reason

# You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him

# Two people together but living alone

# I was spreading my love too thin

# After all of these years

# I'm still tryin' to shake it

# Doin' much better They say that it just takes time

# But deep in the night it's an endless fight

# I can't get ya out of my mind

# Now, being without you

# Takes a lot of getting used to

# Should learn to live with it

# But I don't want to

# Being without you

# Is all a big mistake

# Instead of getting any easier

# It's the hardest thing to take

# I'm addicted to you, baby

# You're a hard habit to break

# I can't go on, just can't go on

# I can't go on, just can't go on

# Being without you

# Takes a lot of getting used to

# Should learn to live with it

# I don't want to

# Being without you

# Is all a big mistake

# Instead of getting any easier

# It's the hardest thing to take

# I'm addicted to you

# You're a hard habit to break

# Such a hard habit to break. #
