08/12/1983 Top of the Pops

Well, hello. A very good evening to you and welcome once again

to Top Of The Pops.

To continue the story, here is Uncle Rotter.

Once upon a time in The Adventures of Tintin there were two detectives

who dressed just like this and they were called the Thompson Twins.

Now, the Thompson Twins are somewhat differently dressed

and they're down there and they've got a number four record.

It's called Hold Me Now and here they are.

APPLAUSE

# I have a picture

# Pinned to my wall

# An image of you and of me

# And we're laughing, we're loving it all

# Look at our life now

# Tattered and torn

# We fuss and we fight and delight in the tears

# That we cry until dawn

# Oh

# Hold me now

# Woooa

# Warm my heart

# Stay with me

# Let loving start, let loving start

# You say I'm a dreamer

# We're two of a kind

# Both of us searching for some perfect world

# We know we'll never find

# So perhaps I should leave here

# Yeah, yeah

# And go far away

# But you know that there's nowhere that I'd rather be

# Than with you here today

# Oh-oh, oh-oh

# Hold me now

# Oh-oh

# Warm my heart

# Stay with me

# Let loving start, let loving start

# Oh-oh

# Hold me now

# Whooooa

# Warm my heart

# Stay with me

# Let loving start, let loving start

# Whoooa-woooa

# You ask if I love you

# What can I say?

# You know that I do and if this is just one of those games that we play

# So I'll sing you a new song

# Please don't cry any more

# And then I'll ask your forgiveness

# Though I don't know just what I'm asking it for

# Oh-oh, oh-oh

-# Hold me now

-Hold me in your loving arms

-# Warm my heart

-Warm my cold and tired heart

-# Stay with me

-Stay with me

# Let loving start, let loving start

-# Oh, hold me now

-In your loving arms

-# Warm my heart

-Warm my cold and tired heart

-# Stay with me

-Stay with me

# Let loving start, let loving start

-# Oh, hold me now

-Hold me in your loving arms

-# Warm my heart

-Warm my cold and tired heart

# Stay with me

# Stay with me

# Let loving start, let loving start

-# Hold me now

-Hold me in your loving arms

-# Warm my heart

-Warm my cold and tired heart

-# Stay with me

-Stay with me

# Let loving start Let loving start. #

APPLAUSE

The Thompson Twins and Hold Me Now at number four

which is "di si" in Chinese.

Billy Joel's at 22. I can't handle that in Chinese.

Ji-sap-ji.

APPLAUSE

# You know I don't like watching anybody make

# The same mistakes I made

# She's a real nice girl

# And she's always there for you

# But a nice girl wouldn't tell you what you should do

# Listen, boy I'm sure that you think

# You got it all under control

# You don't want somebody telling you

# The way to stay in someone's soul

# You're a big boy now

# You'll never let her go

# You'll never let her go

# But that's just the kind of thing she ought to know

# Tell her about it

# Tell her everything you feel

# Give her every reason to accept

# That you're for real

# Tell her about it

# Tell her all your crazy dreams

# Let her know you need her

# Let her know how much she means

# Woooo!

# Woooo!

# Listen, boy, it's not automatically a certain guarantee

# To insure yourself

# You've got to provide communication constantly

# When you love someone

# You're always insecure

# And there's only one good way

# To reassure

# Tell her about it

# Let her know how much you care

# When she can't be with you

# Tell her you wish you were there

# Tell her about it

# Every day before you leave

# Pay her some attention

# Give her something to believe

# Cos now and then

# She'll get to worrying

# Just because you haven't spoken for so long

# Though you may not have done anything

# Will that be a consolation when she's gone?

# Listen, boy, it's good information

# From a man who's made mistakes

# Just a word or two that she gets from you

# Could be the difference that it makes

# She's a trusting soul

# She's put her trust in you

# You know she put her trust in you

# But a girl like that won't tell you what you should do

# Tell her about it

# Tell her everything you feel

# Give her every reason to accept that you're for real

# Tell her about it

# Tell her all your crazy dreams

# Let her know you need her

# Let her know how much she means

# Tell her about it

# Tell her how you feel right now

# Tell her about it

# The girl don't want to wait too long

# You got to tell her about it

# Tell her now and you won't go wrong

# You got to tell her about it... #

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

That's Mr Billy Joel and Tell Her About It, and I did, didn't I?

-Yes.

-And now I'm going to tell everybody this is Paul Young

and Love Of The Common People.

# Living on free food tickets

# Water in the milk from a hole in the roof

# Where the rain came through

# What can you do?

# Tears from your little sister

# Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch

# For the party to go

# But you know she'll get by

# Cos she's living in the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can

# And she can

# It's a good thing you don't have bus fare

# It would fall through the hole in your pocket

# And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

# You gotta walk into town to find a job

# Trying to keep your hands warm

# When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

# And chill you to the bone

# So you better go home where it's warm

# Where you can live in the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

# And she can

# Living on a dream ain't easy

# But the closer the knit the tighter the fit

# And the chills stay away

# Just take them in stride for family pride

# You know that faith is your foundation

# And with a whole lot of love and warm conversation

-# But don't forget to pray

-Forget to pray

# It's making it strong where you belong

# And we're living in the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can

# And she can

# Yes, we're living in the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can

# Living in the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can

# Living in the love of the common people

# Smiles really hard on a family man

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

# And she can. #

Or anywhere. Next week, it's Simon Bates and Janice Long.

Take care. Have a great time. Bye-bye, everybody. Goodnight.

# Baby, can't you see I'm ready to dance, dance, dance?

# And I can't stop this rhythm in my heart

# Move it, move it, baby

# Can't you see I'm ready to dance, dance, dance?

# Without this beat, my life would fall apart

# Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot

# Gotta make a lot of money Gonna break your heart

# Watch out, boy, watch out, boy Watch out, boy

# Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot

# Gotta make a lot of money Gonna break your heart

# But I'm the only one with the key

# Sometimes you wake up in the morning with the bass line

# A ray of sunshine

# Sometimes you know today you're gonna have a good time

# And you're ready to go...

# Turn the music up, turn the music up, turn it up

# Cos it's all right

# Greedy men in far off places

# Don't be afraid to show your faces

# We know what you've done is wrong

# But clap your hands and sing along now!

# Don't even bother to let us know

# When you flick the switch and stop the show

# Because the party has begun

# And we'll still be dancing as you run now

# Come on, everybody

# Get on with your party

# And don't let nobody say you're wrong

# OK, so you've lost control

# But they'll never steal your soul

# No way that they're gonna spoil your fun. #
