09/09/76 Top of the Pops

Welcome to Top Of The Pops.

APPLAUSE

# I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining

# My '60s Cadillac was rolling through Nebraska whining

# Doing 120 miles Man, it was just bending over

# Heading out for the mountains Knowing that she was burning

# All our fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning

# Had my girl beside me Brother, she was burning

# A Baptist preaching, Southern funky school teacher

# Had a line on something But we knew we couldn't reach her

# We told her that we needed something that would get us going

# She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing

# All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up

# The cops busted in and then we lay out in our pickup truck

# Go, get out of Denver, baby, go

# Get out of Denver, baby, go

# Get out of Denver, baby, go Get out of Denver

# Cos you look like a commie And you might be a member

# Baby, get out of Denver Baby, get out of Denver

# Red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screaming

# We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming

# I need your loving just to keep us just for half an hour

# Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

# The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber

# We kept on driving till we ran into some foggy weather

# We couldn't see a thing Somehow, we kept on going

# We kept on driving right up into the morning

# We finally see the picture that we were staring at

# Being followed by a state policeman trooper cat

# Go, get out of Denver, baby, go

# Get out of Denver, baby, go

# Get out of Denver, baby, go Get out of Denver

# Cos you look like a commie And you might be a member

# Baby, get out of Denver Baby, get out of Denver, baby, go

# Get out of Denver, baby

# Get out of Denver, baby Go, go, go, go, go, go, go

# Get out of Denver

# Cos you look like a commie and you might be a member

# Baby, get out of Denver, baby Get out of Denver, baby

# Get out of Denver, baby. #

APPLAUSE

Yeah!

Yes, indeed. Eddie And The Hot Rods, ladies and gentlemen.

Playing and singing live for you on Top Of The Pops, Get Out Of Denver.

Got to go to number one, that. As it happens, they promised me it would do so.

Now then, what have we got? At number 19 in the hit parade,

doesn't look a day over 16 - the one and only Miss Twiggy,

coming for you right this second.

How are all you ladies and gentlemen at home? Very well, we hope.

Have a nice time. See you soon. Here's Twig.

# When dawn comes to touch my purple haze

# And evening's drowsiness to carry me away

# I know once again that there is nothing we can save

# So, I'll pack up my things I'll be on my way

# Yes, here I go again

# Off down the road again

# Thinking thoughts of days gone by

# Here I am again

# Singing my songs again

# Thinking and dreaming

# Thoughts of you and I

# Father's gone to fight the war

# He left us here alone

# I shiver in the lonesome night

# Beside the telephone

# But time brings no word

# I guess he's not coming home

# It feels like the end

# It feels like the end, my friend

# Here we go again

# Off down the road again

# Thinking thoughts of things gone by

# Here I am again

# Singing my songs again

# Thinking and dreaming

# I feel like I could

# Thinking and dreaming

# I feel like I could

# Thinking and dreaming

# Oh, I feel like I could die

# Oh, yeah! #

APPLAUSE

Oh, yes, indeed, dear friends. And now, from the high seas,

the boiling, high seas, from the BBC seas, our friends from HSS Daedelus.

Say hello to everybody at home. Good morning, everybody.

And now, what do we have now?

I'm A Cider Drinker from The Wurzels.

Yes, indeed.

# When the moon shines on the cow shed

# And we're rolling in the hay

# All the cows are up there grazing

# And the milk is on its way

# I am a cider drinker

# I drinks it all of the day

# I am a cider drinker

# It soothes all me troubles away

# Ooh, arrh, ooh, arrh, ay Ooh, arrh, ooh, arrh, ay... #

Proper job, young 'uns. You want to try some.

# Now, dear old Mabel When she's able

# We takes a stroll down Lovers Lane

# And we'll sink a pint of scrumpy

# And we'll play old nature's game... #

Ha, ha, ha! Ooh, arrh!

# But we end up in the duck pond

# When the pub decides to close

# With me breeches full of tadpoles

# And the newts between my toes... #

Come on, my beauties!

# I am a cider drinker

# I drinks it all of the day

# I am a cider drinker

# It soothes all my troubles away

# Ooh, arrh, ooh, arrh, ay Ooh, arrh, ooh, arrh, ay... #

Come on, you all! Ha ha!

# I am a cider drinker

# I drinks it all of the day

# I am a cider drinker

# It soothes all me troubles away. #

This lot is from Leeds Infirmary, no less.

-What's number ten in the hit parade?

-You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine.

With Lou Rawls and Ruby Flipper, thank you.

# You'll never find As long as you live

# Someone who loves you

# Tender like I do

# You'll never find

# No matter where you search

# Someone who cares about you

# The way I do

# Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby

# But I'm the one who loves you

# And there's no-one else

# No-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-one else

# You'll never find

# It'll take the end of all time

# Someone to understand you like I do

# You'll never find

# The rhythm, the rhyme

# All the magic we shared

# Just us two

# Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby

# But I know somehow, someday, some way

# You are

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# When it's cold outside

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

# You'll never find

# Another love like mine

# You'll keep searching and searching

# Your whole life through

# Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby

# But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

# You're gonna miss

# My lovin'

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# I know you're gonna miss my lovin'

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my love

# Whoa!

# You're gonna miss my lovin'

# Late in the midnight hour... #

APPLAUSE

Oh, yes, indeedy, yes, indeedy, yes, indeedy, yes, indeedy.

I Can't Ask For Any More Than You is the title of the next tune.

It's at number 20, would you believe?

It's the one and only Cliff Richard, and here we are with two lovely ladies,

what have got Fireman Freds all over 'em, goodness gracious!

# Oh, baby

# You could have been a bad girl

# Wasted all my time

# You could have got me mad, girl

# And made me lose my mind

# But you did what you had to do

# And every word you said to me was true

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you

# It makes me very proud, baby

# To know that you're my girl

# I want to say it loud, baby

# I want to tell the world

# That you did what you had to do

# And every word you said to me was true

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you

# I've got everything a man could need

# Oh, I feel just like a slave that has been freed

# I won't cry myself to sleep no more

# Cos I've found the love that I've been looking for

# Oh, baby

# Now I don't have a problem

# Cos I know who I am

# You see, I lost my only problem

# When you made me your man

# Cos you did what you had to do

# And every word you said to me was true

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you.

# Doo-doo-doo

# No, babe

# Doo-doo-doo-doo

# You gave me what I asked for

# And I can't ask for any more than you

# Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

# Whoo-ooh!

# Whoo-ooh!

# Can't ask for anything more than you, babe

# Can't ask for anything more than you... #

APPLAUSE

How about that? Now then, ladies and gentlemen, at number 25, I Only Want To Be With You,

and, of course, here we have, just over there, the Bay City Rollers. Thank you very much.

Take it down!

# I don't know what it is that makes me love you so

# I only know I never wanna let you go

# Cos you started something Can't you see?

# Ever since we met you've got a hold on me

# It happens to be true

# I only wanna be with you

# It doesn't matter where you go or what you do

# I wanna spend each moment of the day with you

# Look what has happened with just one kiss

# I never knew that I could be in love like this

# It's crazy but it's true

# I only want to be with you

# You stopped to smile at me

# And asked me if I'd care to dance

# I fell into your open arms

# I didn't stand a chance

# Now, listen, honey

# I just wanna be beside you everywhere

# As long as we're together, honey, I don't care

# Cos you started something Can't you see?

# That ever since we met you've got a hold on me

# No matter what you do

# I only wanna be with you

# You stopped to smile at me

# And asked me if I'd care to dance

# I fell into your open arms

# I didn't stand a chance

# Now, listen, honey

# I just wanna be beside you everywhere

# As long as we're together, honey, I don't care

# Cos you started something Can't you see?

# That ever since we met you've got a hold on me

# No matter what you do

# I only want to be with you

# No matter, no matter what you do

# I only wanna be with you

# No matter, no matter what you do

# I only wanna be with you

APPLAUSE

Oh, yes, indeed, here we are surrounded by friends from Stoke Mandeville Hospital this time.

My goodness gracious! Now a nice cool sound that's on its way up the hit parade.

It's called Loving And Free and it's from our good friend Miss Kiki Dee, right over there.

Super.

# Bound, I am bound, like the knots in a string

# Eager to be where my life can begin

# Out of the shadow and into the sun

# So many things that I should have done

# I will untangle myself

# So that I can see

# I will untangle myself

# Everything will be

# Loving and free

# Bound, I am bound

# Like a rope on a swing

# Up in the air and then down again

# Sure for the first time so clear in my mind

# Wise to a feeling, I gently unwind

# I will untangle myself

# So that I can see

# I will untangle myself

# Everything will be

# Loving and free

# Bound, I am bound

# To remember your smile

# Something so special doesn't fade away

# Sadness is sweet when you're gone for a while

# When I see you there'll be a lot to say

# I-I-I will, I will untangle myself

# So that I can see

# I will untangle myself

# Everything will be

# Loving and free

# Loving and free

# Loving and free

APPLAUSE

# Loving and free. #

Yeah. Yeah, nice.

Now then, dear friends, at number 14, Manfred Mann, the Earth Band, would you believe?

Blinded By The Light for you right this second.

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Madman drummers, bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat

# In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

# With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older

# I tripped the merry-go-round

# With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing

# The calliope crashed to the ground

# The calliope crashed to the ground

# And she was blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Some silicone sister with a manager mister

# Told me I got what it takes

# She said, "I'll turn you on, son, into something strong

# "Play the song with the funky break"

# And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart

# To see if it was safe outside

# And little Early-Burly came by in his curly-wurly

# And asked me if I needed a ride

# The calliope crashed to the ground

# And she was blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# She got down but she never got tired

# She's gonna make it through the night. #

APPLAUSE

All I said was, "Who would like to be on television?"

That's all I said. They've all come and crushed in like this!

As it happens, the number-one sound is Dancing Queen, it's ABBA,

and my friends, from left to right,

it's Mary, Marjory, Fred, Harry, Dick, Tom and they all say hello.

Ha-ha!

# You can dance, you can jive

# Having the time of your life

# Whoo-hoo! See that girl, watch that scene

# Diggin' the dancing queen

# Friday night and the lights are low

# Looking out for a place to go

# Where they play the right music

# Getting in the swing

# You come to look for a king

# Anybody could be that guy

# Night is young and the music's high

# With a bit of rock music, everything is fine

# You're in the mood for a dance

# And when you get the chance... #

As it happens, ladies and gentlemen,

we haven't got time to say anything other than a quick good night. God bless.

See you next week for another Top Of The Pops.

# ..Only 17

# Dancing queen

# Feel the beat from the tambourine

# Oh, yeah

# You can dance

# You can jive

# Having the time of your life

# Whoo-hoo!

# See that girl

# Watch that scene

# Diggin' the dancing queen

# You're a teaser, you turn 'em on

# Leave them burning and then you're gone

# Looking out for another, anyone will do

# You're in the mood for a dance

# And when you get the chance

# You are the dancing queen

# Young and sweet

# Only 17

# Dancing queen

# Feel the beat from the tambourine Oh, yeah
