CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Got To Get You Into My Life" by The Surprise Sisters

# I was alone, I took a ride

# I didn't know what I would find there

# Another road where maybe I

# Could see another kind of life there

-# Ooh

-# Then I suddenly see you

-# Ooh

-# Did I tell you I need you?

# Every single day

# Of my life

# Got to get you into my life

# I got to get you into my life

# You didn't run, you didn't lie

# You knew I wanted just to hold you

# Hold me tight

# And had you gone, you knew in time

# We'd meet again for I had told you

-# Ooh, ooh

-# You were meant to be near me

-# Ooh, ooh

-# And I want you to hear me

# Say we'll be together

# Every day

# Got to get you into my life

# I got to get you into my life

# What can I do, what can I be

# When I'm with you I want to stay there

-# I want to stay there

-I want to stay with you

# And if I'm true I'll never leave

# And if I do, I know the way there

-# Ooh

-# Then I suddenly see you

-# Ooh

-# Oh, did I tell you I need you

# Every single day

# Of my life

# Got to get you into my life

# I got to get you into my life

# When I call you up your line's engaged

# Got to get you into my life

# Got to get you into my life

# Got to get you into my life

# Got to get you into my life

# Got to get you into my life... #

Oh, delightful, delightful! A somewhat sumptuous way

to get this edition of Top Of The Pops underway.

That's my record of the week this week

on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show - The Surprise Sisters,

and Got To Get You Into My Life. Going back a few weeks now,

because this is already going very well in the chart -

in fact it's this week's number five - The Real Thing, and You To Me Are Everything.

# Mmmmm, I would take the stars out of the sky for you

# Stop the rain from falling if you ask me to

# I'd do anything for you Your wish is my command

# I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand

# Words could not express how much you mean to me

# There must be some other way to make you see

# If it takes my heart and soul you know I'd pay the price

# Anything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice

# Oh, you to me are everything

# The sweetest song that I can sing

# Oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# To you I guess I'm just a clown

# Who picks you up each time you're down

# Oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# You give me just a taste of love to build my hopes upon

# You know you got the power, girl To keep me holding on

# So now you got the best of me

# Come on and take the rest of me

# Oh, baby

# Mmmmm, though you're close to me we seem so far apart

# Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart

# If it takes for ever, girl Then I'm prepared to wait

# The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late

# Oh, you to me are everything

# The sweetest song that I can sing

# Oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# To you I guess I'm just a clown

# Who picks you up each time you're down

# Oh, baby

# Oh, baby

# You give me just a taste of love to build my hopes upon

# You know you got the power, girl To keep me holding on

# So now you've got the best of me

# Come on and take the rest of me

# Oh, baby

# You to me are everything

# You're the sweetest song that I can sing

-# Oh, baby

-Oh, baby

-# Oh, baby

-You know I need you, baby

# You to me are everything

-# Yeah, yeah

-The sweetest song that I can sing

-# Oh, baby

-You are everything to me

-# Oh, baby

-Can't you see?

-# You to me are everything

-You are everything... #

APPLAUSE

A very favourite record of mine. It's a very interesting top 30

at the moment - Gallagher & Lyle, Candi Staton on the one hand,

soulful sounds like that from The Real Thing,

then you got comedy numbers like JJ Barrie - oops, sorry! -

wash my mouth out - the Wurzels at number one. We'll see them a bit later.

And a nostalgic feel at this week's number 27

from Dion, and The Wanderer.

BLUES-BASED 12-BAR-SHUFFLE INTRO

# Oh, well, I'm the type of guy

# Who will never settle down

# Where pretty girls are

# Well, you 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

# Yeah, the wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, mmm

# Oh, well There's Flo on my left arm

# And there's Mary on my right

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

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

# I tear open my shirt

# And I got Rosie on my chest

# Cos I'm a wanderer

# Yeah, the wanderer

# I roam around, around, around, mmm

# 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

# But I'm going nowhere

# Oh, yeah, 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

# Falling for some girl

# Yeah I hop right into that car of mine

# I drive around the world

# Yeah, I'm a wanderer

# Yeah, a wanderer

# I roam around, around Around, around, yeah...

There they were, sweating it out at the Boston Tea Party.

It's the little perspirations that make all the difference.

The Alex Harvey Band. If you're wondering what he was holding,

that's known as a drell spoon, just as in Archie Bell & The Drells,

who are doing a bit of walking.

Very first time they've been on the programme. Best of luck to Flintlock

and Dawn.

-APPLAUSE

-Gosh, gosh, gosh,

don't they look young? That's Flintlock,

first time on the programme. They're hovering just outside the top 30.

Now, it's a long time since we had an artist on Top Of The Pops

from behind the Iron Curtain. In fact I can't remember the last time.

While you're pondering on that, here's Bryan Ferry.

MUSIC: "Let's Stick Together" by Bryan Ferry

# And now the marriage vow is very sacred

# The man's put us together now

# You ought to make it stick together

# Come on, come on Let's stick together

# You know we made a vow

# Not to leave one another never

# But now you never miss your water

# Till your well runs dry

# Come on, now, baby

# Give our love a try

# And stick together

# Come on, come on Let's stick together

# You know we made a vow

# To leave one another never

BLUES-ROCK BRIDGE

# Well, if you're stuck for a while

# Consider our child

# How can it be happy without its mom and pop

# We stick together

# Come on, come on Let's stick together

# You know we made a vow

# Not to leave one another never

-# Oh

-Yow-yow-yow-yow-yow-yow

# Ah-ha

# Arrrrrrriba

-# Ah-ha, ah-ha

-Now if you're stuck for a while

# Consider our child

# How can it be happy without its mom and pop

# We stick together

# Come on, come on Let's stick together... #

I'm surprised that lad can play his harmonica when she's doing that.

Maybe that's what they mean by dancing the body music.

Oh, happy chappies, aren't they?

Osibisa, and they were dancing the body music.

-They've just come...

-CHEERING

Thank you. They've just come from that part of the world where they grow little Rolf Harrises.

No, not the West Country! That's where The Wurzels come from.

# I drove my tractor through your haystack last night

# Oo-arr, oo-arr

# I threw my pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet

# Oo-arr, oo-arr

# Now something's telling me that you're avoiding me

# Oo-arr, oo-arr

# Come on, now, darlin' You got something I need

# Cos I got a brand-new combine harvester

# And I'll give you the key

# Come on, now, let's get together in perfect harmony

# I got 20 acres

# And you got 43

# Well, I've got a brand-new combine harvester

# And I'll give you the key...

She made I laugh! Ha-ha!

# I'll stick by you

# I'll give you all that you need

# Oo-arr, oo-arr

-# I'm a man built for speed

-Oo-arr, oo-arr

# And you know I love you, darlin'

# Pigs sleep in the kitchen It's a proper disgrace

-# Oo-arr, oo-arr

-And if I cleaned it up

# Weren't we a grand couple at that last Wurzels dance?

# I wore brand-new gaiters and me corduroy pants

# In your new Sunday dress

# With your perfume smelling grand

# We had our photos took and us holding hands

# Well, I've got a brand-new combine harvester

# And I'll give you the key

# Now that we're both past our 50s I think that you and me

# Should stop this gallivanting

# And will you marry me?

# Well, I've got a brand-new combine harvester

# And I'll give you the key... #

Arr, you're a fine-looking woman,

and I can't wait to get my hands on your land! Ha-ha!

Oo-arr, oo-arr! I'll be on the breakfast programme tomorrow.

Do hope you'll join me. I'm going to leave you with a rather nice sound.

Came straight in this week - Candi Staton. See you for another Top Of The Pops. Bye-bye!

MUSIC: "Young Hearts Run Free" by Candi Staton

# What's the sense in sharing this one and only life

# Ending up just another lost and lonely wife?

# You count up the years

# And they will be filled with tears

# Love only breaks up

# To start over again

# You'll get the babies

# But you won't have your man

# While he's busy loving

# Every woman that he can

# Uh-huh... #
