That's The Rezillos and a song appropriately named after us

on Top Of The Pops.

Thanks for coming along here tonight and joining us,

and this is Foreigner with a song called Cold As Ice.

# You're as cold as ice

# You're willing to sacrifice our love. #

Can you hear me?

# You never take advice

# Some day you'll pay the price I know

# I've seen it before, it happens all the time

# You're closing the door, you leave the world behind

# You're digging for gold

# Yet throwing away

# A fortune in feelings but someday you'll pay

# Oh, oh

# You're as cold as ice

# You're willing to sacrifice our love. #

Talking about you and me, my baby.

# You want paradise

# Someday you'll pay the price I know

# I've seen it before, it happens all the time

# Closing the door, you leave the world behind

# You're digging for gold Yet throwing away

# A fortune in feelings but someday you'll pay. #

Yeah!

# Cold....

# As...

# Ice You know that you are

# Cold...

The next young lady you're going to see on TV is Annie.

Annie's with Renaissance. Renaissance have got a hit,

and they're looking at those Northern Lights.

# Destination outward-bound

# I turn to see the Northern Lights behind the wing

# Horizons seem to beckon me

# Learned how to cry too young So now I live to sing

# The Northern Lights are in my mind

# They guide me back to you

# Horizons seem to beckon me

# Learned how to cry too young So now I live to sing

# Know it's hard away from you

# Travelling roads and passing through

# It's not for money and it's not for fame

# I just can't explain

# Sometimes it's lonely

# Marking the space between the days

Early hours pass away

# I sing to you of Northern Lights

# I sing for you of Northern nights

# Past or future, here or there

# Shelter comes in words from you

# So talk to me

# I hear your voice, it comforts me

# In morning dreams I take your hand

# You walk with me

# The Northern Lights are in my mind

# They guide me back to you

# Peace enfolds the still night air

# Home again I look for you and find you there

# Destination homeward now

# Take the easy way, bring me down

# Making the hard way now I see

# Hard to be really free

# I'm missing you near me

# Marking the space between the days

Early hours pass away

# I sing to you of Northern Lights

# I sing for you of Northern nights

# The Northern Lights are in my mind

# They guide me back to you

# The Northern nights are in my eyes

# They guide me back to you

# The Northern Lights are in my mind... #

APPLAUSE

That's just the thing to have on a Thursday evening.

That's Renaissance and Northern Lights. You have been ever jilted?

Yeah, and me. Here's Jilted John.

# I've been going out with a girl

# Her name is Julie

# But last night she said to me

# When we were watching telly

# This is what she said

# She said, "Listen, John, I love you

# "But there's this bloke I fancy

# "I don't want to two-time you

# "So it's the end for you and me"

# "Who's this bloke?", I asked her

# "Gordon", she replied

# "Not that puff", I said dismayed

# "Yes, but he's no puff", she cried

# "He's more of a man than you'll ever be"

# Here we go, two, three, four

# I was so upset that I cried

# All the way to the chip shop

# When I came out there was Gordon

# Standing at the bus stop

And guess who was with him?

# Yeah, Julie

# And they were both laughing at me

# Oh, she is cruel and heartless

# To pack me for Gordon

# Just cos he's better looking than me

# Just cos he's cool and trendy

# But I know he's a moron

# Gordon is a moron

# Gordon is a moron

# Gordon is a moron

Here we go, two, three, four,

# Oh, she's a slag and he's a creep

# She's a tart, he's very cheap

# She is a slut, he thinks he's tough

# She is a bitch, he is a puff

# Yeah, yeah, it's not fair

# Yeah, yeah, it's not fair

# I'm so upset

# I'm so upset, I'm so upset

# Yeah, yeah

# I ought to smash his face in

# Yeah, but he's bigger than me, isn't he?

# I know, I'll get my mate Barry to hit him

# He'd flatten him. #

APPLAUSE

The now very famous two Johns and You're The One That I want.

We're 750 editions old, we are, and we're really happy that

you've joined us for every one of those, perhaps.

And if you haven't, stay with us

cos we're going to be back next week.

In fact, don't forget that on Top Of The Pops we've got

the highest rising record to play us out and it's The Commodores

and Three Times A Lady. Till next week, bye-bye.

# For the times that you've given me

# The memories are all in my mind

# And now that we've come

# To the end of our rainbow

# There's something I must say out loud

# You're once, twice

# Three times a lady

# And I love you

# Yes, you're once, twice

# Three times a lady

# And I love you

# I love you

# When we are together

# The moments I cherish

# With every beat of my heart

# To touch you

# To hold you

# To feel you

# To need you

# There's nothing to keep us apart. #
