12/04/1979 Top of the Pops

Hi, everyone. We're here again. It's got to be good.

It's the chart rundown and Three Degrees!

SONG: "The Runner" by The Three Degrees

# How many times have I felt down inside

# The need to be loved by you

# I wanted to show you how good it could be

# If you would only show a little interest in me

# But you run, you just won't show love

# That's the thing you're frightened of

# Oo-oo-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

# Oo-oo-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

# He's a runner... #

APPLAUSE

SONG: "Swingin' by Light Of The World

# If there's something deep inside us holding back your stride

# It's out of sight

# Yeah

# There must be something wrong

# To hold you back so long if the beat's right

# Yeah

# So get yourself right up

# And swing it to the top tonight

# Yeah

# If the music makes you groove

# Then see the way you move

# All right

# Yeah

# Cos we're dancing and swingin'

# We're dancing and swingin'

# Do you really want to groove?

# Then I know a place you'll move, yeah

# I wanna get down to the beat

# Let your feet get the beat, yeah

# Cos we're dancin' and swingin'

# We're dancing' and swingin'

# Dancin' and swingin'

# We're dancin' and swingin'

# If you feel you want to groove

# Then I know a place... #

APPLAUSE

You see, you've joined a party.

That's Light Of The World, and Swingin'.

Award-winner last night, on Top Of The Pops tonight.

At 14, Kate Bush - Wow.

# We're all alone on the stage tonight

# We've been told, we're not afraid of you

# We know all our lines so well, ah-ha

# We've said them so many times

# Time and time again

# Line and line again

# Ooh, yeah, you're amazing

# We think you're incredible

# You say we're fantastic

# But still we don't head the bill

# Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

# Unbelievable

# Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

# Unbelievable

# When the actor reaches his death

# You know it's not for real

# He just holds his breath

# But he always dives too soon

# Too fast to save himself

# He'll never make the screen

# He'll never make The Sweeney

# Or be that movie queen

# He's too busy hitting the Vaseline

# Ooh, yeah, you're amazing

# We think you are really cool

# We'd give you a part, my love

# But you'd have to play the fool

# Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

# Unbelievable

# Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

# Unbelievable

# We're all alone on the stage tonight

# We're all alone on the stage

# Tonight.

# Ooooh. #

APPLAUSE

That's great. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

Kate Bush, and she is just as lovely as you think she is, I tell you.

Hey! Hits after hits after hits. Showaddywaddy and Remember Then.

Silly thing - Legs & Co?! No way, Sex Pistols!

# What you see, you can get

# Nothing's free, nothing's said

# Don't be fooled by the signs

# Don't read in between the lines

# What you're gonna say

# What you're gonna do

# Now you've missed out once again

# But I thought you knew

# Oh, you silly thing

# You've really gone and done it now

# Oh, you silly thing

# You really gone and done it now

# Trouble here, trouble there

# People stop just to stare

# What's the use of wasting time?

# Just move on, leave 'em all behind

# What you're gonna say

# What you're gonna do

# Now you've missed out once again

# But I thought you knew

# Oh, you silly thing

# You've really gone and done it now

# Oh, you silly thing

# You've really gone and done it now

# Can you ever depend

# On someone you call a friend?

# When you see the naked eyes

# You don't even ask 'em why

# You don't even ask 'em why

# Oh, you silly thing... #

APPLAUSE

Hey, thank you, Legs!

And two hits in almost as many weeks, Sex Pistols and Silly Thing.

If I was Neil Diamond I'd stay Forever In Blue Jeans.

He's doing OK at 26.

# Money talks

# But it don't sing and dance And it can't walk

# And long as I can have you here with me

# I'd much rather be

# Forever in blue jeans, babe

# Maybe tonight

# Maybe tonight, by the fire All alone you and I

# Nothing around but the sound of my heart

# And your sighs

# Money talks

# But it don't sing and dance And it can't walk

# And long as I can have you here with me

# I'd much rather be

# Forever in blue jeans, babe

# And honey's sweet

# But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat

# And if you pardon me I'd like to say

# We're gonna do OK

# Forever in blue jeans, babe

# Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

# Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

# Here with me

# I'd much rather be

# Forever in blue jeans, babe

# And honey's sweet

# But it ain't nothing next to baby's treat

# And if you pardon me I'd like to say

# We'll do OK

# Forever in blue jeans, babe

# Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

# And long as I can have you here with me

# I'd much rather be

# Forever in blue jeans, babe... #

APPLAUSE

That's Neil Diamond and Forever In Blue Jeans. All in white, she is.

All in white. Do me a favour,

say hello to the fellas back home who are all on their tod.

Oh! I like it.

This is Racey - Some Girls Do, Some Girls Don't.

They're at number three and doing OK.

# Some girls will, some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of lovin'

# And some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# So here I am in front of you

# Not really knowing what to do

# My heart is feeling something new

# Nervously I turn away from you

# I see those looks you're sending me

# Is this the way it's meant to be

# It's something we should talk about

# Just give me time to work it out

# Some girls will, some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# I find your company to be

# Something completely new to me

# Now that I know you socially

# Obviously I'll fall heavily

# I've seen those looks you're sending me

# This is the way it's meant to be

# There's nothing left to talk about

# Oh, how I wish you'd work it out

# Some girls will, some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# I don't know what I'm gonna do

# Some girls will, some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# So here I am in front of you

# Not really knowing what to do

# My heart is feeling something new

# Nervously I turn away from you

# Some girls will, some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of lovin' and some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# Some girls will, some girls... #

APPLAUSE

Terrific. Good-time music.

That's Racey, this week at number three, and Some Girls.

For me this record is absolutely magic.

It's the brass that really turns me on. It's Supertramp, 24.

The Logical Song.

# When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

# A miracle

# Oh, it was beautiful, magical

# And all the birds in the trees Well, they'd be singing so happily

# Oh, joyfully

# Oh, playfully watching me

# But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible

# Logical

# Oh, responsible, practical

# And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

# Oh, clinical

# Oh, intellectual, cynical

# There are times when all the world's asleep

# The questions run too deep

# For such a simple man

# Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

# I know it sounds absurd

# But please tell me who I am

# Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical

# A liberal

# Oh, fanatical, criminal

# Won't you sign up your name

# We'd like to feel you're acceptable

# Respectable

# Oh, presentable, a vegetable

# Oh, take, take, take it, yeah

# But at night When all the world's asleep

# The questions run so deep

# For such a simple man

# Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

# I know it sounds absurd

# But please tell me who I am

# Who I am

# Who I am

# Who I am. #

APPLAUSE

Oh, terrific!

That's Supertramp and The Logical Song.

And this is Mr James Pursey, no less,

with Sham 69 and Questions And Answers.

# Soon as we are born

# We're told what to say and do

# Yes, no, you can't But you can and you know why

# And arguments, your statements

# Just say, look, I'm alive

# Will help you to survive

# So think before you do what they say

# It's your life so go your own way

# Questions and answers, honesty, lies

# Yes, no, you can't But you can and you know why

# Questions and answers, honesty, lies

# Yes, no, you can't But you can and you know why

# There's no-one that can tell you

# What you can and cannot be

# The world was made for all of us

# For you and, yes, for me

# So think before you do what they say

# It's your life so go your own way

# Questions and answers, honesty, lies

APPLAUSE

Oh, that's so good. That's Candidate and I Don't Wanna Lose You.

I'm not going to lose you, or you, or you, and we are going to

have Sister Sledge and He's The Greatest Dancer at number six.

# Oh, what, wow

# He's the greatest dancer

# Oh, what, wow

# That I've ever seen

# Oh, what, wow

# He's the greatest dancer

# Oh, what, wow

# One night in a disco

# On the outskirts of Frisco

# I was cruisin' with my favourite gang

# The place was so boring

# Filled with out-of-towners touring

# I knew that it wasn't my thing

# I really wasn't caring

# But I felt my eyes staring

# At a guy who stuck out in the crowd

# He had the kind of body

# That would shame Adonis

# And a face that would make any man cry

# Oh, what, wow

# He's the greatest dancer

# Oh, what, wow

# That I've ever seen

# Ooh

# Oh, what, wow

# He's the greatest dancer

# Oh, what, wow

# The champion of dance

# His moves would put you in a trance

# And he never leaves the disco alone

# Arrogance but not conceit

# As a man he's complete

# My creme de la creme

# Please take me home

# He wears the finest clothes

# The best designers, heaven knows

# Ooh, from his head down to his toes

# Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci

# He looks like a still

# That man is dressed to kill

# Oh, what, wow

# He's the greatest dancer

# Oh, what, wow

# That I've ever seen

# I've ever seen

# Oh, what, wow

# He's the greatest dancer

# Oh, what, wow

# That I've ever seen. #

APPLAUSE

Hey, take me any time.

Sister Sledge at number six, and He's The Greatest Dancer.

It could be you. Right.

Time to stop posing and to think about this week's number one.

# There's a fog along the horizon

# A strange glow in the sky

# And nobody seems to know where it goes

# And what does it mean

# Oh, is it a dream?

# Bright eyes, burning like fire

# Bright eyes How can you close and fail?

# How can the light that burned so brightly

# Suddenly burn so pale?

# Bright eyes... #

It's brand-new, it's number one.

It's Art Garfunkel and Bright Eyes, from the movie Watership Down.

And that is it from us all here at Top Of The Pops.

It's Wings, Goodnight Tonight. Bye-bye!

# Don't get too tired for love

# Don't let it end

# Oooh

# Don't say good night to love

# It may never be the same again

# Don't say it

# Don't say it

# Say anything but don't say good night tonight

# Don't say it

# Don't say it

# Say anything but don't say good night tonight

# Don't say it

# Don't say it

# You can say anything but don't say good night tonight

# Don't say it
