APPLAUSE

# Tick, tock, tick, tock

# Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

# Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

# Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

# I'm not disconnected

# I'm not unaware

# I'm in one place at one time

# I'm neither here nor there

# I'm hooked to the mainstream, tuned in to the world

# Plugged into my surroundings, not out on a limb

# I'm thinking in a straight line

# I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine

# My heart is beating oh-so fast, I feel the hours crashing

# Now my mind beats time

# Like clockwork

# And I think in sync

# Like clockwork

# Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

# Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

# She's done away with emotion

# She sees things clearly now

# She says she sees it all from her room

# And it looks so small from her room

-# It's all right

-# It's all right

-# It's all right

-# It's all right

# I'm on your side for a while

# She thinks that time is a concept by which we measure our age

# She wants to say it again but she don't have time

# Because her mind beats time

# Like clockwork

# And she thinks in sync

# Like clockwork

# Count the hours, count the months and the minutes

# We make the most of what we've got

# That's the ticket, my, my, my, my, my, my

# I stayed in that room a long, long time

# And watched the seasons gliding by

# And hey, what's the matter?

# We've got time, lots of time

-# It's all right

-# It's all right

-# It's all right

-# It's all right

# I'm on your side for a while

# We wind up, we slow down

# We speed up, move around or we maybe over-wind

# Because our minds beat time

# Like clockwork

# And we think in sync... # APPLAUSE

A fabulous record there from The Boomtown Rats.

That's a number called Like Clockwork. That is at number six this week.

We have a fabulous show lined up for you. Don't you dare drift away from Top Of The Pops,

otherwise you might miss Suzi Quatro with The Race Is On.

# Go ahead and laugh at me

# Try to be the man you ought to be

# Baby, it's not hard to see what's going on

# Well, maybe we should celebrate

# Drink champagne, why should we wait?

# Why don't we ask some friends around?

# They can help us play this game we found

# Let's bring everybody down

# Will we ever be ready for what we're heading for?

# Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on

# Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on

# What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong?

# You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on

# Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

# Well, surprise, surprise, a few more lies

# Or do we simply call them alibis?

# This life we lead ain't fooling either one of us

# And while we're having so much fun

# Let's not forget the lonely ones

# Slowly falling out of love

# This game we play can be so rough

# Now maybe we've gone far enough

# But are you sure you know just what we're heading for?

# Here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on

# Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on

# What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong?

# You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on

# Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

# Ohh, here we stand like a couple of fools and the race is on

# Hand in hand as we break the rules and the race is on

# What's the cost to the one who lost when the race goes wrong?

# You may say why begin when we both can't win, but the race goes on

# Hand in hand like a couple of fools and the race is on

# The race is on

# The race is on

# The race is on

# The race is on

# The race is on # APPLAUSE

There you go, she gets more beautiful every time you see her.

Mind you, so do I. That's Suzi Quatro, The Race Is On.

This is the sound of Andrew Gold, How Can This Be Love?

# How can this be love if it makes us cry?

# How can this be love if it makes us cry?

# I thought love was everything

# I believed in all the good things

# It would bring

# But lately we have hurt each other bad

# Yeah, and I'm afraid to lose

# The loving that we had

# I tried to make it good

# I did the best I could

# Oh, how can this be love if it makes us cry?

# How can this be love if it makes us cry?

# I ask my mama what to do

# Is it just a passing thing

# We're going through?

# She said, baby, don't be blue

# If you get through this you know

# Your love is true

# Who-o-oa

# I tried to make it good

# I did the best I could

# Whoa, how can this be love if it makes us cry?

# How can this be love if it makes us cry?

# I tried to make it good

# I did the best I could

# We cried and cried, we tried and tried

# We did the best we could

# Whoa, how can this be love if it makes us cry?

# Whoa, how can this be love if it makes us cry?

# Whoa, who-o-oa

# How can this be love if it makes us cry?

# How can this be love if it makes us cry?

# Tell me, mama, whoo

Here's a guy, it's his first time on Top Of The Pops.

Not his last, I wouldn't have thought. Steve Voice and On The Shelf.

# You took my love and you threw it away

# Gave you my heart and you took it that day

# Took-took-took-took it away, took-took-took-took it away

# And I want it back

# Went for a drive just the other day

# I left my car and they towed it away

# T-t-t-towed it away, t-t-t-towed it away

# And I want it back

# I'm like a dog without a bone

# I'm like a house that's not a home

# I'm like a watch that nobody wants to wind

# I'm like a lock without a key

# Nobody wants to lean on me

# I'm so lonely, lonely

# Without you

# Back

# On the shelf am I

# Baby, back

# On the shelf am I

# Went to a party cos you said you would go

# I sat around but you didn't show

# No, no, no, you didn't show

# No, no, no, you didn't show

# Did you?

# I ring your house, I don't get no reply

# Well, I don't know, I think you're telling me lies

# T-t-t-telling me lies

# T-t-t-telling me lies

# I'm like a dog without a bone

Talking about really good songs, let's go back into the charts.

Here's one I know you like cos you put it at number 23 this week.

Bob Marley And The Wailers, Satisfy My Soul.

# Don't you rock my boat

# Satisfy my soul in the morning

# Satisfy my soul in the evening

At number 23 this week, that was Bob Marley And The Wailers and Satisfy My Soul.

Right now on Top Of The Pops, a beautiful new song from Renaissance called 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

# You 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

# They guide me back to you APPLAUSE

That's Renaissance there and Northern Lights.

Lovely summer sounding with all this summer weather, I don't think.

Here comes The Smurf Song and Father Abraham and Legs and Co, as well.

# Where are you all coming from?

# From Smurfland where we belong

# Are you talking just like us?

# No, we Smurf, it's much less fuss

# Do you do things that we don't dare?

# We are real Smurfs so we don't care

# This is a song with a nice refrain

# Yes, we will sing it once again

# Flute Smurf begins

# Yes, sing along

# La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

# La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

# Can you crawl through a water tap?

# Yes, we Smurf through a water tap

# And climb through a small keyhole?

# Yes, and through a small keyhole

# Can you play a tune on a flute?

# Smurfing the flute we think is cute

# Do Smurfs like to dance and croon?

# Yes, but only to this tune

# La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

-# La-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

That's lovely, isn't it? That's the sound of Father Abraham. Still at number two, can't get to number one.

That's one I know our furry, tiny little friends like.

Here's one that I love, Lindisfarne.

# I've travelled the land

# With a guitar in my hand

# And an eye ever open for some fun

# I've made some mistakes

# Had my share of the breaks

# Seen the boys on the make and on the bum

# Run for home

# Run as fast as I can

# Whoa, running man

# Running for home

# Run for home

# Run as fast as I can

# Whoa, running man

# Running for home

# I've seen all the frowns

# On the faces of the clowns

# And the downs that they take just to be free

# And I've seen all the girls

# And their pretty frocks and curls

# But they don't mean a lot

# To me

# Run for home

# Run as fast as I can

# Whoa, running man

# Running for home

# I've been to the places

# In town where the faces

# Hang round just to stare at each other

# I've looned with them

# Screamed at the moon

# Behaved like a buffoon

# But I soon discovered

# Run for home

# Run as fast as I can

# Whoa, running man

# Running for home

# Run for home

# Run as fast as I can

# Whoa, running man... APPLAUSE

There it is, number 12 this week, Lindisfarne and Run For Home.

Life is just one big holiday when you watch Top Of The Pops

and to prove it, we're going to send you on a voyage right now,

From East To West, and it's at number 30 this week.

# Get your bag, put on your boots and fly to the sun

# Hitch a ride, don't be afraid, that's living for fun

# A voyage

# Time is running out so fast, so much to be done

# Try to find your way and let's go dancing along

# A voyage

# Crazy boys and girls will teach you lyrical songs

# A voyage APPLAUSE

Voyage, number 30 this week, and that's From East To West.

Here's a group, it's their very first record, first time on Top Of The Pops,

Racey and Baby It's You.

# I was lost and at an end

# Seemed so lonely, really needed a friend

# Why should I pretend?

# I couldn't think, I had to see

# If Southern Comfort comforts me

# I could be free

# But where would I be?

# And you came along

# And you sang your song

# And you made my day

# In your special way

# And I knew, yes, I knew

# Baby, it's you

# Baby, it's you

# You know that it's you I'm thinking of

# Baby, it's you

# I tried my best to get along

# Make some friends but something always went wrong
