CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Pete Burns and Dead or Alive. I'm delighted about that actually

getting into the charts, after three months on release,

Spin Me Round. Here's a song dedicated to Marvin Gaye

and to Jackie Wilson. It's the Commodores - Nightshift.

APPLAUSE

-# Marvin

-Marvin

# He was a friend of mine

# And he could sing a song

# His heart in every line

-# Marvin

-Marvin, Marvin

# Sang of the joy and pain

# He opened up our minds

# And I still can hear him say

# "Aw, talk to me, so you can see

# "What's going on"

# Say you will

# Sing your songs

-# For evermore

-Ever more

# Gonna be some sweet sounds

# Coming down the nightshift

# I bet you're singing proud

# Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

# Gonna be a long night

# It's gonna be all right

# On the nightshift

# You found another home

# I know you're not alone

# On the nightshift

# Oh

# You found another home

# I know you're not alone

# On the nightshift

-# Jackie

-Jackie

# Hey, what you doing now?

# It seems like yesterday

# When we were working out

# Jackie Jackie

# Oh, you set the world on fire On fire

# You came and gifted us

# Your love it lifted us

# Higher and higher

# Keep it up And we'll be there

# At your side

# Oh, say you will

# Sing your songs for evermore Evermore, evermore

# Gonna be some sweet sounds

# Coming down

# On the nightshift

# I bet you're singing proud

# Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd

-# Gonna be a long night

-Gonna be a long night

# It's gonna be all right

# On the nightshift

# You found another home

-Oh, yeah

-# It's gonna be a long night

-It's gonna be, oh-oh-oh

-# It's gonna be all right

-All right

# On the nightshift... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Commodores and Nightshift.

Watch out for a really good album, it's due out in April,

it's called Virgins And Philistines.

It's got this on it - The Colourfield - Thinking Of You.

APPLAUSE

# I guess I kinda sorta know

# I oughta be thinking of you

# But a friendship's built on trust

# And that's something you never do

# Well, who knows, maybe tomorrow

# We can share each other's sorrow

# And compare our graveside manner

# As we wave our lonely banners

# If you ever think of me I'll be thinking of you

# If you decide to change your view

# I'm thinking of you

# You can walk away

# From loneliness Any time you choose

# And you're the sort of person that hasn't anything to lose

# But who cares Maybe tomorrow

# You could lead and I could follow

# So walk where angels fear to tread

# For everything you've ever wanted

# And if you ever think of me I'll be thinking of you

# If you can spare an hour or two

# You'll know what to do

# I could be the one thing there

# In your hour of need

# So if you decide to change your views

# I'm thinking of you

# Let's roll the dice

# In a fool's paradise

# Share moonlit nights

# Breathing nothing but lies

# Let's open our eyes

# We should take a bus

# To somewhere else

# To something new

# Thank God we're alive

# And bite off more than we can chew

# Do the things that just don't matter

# Laugh while others look in anger

# Stumble over four-leaf clovers

# And say goodbye to lonely banners

# If you ever think of me I'll be thinking of you

# Through thick and thin I bear it and grin and never given in

# I could be the one thing left in your hour of need

# So if you decide to change your views

# I'm thinking of you

# Thinking of you

# Thinking of you

# Thinking of you. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

One of the biggest live bands at the moment has got to be

Killing Joke. In fact, you can go and see them tonight.

They're in Hanley.

But they're here, at 24 in the charts, this is wonderful,

a Love Like Blood.

# We must play our lives like soldiers in the field

# The life is short I'm running faster all the time

# Strength and beauty destined to decay

# So cut the rose in full bloom

# Till the fearless come

# And the act is done

# A love like blood

# A love like blood

# Till the fearless come

# And the act is done

# A love like blood

# A love like blood

# Every day through all frustration and despair

# Love and hate fight with burning hearts

# Till legends live and man is god again

# And self-preservation rules the day no more

# We must dream of promised lands and fields

# That never fade in season

# As we move towards no end

# We learn to die

# Red tears are shed on grey

# Till the fearless come

# And the act is done

# A love like blood

# A love like blood

# Till the fearless come

# And the act is done

# A love like blood

# A love like blood

# Till the fearless come

# And the act is done

# A love like blood

# A love like blood

# Till the fearless come... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's a Love Like Blood and Killing Joke.

Right, what we will do now is look at those singles that

can be called Top 40 breakers cos they're the ones to watch

for next week on Top Of The Pops.

Here, for example, Bill Sharpe of Shakatak and Gary Numan.

They've got together out of the discos

and into the charts with Change Your Mind.

# Change your mind

# No-one ever plays the game, game, game

# Change your mind

# Give them what you can't defend

-# Ooh

-Change your mind

# Think it up and start again

# Why can't you reconsider?

# Listen if you can

# Take familiar giver

# Reject me if you dare

# Give me what I'm asking

# And save it all for me

# Love that's everlasting

# Is how it's meant to be... #

# Thought I knew her... #

Sharpe and Numan are a new combination. Here's an old one.

Kool & The Gang have been around for years.

They've got a new single called Misled.

# Always searching for adventure

# Like Pandora's box

# Misled

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

# Without her

# Woohoo!

# Baby, baby

# What's your claim to fame?

# Got me out of bed

# Heard you call my name

# What's this crazy place you want to take me to?

# Tell me, what's the price if I go with you?

# My heart

# My soul

# My love

# Is that the goal?

# It's a thrill

# Then I will

# Hey, misled... #

Ex-Eagle Don Henley had an American hit with The Boys Of Summer,

and much against the better advice

of a lot of the British pop publications,

but certainly no surprise at Top Of The Pops,

The Boys Of Summer is a hit here.

# Empty streets The sun goes down alone

# I'm driving by your house

# Though I know you're not home

# But I can see you

# Your brown skin shining in the sun

# You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby

# I can tell you

# My love for you will still be strong

# After the boys of summer have gone. #

The breakers. OK, if you have taste,

you will appreciate that Meat Is Murder

is the best album around at the moment.

It'll be number one next week. From it, the Smiths - How Soon Is Now?

# I am the son

# And the heir

# Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

# I am the son and heir

# Of nothing in particular

# You shut your mouth

# How can you say

# I go about things the wrong way?

# I am human and I need to be loved

# Just like everybody else does

# I am the son

# And the heir

# Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar

# I am the son and heir

# Of nothing in particular

# You shut your mouth

# How can you say

# I go about things the wrong way?

# I am human and I need to be loved

# Just like everybody else does

# There's a club if you'd like to go

# You could meet somebody who really loves you

# So you go and you stand on your own

# And you leave on your own

# And you go home and you cry

# And you want to die. #

APPLAUSE

# Nothing is so good it lasts eternally

# Perfect situations must go wrong

# But this has never yet prevented me

# Wanting far too much for far too long

# Looking back

# I could've played it differently

# Won a few more moments

# Who can tell

# But it took time to understand the man

# Now at least I know I know him well

-# Wasn't it good?

-Oh, so good

-# Wasn't he fine?

-Oh, so fine

# Isn't it madness

# He can't be mine

# But in the end he needs a little bit more than me

# More security

# He needs his fantasy and freedom

# I know him so well

# No-one in your life is with you constantly

# No-one is completely on your side

# And though I move my world to be with him

# Still the gap between him is too much

# Looking back I could've

-# Played it differently

-Played things another way

# Learned about the man before I fell

# I was just a little careless

# But I was ever

-# So much younger then

-Now at least I know him well

-# Now at least

-I know I know him well

-# Wasn't it good?

-Oh, so good

-# Wasn't he fine?

-Oh, so fine

-# Isn't it madness?

-He won't be mine

# Didn't I know

# How it would go?

# If I knew from the start

# Why am I falling apart?

# Wasn't it good?

# Wasn't he fine?

# Isn't it madness?

# He won't be mine

# But in the end he needs a little bit more than me

# More security

# He needs his fantasy and freedom

# I know him so well

# It took time to understand him

# I know him so

# We-ee-ee-ll. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Or the way you comb your hair

# The diamonds that are there

-Personality

# That captivated me

# See, baby
