15/07/1982 Top of the Pops

Hi, welcome to the party, another edition of Top Of The Pops.

On the show tonight we've got David Essex, Cliff Richard,

we've got Visage, Japan, Dexy's and many others.

But for starters, Hot Chocolate with...

# It started with a kiss

# In the back row of a classroom

# How could I resist

# The aroma of your perfume?

# You and I were inseparable

# It was love at first sight

# You made me promise to marry you

# I made you promise to be my wife

# But then

# You were only eight years old

# And I had just about turned nine

# Just about turned nine

# I thought that life was always good

# I thought you always would be mine

# It started with a kiss

# Never thought it would come to this

# It started with a kiss

# Never thought it would come to this

# I remember every little thing

# Like fighting in the playground

# Cos some good-looking boy

# Had started to hang around

# That boy hurt me so bad

# But I was happy cos you cried, still

# I couldn't help but notice

# That new distant look in your eyes

# And then

# When you were 16

# And I had just turned 17

# Just turned 17

# I couldn't hold on to your love

# I couldn't hold on to my dreams

# It started with a kiss

# Never thought it would come to this

# It started with a kiss

# Never thought it would come to this

# You don't remember me, do you?

# You don't remember me, do you?

# Walking down the street

# Came the star of my love story

# And my heart began to beat so fast

# So clear was my memory

# I heard my voice cry out her name

# And as she looked

# And looked away

# I felt so hurt I felt so small

# And it was all that I could say

# You don't remember me, do you?

# You don't remember me, do you?

# You don't remember me, do you?

# You don't remember me, do you?

# It started with a kiss

# Never thought it would come to this

# It started with a kiss

# Never thought it would come to this. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

There's a new number one to look forward to on Top Of The Pops,

so stick around with us. Right now, let's go back to Cliff.

# Came a time in my life

# I had to be free

# From all the lies

# That used to be me

# And the only way out

# Is the only way in

# And it's you

# I've been wasting my time

# But not any more

# I've been through the maze

# And it lead to your door

# And the only way out

# Is the only way in

# And it's you

# I spent a lot of time at the crossroads

# Getting that lonely feeling inside

# Suddenly you stopped the rain

# You changed the view

# Now everywhere's leading to you

# Let's get this thing going

# Let's move it along

# Let me do all the things

# I've been missing so long

# Cos the only way out

# Is the only way in

# And it's you

# Oh-oh

# I spent a lot of time at the crossroads

# Getting that lonely feeling inside

# Suddenly you made the rescue

# You pulled me through

# Now let me do something for you

# Let's get this thing going

# Let's move it along

# Let's do all the things

# I've been missing so long

# And the only way out

# Is the only way in

# And it's you

# Yeah, the only way out

# Is the only way in

# And it's you

# Yeah, the only way out

# Is the only way in

# And it's you

# Only way out

# Is the only way in

# The only way out

# Is the only way in

# Ahhh-ah

-# The only way in... #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It's been some time, but welcome back, David Essex.

Me And My Girl (Night-clubbing) is his new hit.

Now, the public demand was so much for Japan's release,

I Second That Emotion,

that it's been proved, and in the chart at 20.

# Maybe you want to give me kisses sweet

# But only for one night and no repeat

# And maybe you'll go away and never call

# And a taste of honey is worse than none at all

# Oh, little girl

# In that case, I don't want no part

# I do believe that would only break my heart

# So if you feel like loving me

# If you've got that notion

# I second that emotion

# So if you feel like giving me

# A lifetime of devotion

# I second that emotion

# Maybe you think that love will tie you down

# And you don't seem to like to hang around

# Or maybe you think that love was made for fools

# So it makes you wise to break the rules

# Oh-oh

# In that case, I don't want no part

# I do believe that would only break my heart

# So if you feel like loving me

# If you've got that notion

# I second that emotion

# So if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion

# I second that emotion

# Oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Some of their back material is truly good,

and that one is at 20.

I Second That Emotion, from Japan.

It's been a long time, also, since Dexy's were on Top Of The Pops.

They've got a new LP coming out in two weeks' time,

it's called Too-Rye-Ay,

and from it their hit single, Come On Eileen.

# Come on, Eileen!

# Poor old Johnny Ray

# Sounded sad upon the radio

# He moved a million hearts in mono

# Our mothers cried

# Sang along

# Who'd blame them?

-# You've grown

-You've grown up

-# So grown

-So grown up

# Now I must say more than ever

# Come on, Eileen

# Too-ra-loo-ra

# Too-ra-loo-rye ay

# And we can sing just like our fathers

# Come on, Eileen

-# Oh, I swear

-What he means

# At this moment

# You mean everything

# You in that dress

# My thoughts, I confess

# Verge on dirty

# Ah, come on, Eileen

# Come on, Eileen!

# These people round here

# Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces

# So resigned to what their fate is

-# But not us

-No, never

-# No, not us

-No, never

# We are far too young and clever

# Remember

# Too-ra-loo-ra

# Too-ra-loo-rye ay

# And you'll hum this tune forever

# Come on, Eileen

-# Oh, I swear

-What he means

# Ah, come on let's

# Take off everything

# That pretty red dress

-# Eileen

-Tell him yes

# Ah, come on let's

# Ah, come on, Eileen

# Come on

# Eileen, ta-loo-rye ay

# Come on

# Eileen, taloo-rye ay

-# Now you're full grown

-Too-ra

-# Now you have shown

-Too-ra-taloo-ra

# Oh, Eileen

-# Say, come on, Eileen

-Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-ay

# These things they are real and I know

-# How you feel

-Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-ay

-# Now I must say more than ever

-Too-ra too-ra-taloo-ra

# Things round here have changed

-# I say, too-ra-loo-ra

-Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-ay

-# Too-ra-loo-rye-ay

-Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-ay

# Too-ra too-ra-toloo-ra

# Come on, Eileen

-# Oh, I swear

-What he means

# At this moment

# You mean everything

# You in that dress

-# My thoughts

-I confess

# Verge on dirty

# Ah, come on, Eileen

# Ah, come on, Eileen

-# Oh, I swear

-What he means

# At this moment... #

# We're giving up on all the emptiness

# I fill it up with your sweet love beside me

# Ain't no fun to be a rolling stone inside

# You buy the feeling and you pay with tears

# For what it matters you flow with the motion

# Then out of nowhere there's a full moon rising

# And it's mine

# And every

# Every moment is the history we make

# And more

# We got a legacy of understanding

# I can love you better

# But don't let your heart stop beating in time

# Don't take me below the danger level

# Caught up in the middle of this misery

# Don't let me die

# And I warn you if you let your

# Heart stop beating in time

# You'll make it a fatal combination

# I won't ever find another love like yours

# No more

# Got to get closer

# Got to be in sight

# You make it heaven to breathe with you, woman

# Don't you get lonely in the midnight hour like me?

# And there's an angel that I follow on the wind

# And more

# Within a universe of undiscovered eyes

# We found each other

# So don't let your heart stop beating in time

# Don't take me below the danger level

# Caught up in the middle of this misery

# Oh, baby, don't let it be, no

# Save my soul

# I don't want to be in no chains that hold

# Gotta be a wild new world out there

# Is a plan I don't want to be no

# One night stand

# Gonna be alive for you

# Down here is the love

# I can hold out in my hand

# Can you feel it?

# I'm nothing if you let your

# Heart stop beating in time

# Don't take us below the danger level

# Caught up in the middle of this misery

# Don't let me die

# And I warn you if you let your

# Heart stop beating in time

# You'll make it a fatal combination... #

Another track off the LP The Anvil. It's Visage and Night Train.

# Night train

# Night train

# The message

# In a faded envelope

# In a vice-like grip

# The passage

# Of a carriage in the dark

# On a foreign trip

# The image

# Of a figure in the trees

# In the evening rain

# The knowledge

# Of a stranger in your midst

# On a speeding train

# Again

# Night train

# Night train

# Night train

# Night train

# Night train

# Night train

# He senses

# Perfume lingers in the night

# Smell of French cologne

# He watches

# As a hand turns down the light

# Leaves him all alone

# Again

# He whispers

# In a dim lit empty room

# But it's all in vain

# He laughs

# When he reads the note he finds

# On the midnight train

# Again

# Night train

# Night train

# Night train. #

Hi, everyone on Top Of The Pops!

I want to thank everyone in London, England, all over,

for making Fame such a success.

Thank you very much.

Hi. My name is Valerie Landsburg and I play Doris Schwartz,

Hi. I'm Lee Curreri. I think you should buy the Kids From Fame album.

I have a tune on it and I get mechanical royalties
