# Can you feel it Can you feel it

# Can you feel it! #

Hi. Welcome to this week's edition of Top Of The Pops.

Got stacks of live bands,

got a great film featuring Spandau Ballet,

and we've also got The Beat doing their brand-new release.

We've got some artists who've flown in specially for the show

from Tokyo and Portugal, and one or two surprises.

And for starters, no better than Bad Manners.

# It's been a week now since you went away

# I hope that you have gone to stay

# It's not that I don't like you

# You're all right

# I just like to run my life

# It's just a feeling

# My flat was nice and tidy

# Now it's not

# I just don't seem to care a lot

# I feel so good I really feel at home

# To sit and whistle on my own

# It's just a feeling

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's what the fun is all about on Top Of The Pops.

Bad Manners, Just A Feeling,

and Dougie looking just like a civil servant with a carnation.

Little bit out of touch there.

Right, it's Musclebound from Spandau Ballet.

# We're building fires that will burn until morning

# The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us

# Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin

# Strong are the bonds

# That we make

# We feel the steam as it rises around us

# Up from the soil that is cracking its back

# Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin

# Strong are the bonds that we sing

# Work till you're musclebound All night long

# Work till you're musclebound All night long

# Gotta work till you're musclebound All night long

# Gotta work till you're musclebound All night long

# We're building fires that will burn until morning

# The smell of books and hot stone surrounds us

# Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin

# Strong are the bonds

# That we make

# To feel the pulsing from chanter to mountain

# Down through the vein and into the grain

# Strong is the shoulder that moves to the time

# Here is the land it can break

# Work till you're musclebound All night long

# Work till you're musclebound All night long

# Gotta work till you're musclebound All night long

# Gotta work till you're musclebound All night long

# Ha! Tough is the leather that's strapped to my skin

# Strong are the bonds that we sing

# Work till you're musclebound All night long

# Work till you're musclebound All night long

# Gotta work till you're musclebound All night long

# Work till you're musclebound All night long. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Spandau Ballet, a double A-side -

Musclebound, you just heard, and Glow is on the other side.

That's hit 18 and now it's Girlschool, Hit And Run.

# I was out in the cold

# Alone in the night

# How could I carry on? Felt so empty inside

# All you gave me were promises

# Nothing better than lies

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Told me how it could be

# Showed me how to believe

# But I just didn't realise it was all in my dreams

# All you gave me were promises

# Nothing better than lies

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# But I know better now

# I've found another way

# One thing I know for sure

# I'm gonna live for today

# Say goodbye to the bad times

# Now I'm free on my own

# Say goodbye to the bad times

# Now I'm free on my own

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

# Hit and run

-# Hit and run

-Hit and run, hit and run

-# Hit and run

-Hit and run, hit and run... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Girlschool without Motorhead

and their new hit single called Hit And Run.

Now we go for a bit of a good thing -

a little bit of disco.

The gentleman in name is Sugar Minott. Here he is.

# Ooh, see that girl

# She does something to my chemistry

# And when I'm close, I'm sure

# She raise my temperature by three degrees

# Every day, every day

# In every way she makes my motor purr

# And I reciprocate

# My life I dedicate to loving her

# For we've got a good thing going

# A real good thing going

# Yes, that girl and me

# We've got it good so let's get it on

# Let's get it on Let's get it on, girl

# So we've got a good thing going

# A real good thing going

# Yes, that girl and me

# Mmm

# And I don't have to ask

# I know that it's gonna last eternally

# Yeah, baby, we've got it

# We've got it good

# We've got it good

# So, so let's get it on

# So we've got a good thing going

# A real good thing going

# Yes, that girl and me

# And I don't have to ask

# I know that it's gonna last eternally

# Yes, we've got a good thing going... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sugar Minott is hit seven and We've Got A Good Thing Going.

We sure have on Top Of The Pops tonight

because for their debut on the show,

and also having just finished a national tour,

it's Department S with a song called Is Vic There?

# The night is young The mood is mellow

# And there's music in my ears

# Say, is Vic there?

# I hear ringing in the air so I answer the phone

# A voice comes over clear

# Say, is Vic there?

# Oh

# Ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

# The night is young The mood is mellow

# And there's music in my ears

# Say, is Vic there?

# I hear ringing in the air so I answer the phone

# A voice comes over clear

# Say, is Vic there?

# The night is young The mood is mellow

# And there's music in my ears

# Is Vic there? #

-PHONE RINGS PHONE:

-'Hello.'

# Is Vic there? #

-'This is a recorded message.'

-# Is Vic there? #

'Please leave your number after the tone. Thank you.'

# Is Vic there?

# Is Vic there?

# Is Vic there?

# Is Vic there?

# Is Vic there?

# Is Vic there?

# Is Vic there? # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Department S and Is Vic There?

Now then, one of the very best cuts of vinyl

you can get in the shops at the moment has got to be this.

It's a double A-side from The Beat,

and they've got All Out To Get You on one,

and this, by far my favourite.

It's called Drowning. Just hear this.

# Compromise around the corner

# Can you hear the accountant's call?

# Could you refuse another dollar?

# Could you stop yourself from falling?

# So in between the sleepless nights

# You dream that you are winning fights

# But then it happens Dreadful thing

# A wave appears, too big to swim

# You're drowning

# You're drowning

# Buy a beach before next summer

# How do you feel in the mornings?

# If the light's an awful bother

# I could always close the curtains

# Just close your eyes and count to ten

# See if you still remember when

# Your life seemed easy You had friends

# But that was different That that was then

# You're drowning

# You're drowning Round and round and round

# You're drowning In a frenzy now

# You're drowning

-# You want me go in-a the ocean

-So me say

-# I saw you drowning in slow motion

-And now me learn

# Far too late to make a commotion

# Too late for you to show easy motion

# That's why you go down to the bottom

# Say you can't reach the top

# Get stuck down the bottom Say you can't reach the top

# A-two days later say they find you upon the rocks

# Say ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, bad luck, eh?

# Tell yourself until you're certain

# When you hear the accountant's call

# You'll buy a beach before next summer

# Swim away and leave it all

# So underwater deaf and blind

# Under such pressures you might find

# A secret right before the end

# That makes you want to breathe again

# You're drowning

# You're drowning Round and round and round

# You're drowning

# In a frenzy now

# Drowning

# You're drowning Round and round and round... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's a brilliant track, that. That's The Beat.

Look out for their forthcoming album called Wha'ppen?

out in a short while. Right, they're out of the country,

but our cameras did catch them in concert. It is Whitesnake.

# I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love

# Before I turn and walk away

# I've had enough of holding on

# The promises of yesterday

# Every day of my life, it seems trouble's knocking at my door

# It's hard to try and satisfy

# When you don't know what you're fighting for

# Time and again I sing your song

# But I've been running on empty far too long

# I've had enough holding on to the past

# Make no mistake, it could be your last

# Don't break my heart again

# Like you did before

# Don't break my heart again

# I couldn't take any more

# I never hide the feeling inside

# And though I'm standing with my back to the wall

# I know that even in a summer love

# A little bit of rain must fall

# But every road I take I know where it's gonna lead me to

# Because I've travelled every highway

# And they all keep coming back to you

# Time and again I sing your song

# But I've been running on empty far too long

# I've had enough holding on to the past

# Make no mistake, it could be your last

# Don't break my heart again

# Like you did before

# Don't break my heart again

# I couldn't take any more

# Don't break my heart. #

APPLAUSE

Dead raunchy, that track from Whitesnake,

and Don't Break My Heart Again.

We welcome to Top Of The Pops a band called UK Subs

who have gone through quite an image change, as you're about to see,

with their brand-new single called Keep On Running.

# Run, boy, run

# You've got some road to burn

# Don't let them shoot you down

# When your back is turned

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Run, boy, run

# Don't look around

# Too many blades will cut you down

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Run, boy, run

# Put yourself in overdrive

# The city girls are pretty

# One could be yours tonight

# Run, boy, run

# Run out of the crowd

# You don't have no future

# In the underground

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn

# Keep on running till you burn... # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# The innocence of sleeping children

# Dressed in white and slowly dreaming stops all time

# Slow my steps and start to blur

# So many years have filled my heart

# I never thought I'd say those words

# The further we go and older we grow

# The more we know, the less we show

# The further we go and older we grow

# The more we know, the less we show

# The very first time I saw your face

# I thought of a song and quickly changed the tune

# The very first time I touched your skin

# I thought of a story and rushed to reach the end too soon

# Oh, remember

# Oh, please don't change

# So the fall came 13 years

# A shiny ring and how I could forget your name

# The air no longer in my throat

# Another perfect lie is choked

# But it always feels the same

# So they close together

# Dressed in red and yellow

# Innocent forever

# Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream

# The further we go and older we grow

# The more we know, the less we show

# The further we go and older we grow

# The more we know, the less we show. #

# And when you can see how it's gotta be

# You're making your mind up

# And try to look as if you don't care less

# But if you want to see some more

# Bending the rules of the game will let you find

# The one you're looking for

# And then you can show that you think you know

# You're making your mind up

# Don't let your indecision take you from behind

# Trust your inner vision

# Don't let others change your mind

# And now you really gotta speed it up

# Speed it up

-# And then you gotta slow it down

-Slow it down

# Cos if you believe that a love can hit the top

# You gotta play around

# And soon you will find that there comes a time

# For making your mind up

# And now you really gotta speed it up

# Speed it up

-# And then you gotta slow it down

-Slow it down

# Cos if you believe that a love can hit the top

# You gotta play around
