Hello, that's Bill over there, I'm Simon,

this is Top Of The Pops and here's Mari Wilson

with The Wilsations and Just What I've Always Wanted

-to kick us off.

-APPLAUSE

# Pam-pam-pam-pam-pam

# He said he was giving me a taffeta dress

# That's just what I've always wanted

# And then he said he'd give me more or less

# Of just what I've always wanted

# But you don't give me anything and I don't ask you

# Just yourself is good enough

# That's just what I've always wanted

# Just what I've always wanted

# Oh-oh, just what I've always wanted

# He said he'd make of me a millionaire

# That's what I've always longed for

# Not one Picasso, he'll give me a pair

# Just what I've always dreamed of

# But you don't give me anything and I don't ask you

# Just yourself is everything

# That's just what I've always wanted

# Just what I've always wanted

# Oh-oh, just what I've always wanted

# I've got a mink from Paris, a ring from Rome

# A whole new wardrobe in my home

# A tune from Tenney, an Ashworth snap

# These are the landmarks on my map

# I've got just what I always wanted

# She's got just what she's always wanted

# But you don't give me anything and I don't ask you

# Just yourself is everything

# That's just what I've always wanted

# Just what I've always wanted

# Oh-oh, just what I've always wanted

# Oh-oh, just what I've always wanted

# Oh-oh, just what I've always wanted. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

She's terrific.

It was Mari Wilson with Just What I've Always Wanted.

The biggest climber and the new entry in the class

this week by The Jam.

It's a brilliant song called

The Bitterest Pill I Ever Had To Swallow.

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

# In your white lace and your wedding bells

# You look the picture of contented new wealth

# But from the onlooking fool who believed your lies

# I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive

# For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

# The love I gave hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadows

# Yeah-yeah

# When the wheel of fortune broke, you fell to me

# Out of grey skies to change my misery

# The vacant spot your beating heart took its place

# Now watch smoke leave my lips and fill an empty room

# For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow

# The love I gave hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadows

# The bitterest pill is mine to take

# If I took it for a hundred years

# I couldn't feel any more ill

# The bitterest pill is mine to take

# If I took it for a hundred years

# I couldn't feel any more ill

# Yeah-yeah

# Now autumn's breeze blows summer's leaves through my life

# Twisted and broken dawn no days with sunlight

# The dying spark you left your mark on me

# The promise of your kiss but with someone else

# For the bitterest pill is mine to swallow

# The love I gave hangs in sad-coloured, mocking shadows

# The bitterest pill is mine to take

# If I took it for a hundred years

# I couldn't feel any more ill

# The bitterest pill is mine to take

# If I took it for a hundred years

# I couldn't feel any more ill

# Yeah, yeah

# The bitterest pill is mine to take

# If I took it for a hundred years

# I couldn't feel any more ill

# Ooh

# The bitterest pill is mine to take

# If I took it for a hundred years

# I couldn't feel any more ill. #

It's a great song. It's also the highest riser in the chart.

# Under the boss' eye

# Earn just enough to keep going

# Making cars I'll never buy

# So here I am sitting at a bus stop

# Wishing I was somewhere else

# Where I didn't have to work my rocks off

# Five days a week I'm giving

# My time is clocking on

# Just two days left for living

# Yeah

# Wondering where my life has gone

# So here I am sitting at a bus stop

# Wishing I was somewhere else

One of the best live bands in the country at the moment

must be Shakatak.

Grab the chance to see them if you get a chance to see them on stage.

Here they are in the Top Of The Pops studio tonight with Invitation.

KEYBOARD PLAYS, WHISTLE BLOWS ALONG

# With a fleeting smile below the lazy eyes

# And the face that's not attempting to disguise

# It's an open invitation showing all the signs

# Sample my supply

# And the fingers touch her hand below the lace

# She suggests a later time another place

# He accepts her invitation "Wanna spend some time?"

# Written on her face

# Her stiletto heels go clicking through his head

# With the glossy invitation he misread

# And you'd think he couldn't fail to read between the lines

# Plays the fool instead

# Invitation

That's Shakatak. Tell me something.

You know Frida from ABBA, she's got a new album out

and the album is called Something's Going On,

She's here with us in the Top Of The Pops studio tonight.

-Hello.

-Hello, hello.

-CHEERING

-Congratulations on the new album.

-Thank you very much.

-Which is wonderful.

-But does that mean the end of ABBA?

-Oh, no, not at all.

-We'll continue to work.

-Will you be touring here as promised?

-In the future maybe, I don't know.

-How about you as a solo artist?

You've got this marvellous new album out,

does that mean you're going to go solo?

Occasionally, but not forever, I think.

Come back and see us as part of ABBA,

or as part of a new solo act, thank you very much indeed,

that's Frida from ABBA and here, ABC at number six.

# Once upon a time when we were friends

# I gave you my heart the story ends

# No happy ever after now we're friends

# Wish upon a star if that might help

# The stars collide if you decide

# Wish upon a star if that might help

# What's it like to have loved and to lose her touch?

# What's it like to have loved and to lose that much?

# Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday

# You'll walk in the room with my heart

# Add and subtract but as a matter of fact

# Now that you're gone I still want you back

# Remembering, surrendering

# Remembering that part

# All of my heart

# Spilling up in silk and coffee lace

# You hook me up a rendezvous at your place

# Your lipstick and your lip gloss seals my fate

# Ooh-ooh-ooh

# Sentimental powers might help you now

# But skip the hearts and flowers

# Skip the ivory towers

# You'll be disappointed and I'll lose a friend

# No, I won't be told

# There's a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow

# Or that pleasure and pain

# Sunshine and rain might make this love grow

# But I hope and I pray that maybe someday

# You'll walk in the room with my heart

# Add and subtract but as a matter of fact

# Now that you're gone I still want you back

# Remembering, surrendering

# The kindest struck the coolest heart

# All of my heart. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

That's a wonderful record, it's the sort of thing

that makes the hairs on the back of your legs stand on end.

ABC at number six with All Of My Heart.

Now, here's a good one, it's Today and Talk Talk.

# Cover me with shades of disbelief

# Can happiness be someone else's dream?

# Numbers call to spell my name

# Move about as values change

# Catch me if you can but don't delay

# Today, today

# It's a dream away

# Today, today

# Governed by the title on the wall

# Commit me to a life within a fool

# Happiness can often bleed

# Beggars lay among the sheep

# Let me take the choice the sermon pleads

# Today, today

# It's a dream away

# Today, today

# A dream away

# Visions in my cell begin to breed

# Was everything a fact of what I read?

# Excuse me while l spell my name

# Boat and ship could sound the same

# Catch me if you can but don't delay

# Today, today

# It's a dream away

# Today, today

# A dream away

# Belle Malissima

# Belle Malissima

# Belle Malissima

# Belle Malissima

# Today, today

# It's a dream away

# Today, today

# A dream away

# Today, today

# It's a dream away

# It's like a jungle sometimes

# It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

# It's like a jungle sometimes

# It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

# My brother's doin' bad stole my mother's TV

# Says she watches too much it's just not healthy

# All My Children in the daytime Dallas at night

# Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight

# The bill collectors they ring my phone

# And scare my wife when I'm not home

# Got a bum education double-digit inflation

# Can't take the train to the job there's a strike at the station

# Neon King Kong standin' on my back

# Can't stop to turn around broke my sacroiliac

# A mid-range migraine cancered membrane

# Sometimes I think I'm goin' insane I swear I might hijack a plane!

# Don't push me cos I'm close to the edge

# I'm trying not to lose my head

# It's like a jungle sometimes

# It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

# It's like a jungle sometimes

# It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under. #

# A child is born with no state of mind

# Blind to the ways of mankind

# God is smilin' on you but he's frownin' too

# Because only God knows what you'll go through

# You'll grow in the ghetto livin' second-rate

# And your eyes will sing a song called deep hate

# The places you play and where you stay

# Looks like one great big alleyway

# You'll admire all the number-book takers

# Thugs, pimps and pushers and the big money-makers

# Drivin' big cars, spendin' twenties and tens

# And you'll wanna grow up to be just like them

# Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers

# Pickpocket peddlers even panhandlers

# You say I'm cool, huh, I'm no fool

# But then you wind up droppin' outta high school

# Now you're unemployed, all non-void

# Walkin' round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd

# Turned stick-up kid but look what you done did

# Got sent up for a eight-year bid

# Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag

# Spend the next two years as a undercover fag

# Bein' used and abused to serve like hell

# Till one day, you was found hung dead in the cell

# But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song

# Of how you lived so fast and died so young

# So, don't push me, cos I'm close to the edge

# I'm trying not to lose my head Huh-huh-huh-huh

# It's like a jungle sometimes

# It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

# Huh-huh-huh

# It's like a jungle sometimes

# It makes me wonder how I keep from goin' under

# Huh-huh-huh-huh. #
