Hello, good evening, and welcome to Top Of The Pops.

Last time I was with you was just a few weeks ago.

Tony, when were you last with us?

Last time I was here Vera Lynn was at number one in the charts, Gary.

Well, at number five in the charts at the moment, it's Bananarama.

APPLAUSE

Well, there seems to be no stopping Paul Weller.

He's teamed up with Mick Talbot,

and this shot straight into the charts at number six.

This is The Style Council.

# Your hair hangs in golden steps

# You're a bona fide in every respect

# You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you

# You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you

# Maybe that's why you speak like a child

# The things you're saying like I'm so free and so wild

# And I believe it when you look in my eyes

# You offer me a life and never lies

# Least only the kind to make me smile

# Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive

# It shops in stores where only the best buy

# You're cool and hard never sound like a lecher

# It's probably true but at least there's no lecture

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# The crazy sayings like I'm so free and so wild

# You have to make a bargain with me now

# A promise that you won't change somehow

# No way, now how

# Spent all day thinking about you

# Spent all night coming to terms with it

# Time and conditions are built to tame

# Nothing lasts with age, so people say

# But I will always try to feel the same

# Spent all day thinking about you

# Spent all night coming to terms with it

# Time and conditions are built to tame

# Nothing lasts with age, so people say

# But I will always try to feel the same

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# The way you hate the homely rank and the file... #

-APPLAUSE

-Really glad to be back with you on Top Of The Pops once again.

Here's a band who are here for the very, very first time.

They come all the way from Iceland. It's only their second record.

It's from an album simply called Surprise Surprise.

And if you try to buy this in Iceland,

you'll have quite a surprise, cos it would cost you £15,

believe it or not.

There's a lot to be said for living here, isn't there?

Here's Mezzoforte and Garden Party.

APPLAUSE

Our next band last had a hit around Christmas time

with a song called Hymn.

They're back with Visions In Blue. This is Ultravox.

# Face in the window in the night

# Caught for a second by the light

# Ashes of memories still aglow

# Only for you

# Portraits and pictures you once saw

# Visions in blue

# Read while the letters still remain

# Sip from the wine of youth again

# Oaths made in silence still return

# Only for you

# Cast like a shroud you're clutching on

# Visions in blue

# Catch aimless smiles from passers by

# Blistered and broken in reply

# Breath seems to mist the hazy view

# Only for you

# Tears coat your lifeless eyes with dew

# Visions in blue

# Visions in blue

# Ashes of memories still aglow

# Portraits and pictures you once saw

# Ashes of memories still aglow

# Portraits and pictures you once saw... #

APPLAUSE

# Turn around

# Every now and then I get a little bit lonely

# And you're never coming round

# Turn around

# Every now and then I get a little bit tired

# Of listening to the sound of my tears

# Turn around

# Every now and then I get a little bit nervous

# That the best of all the years have gone by

# Turn around

# Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

# And then I see the look in your eyes

# Turn around, bright eyes

# Every now and then I fall apart

# Turn around, bright eyes

# Every now and then I fall apart

# And I need you now tonight

# And I need you more than ever

# And if you only hold me tight

# We'll be holding on forever

# And we'll only be making it right

# Cos we'll never be wrong

# Together we can take it to the end of the line

# Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

# All of the time

# I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

# We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

# I really need you tonight

# Forever's gonna start tonight

# Forever's gonna start tonight

# Once upon a time I was falling in love

# But now I'm only falling apart

# There's nothing I can do

# A total eclipse of the heart

# Once upon a time there was light in my life

# But now there's only love in the dark

# Nothing I can say

# A total eclipse of the heart

# Turn around, bright eyes

# Every now and then I fall apart

# Turn around, bright eyes

# Every now and then I fall apart

-# And I need you now tonight

-And I need you now

# And I need you more than ever

# A total eclipse of the heart

# A total eclipse of the heart

# A total eclipse of the heart. #

Yes, indeed. But we won't be here on Thursday,

we'll be here on Wednesday, just for one week.

Thanks very much for watching tonight.

On behalf of all of us here at Top Of The Pops, goodnight.

I'll see you soon. What about you, Tony?

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed, Gary.

And we'll leave you with Forrest and Rock The Boat. Goodnight.

# Rock the boat

# Ever since our voyage of love began

# Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind

# And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea

# There's always been a quiet place to harbour you and me

# Our love is like a ship on the ocean

# We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion... #
