17/09/1981 Top of the Pops

Good evening, it's another Top Of The Pops, yes, it is.

We've got a great show for you tonight, and we're going to kick off

with this lot over here. It's Gidea Park and Seasons Of Gold.

# Capture that music of gold

# To remember The Four Seasons

# Sherry, Sherry baby

# Sherry, Sherry baby

# Sherry baby

# Sherry baby

# Sherry, can you come out tonight?

# Big girls don't cry

# Big girls don't cry

# Big girls

# Don't cry

# They don't cry

# Big girls don't cry

# Who said that they don't cry

# Walk like a man, talk like a man

# Walk like a man, my son

# No woman's worth crawling on the earth

# So walk like a man, my son

# Oh woo ooo ooo...

# Walk walk walk walk

# Oh woo ooo ooo...

# I've got you

# Under my skin

# I've got you

# Deep in the heart of me

# I'm working my way back to you, babe

# With a burning love inside

# I keep working my way back to you, babe

# And the happiness that died

# I let it get away

# Dawn, go away, I'm no good for you

# Oh

# Oh-oh-oh, rag doll, ooh

# Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

# Rag doll

# Little rag doll

# I'd like to know that your love

# Is just a love

# Is just a love I'm sure of

# So tell me now

# And I won't ask again, my darling

# Will you still love me? #

APPLAUSE

Woo! An excellent medley of Four Seasons songs.

Now, this record is going to send you off into dreamland.

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark.

# It's my direction It's my proposal

# It's so hard It's leading me astray

# My obsession, it's my creation

# You'll understand It's not important now

# All I need is coordination

# I can't imagine my destination

# My intention, ask my opinion

# With no excuse, my feelings still remain

# My feelings still remain. #

APPLAUSE

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Souvenir.

Now, just outside the chart at 41 is this one from Beggar And Co.

THEY CHANT

# It's a wonder that you're seeing through the night

# With your clothes and hair that glitter through the night

# As we come, they see you shining in the street

# For the new romantic warrior you'll meet

THEY CHANT

# You look to see the warrior appear

# They saw they had to challenge me, I fear

# She smiled and led me straight into the night

# Behold, future dreams to your delight

# I was walking the streets

# I was walking the streets

# I was walking the streets

# I was walking the streets

# Ohh

THEY CHANT

# I moved my hand and tried to wipe my eyes

# She looked at me and said No peace of mind

# I've come to take you to a land of dreams

# And time is not a distance So it seems

# I was walking the streets

# I was walking the streets

# I was walking the streets

# I was walking the streets. #

APPLAUSE

That's Beggar And Co, with Mule (Chant No. 2).

Now then, here's a lady who's about to embark on a brand-new tour,

and this is her brand-new song.

MUSIC: Just Another Broken Heart by Sheena Easton

# All I need to get my share

# Of someone's tender loving care

# But there are people People everywhere

# Whose hearts are broken beyond repair

# You took your choice from the display

# Wrapped me up, took home to play

# When love ran out, threw me away

# Cost more to mend than you would pay

# I feel used and confused

# You know I do, you know I do

# You know I do, you know I do

# I'm no freak, I'm not unique

# I'm not alone but no-one really cares

# I'm just another broken heart

# Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# It feels like I was loaned to you

# A library book you won't renew

# A card arrived, you're overdue

# You get replaced by someone new

# I feel foiled and shop-soiled

# You know I do, you know I do

# You made me a refugee

# I'm not alone but no-one really cares

# I'm just another broken heart

# Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I feel used and confused

# You know I do, you know I do

# I'm no freak, I'm not unique

# I'm not alone but no-one really cares

# I'm just another broken heart

# Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# Heart, heart

# I'm just another broken heart

# I'm just another broken heart. #

APPLAUSE

Who else could that possibly have been but Sheena Easton

and Just Another Broken Heart? Right, here comes Teardrop Explodes.

# The friend I have is a passionate friend

# But I cant see you buying

# Love a dream of a love affair

# That's over past and dying

# Celebrate the great escape

# From lunacy divided

# Hunnanoo, I'm seeing you

# But nobody's decided

# A sound that's drifting out from you

# When the love has boiled away

# Colours shape and these are things that need

# A beating heart not a cheating heart

# But a cheating heart is still a beating heart

# I believe in you today

# My life sees me wandering

# Lost in smiles forever

# Erase my mind, see what I find

# Axes dream together

# I've got all sleep's secrets hidden in my bag

# But a lot are leaving cos they're not believing

# That you could ever do that thing

# And never bring yourself to sing

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah Bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah Bah bah bah bah

# Doo doo doo

# Doo doo doo Doo doo doo

# Doo doo doo

# Doo doo doo Doo doo doo

# The friend I have is a passionate friend

# But I can't see you buying

# Love a dream of a love affair

# That's overcast and flying

# Celebrate the great escape

# Carry my soul away

# From sufferance, intolerance

# Leaving you today

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Bah bah bah bah bah

# Doo doo doo

# Doo doo doo Doo doo doo

# Doo doo doo

# Doo doo doo Doo doo doo

# Oh oh oh oh

# Oh-oh oh-oh oh

# Oh oh oh oh

# Oh oh oh oh. #

APPLAUSE

Number 29, Passionate Friend, Teardrop Explodes. Now, here comes

the moment I've been waiting for, I hope you've been waiting for it too.

It's Legs & Co. dancing to Hi-Gloss and You'll Never Know.

# Look what you have gone and done, you fool

# The best was yet to come

# What a childish game to play

# You had it all and threw it all away

# You were not the first, my love

# Don't kid yourself

# You sure won't be the last

# You have just yourself to blame

# A fool's a fool by any other name

# You'll never know You'll never know

# You'll never know You'll never know

# You'll never know how close we came

# Nothing but the best for you would do

# My love was vintage wine

# Now you're just a memory

# You've gone from me

# Just so much wasted time

# You can rest assured that I won't cry

# For tears were never quite my style

# I stopped crying long ago

# When life erased forever from my mind

# You'll never know You'll never know

# You'll never know You'll never know

# You'll never know You'll never know

# You'll never know how hard I tried

# You'll never know You'll never know

# You'll never know You'll never know

# We could have had it all

# You'll never know how hard I tried. #

APPLAUSE

That's the Birdie Song from The Tweets, a song with no words.

OK, here comes Godley & Creme.

# I was standing in the station being pounded by the rain

# So I chose the last compartment of a stationary train

# Felt someone get in behind me but I never caught their eye

# But I thought I heard a woman's voice whispering goodbye

# So I lay down in the darkness with the beer and coffee stains

# And I stared out at the thunder through the broken window panes

# And although the storm was booming like an engine in the sky

# I'm sure I heard a woman's voice cry

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb

# It's over and done

# I'll never be under your thumb forever

# So I rolled myself a cigarette and smoked it on my own

# But it didn't stop the whispers or the smell of her cologne

# Then she rose up out of nowhere and her hair was full of steam

# And she stuck her head out the window

# And screamed

# And screamed

# She screamed

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb

# It's over and done

# I'll never be under your thumb forever

# So I picked up an old newspaper to read

# And I noticed something very strange indeed

# So I looked a little closer

# And it chilled me to the bone

# "Woman throws herself from speeding train, identity unknown"

# But I recognised the picture of the woman who was dead

# And underneath the picture it said

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb forever

# Don't wanna be under your thumb

# It's over and done

# I'll never be under your thumb forever. #

# I just can't figure it

# I'm living in the shadows I got nowhere to go

# Since you left, I'm broken, babe I need you, don't you know?

# Ah-aah

# One of those nights

# Just one of those nights

# Silence surrounds me Your memory haunts me

# It's one of those nights

# It's just one of those nights

# If only I had you to love me on one of those nights

# It's one of those nights

# I gave her everything I had

# How could she leave and just forget it?

# I know it seems I've thrown my life away on her

# I don't regret it

# Darling, don't say a word cos I already heard

# What your body's saying to mine

# I'm tired of fast moves I've got a slow groove

# On my mind

# I want a man with a slow hand

# I want a lover with an easy touch

# I want somebody who will spend some time

# Not come and go in a heated rush

# I want somebody who will understand

# When it comes to love I want a slow hand

# Ooh-ooh

# On shadowed ground with no-one around

# And a blanket of stars in our eyes

# We are drifting free like two lost leaves

# On the crazy wind of the night

# Darling, don't say a word cos I already heard

# What your body's saying to mine

# If I want it all night You say it's all right

# Ooh, we got the time

# Cos I got a man with a slow hand

# I got a lover with an easy touch
