18/02/1982 Top of the Pops

Good evening! Welcome to Top Of The Pops!

And we're going to kick off with Madness and Cardiac Arrest.

# Papers in the morning Bowler hat on head

# Walking to the bus stop He's longing for his bed

# Waiting with his neighbours in the rush-hour queue

# Got to get the first bus So much for him to do

# He's got to hurry Got to get his seat

# Can't miss his place Got to rest his feet

# Ten more minutes till he gets there

# The crossword's nearly done

# It's getting so hard these days Not nearly so much fun

# His mind wanders to the office His telephone desk and chair

# He's been happy with the company They've treated him real fair

# Think of seven letters begin and end in "C"

# Like a big American car but misspelt with a "D"

# I wish this bus'd get a move on Driver's taking his time

# I just don't know if I'll be late Oh, dear, what will the boss say?

# Pull yourself together now Don't get in a state

# Don't you worry there's no hurry

# It's a lovely day Could all be going your way

# Take the doc's advice Let up enjoy your life

# Listen to what they say It's not a game they play

# He'll never get there at this rate He's caught up in a jam

HORN BEEPS

# There's a meeting this morning It's just his luck, oh, damn!

# His hand dives in his pocket for his handkerchief

# Pearls of sweat on his collar His pulse-beat seems so brief

# Eyes fall on his wristwatch The seconds pass real slow

# Gasping for the hot air but the chest pain it won't go

# Tried to ask for help but can't seem to speak a word

# Words are whispered frantically but don't seem to be heard

# What about the wife and kids they all depend on me

# We're so sorry We told you not to hurry

# Now it's just too late You've got a certain date

# We thought we made it clear We all voiced our inner fears

# We left it up to you There's nothing we can do

# Don't you worry there's no hurry it's a lovely day... #

Madness, more fun than having a

puppy for Christmas, and Cardiac Arrest.

George Benson, first charted in '75

and now he's in the charts with this...

# Never give up on a good thing

# Remember what makes you happy

# No, I'll never give up on a good thing

-# If love is what you got

-You've got a lot

# Money's tight He's working every night

# It ain't easy to keep the flame alive

# And when he finally comes home to you

# He's just too tired to do the things you want to

# You can't help but wonder to yourself

# How would it be with someone else?

# Just keep in mind every storm ends in time

# Love is forever

-# Stay together

-Stay together

-# When you got something real

-Love forever

# That you may never feel again

# Never give up on a good thing

# Remember what makes you happy

-# Whoa, whoa

-Never give up on a good thing

-# If love is what you got

-You got a lot

# Now you're the man you've got to understand

# She don't mean to make a scene

# Like you she feels all the weight you're under

# And when she breaks is it any wonder?

# I know sometimes it crosses your mind

# To get on out and stay hard to find

# Before you try you'd better look in her eyes

# Love is forever

-# Stay together

-Stay together

-# You got something real

-Love forever

# That you may never feel again... #

George Benson and Never Give Up On A Good Thing.

Well, the very first time that UB40

were on Top Of The Pops, I was on it as well.

Here they are, new label, and a new song.

# I won't close my eyes

# To the sufferer's plight

# In a world full of sadness

# I won't turn off my light

# Our cries for justice are shots in the dark

# But our strength's in our bite and not in our bark

# It's time to stand and face the oncoming crowd

# And the louder we scream the sweeter the sound

# I won't close my eyes

# When I know that I'm right

# When I'm drowning in tears

# I won't turn off my light

# We're shown no respect but that can't break our pride

# When our back's to the wall we won't run and we won't hide

# It's time to stand

# And shout it out loud

# Because the louder we scream the sweeter the sound

# I won't close my eyes when the future don't look bright

# When the road seems too long I won't turn out my light

He-hey!

# In a world full of darkness I won't turn out my light

# Whoa...

# I won't turn out my light

# I won't turn out my light

UB40 and I Won't Close My Eyes. ABC just having their second hit.

It's produced by Trevor Horn and it's Poison Arrow and it's great.

# If I were to say to you, "Can you keep a secret?"

# Would you know just what to do or where to keep it?

# Then I say I love you Foul the situation

# Hey girl I thought we were the right combination

# Who broke my heart? You did, you did

# Bow to the target Blame Cupid, Cupid

# You think you're smart Stupid, stupid

# Shoot that poison arrow to my heart

# Shoot that poison arrow

# Shoot that poison arrow to my heart

# Shoot that poison arrow

# No rhythm in cymbals No tempo in drums

# Love on arrival She comes when she comes

# Right on the target but wide of the mark

# What I thought was fire was only the spark

# The sweetest melody

# Is an unheard refrain

# So lower your sights, yeah

# But raise your aim Raise your aim

# Who broke my heart? You did, you did

# Bow to the target blame Cupid, Cupid

# You think you're smart? Stupid, stupid

# Shoot that poison arrow to my heart

# Shoot that poison arrow

# Shoot that poison arrow to my heart

# Shoot that poison arrow... #

I thought you loved me but it seems you don't care.

I care enough to know I can never love you.

# Who broke my heart? You did, you did

# Bow to the target blame Cupid

# You think you're smart? That's stupid!

# Right from the start when you knew we would part

# Shoot that poison arrow to my heart

# Shoot that poison arrow

# Shoot that poison arrow to my ha-ha-heart

# Shoot that poison arrow

# Heart...

# Shoot that poison arrow

# Shoot that poison arrow! #

That's going to be a top ten record for ABC.

Stuart Colman who produced Shakin' Steven's three number ones

also produced this for The Jets.

# There's been a lot of talk about the game of love

# It's what everybody everywhere is thinking of

# The love bug's busy as he can be

# And I got a funny feeling that he just bit me

# But don't know who you are or what you do

# But you're everything I'm dreaming of

# I don't know who you are but

# you're a real dead ringer for love. #

# When you get caught between the moon and the sun... #

Well, when you get caught between the moon and New York City,

you find yourself at Number Eight in the charts this week.

Arthur's Theme from Christopher Cross.

# ...but it's true

# If you get caught between the moon and New York City

# Best that you can do Best that you can do

# Best that you can do

# Is fall in love. #

# Julie... #

Well, following This Ole House

and Green Door, Shakin' Stevens third number one was Oh Julie.

# Honey don't leave me alone

# Julie never leave me

# Please don't deceive me

# Julie, oh believe me

# And be, be my very own! #

# In the village the peaceful village... #

Tight Fit! You saw them earlier on Top Of The Pops, this week they're

at Number Six with their brand-new version of The Lion Sleeps Tonight.

# ...In the village the quiet village

# The lion sleeps tonight. #

# She's going out tonight... #

Well, their biggest single so far has been Autobahn,

but after making it to Number One with The Model, Kraftwerk

have made that their biggest song ever.

This week, they're at number five.

# ...And she has been checking nearly all the men

# She's playing her game and you can hear them say... #

# If Joan of Arc had a heart

# Would she give it as a gift

# To such as me who longs to see

# How a legend ought to be... #

Maid of Orleans, a song, of course, about Joan of Arc who

incidentally wasn't canonized until 1921. Did you know that?

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, this week at Number Four.

# Had dreams to give her heart away

# Like an orphan along the way

# She cared so much

# She offered up her body to the grave. #

# Take your hands off me... #

Soft Cell are at Number Three with their third hit hard on the

heels of Tainted Love and Bedsitter comes Say Hello Wave Goodbye.

# ...I don't belong to you, you see

# Take a look at my face for the last time

# I never knew you, you never knew me

# Say hello, goodbye

# Say hello Wave goodbye

# Under the deep grey light I can see the make-up sliding down

# Hey little girl you will always make up

# So take off that unbecoming frown

# What about me?

# Well, I'll find someone

# That's not going cheap in the sales

# A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life

# And won't keep going off the rails

# Take your hands off me... #

# Golden brown, finer temptress... #

The Stragglers have got their biggest hit to date

with Golden Brown.

They're holding steady at Number Two.

# ...from far away

# Stays for a day

# Never a frown with Golden Brown. #

Well, with a double-A-side at Number One for the second week running, Jam

are here in the studio, and tonight they're going to do Precious.

# Your precious love- that means so much

# Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch

# What I want to say- but my words just fail

# Is that I need it so I can't help myself

# Like a hungry child- I just can't help myself

# And when I'm all full up I go out to play

Ow!

Huh!

# Lonely as the moors on a winter's morning

# Quiet as the sea on a good calm night

# In your tranquil shadow I try and follow

# I hear your distant shoe clicks

# To the midnight beat

# I feel trapped in sorrow in this imagery

# But that's how I am and why I need you so

Ow!

Huh!

# But I don't mean to bleed you dry

# Or take you over for the rest of your life

# It's just that I need something solid in mine

# Believe me, baby

# Your precious love that means so much

# Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch?

# What I want to say- but my words just fail

# I hear your distant shoe clicks to the midnight beat

I feel trapped in sorrow in this imagery

# But that's how I am and why I need you so! #

That's it from Top Of The Pops. Good night and see you next week.

I'll see you tomorrow morning at seven and as it's the second

time Jam have come straight in at Number One, here's a bonus for you!

Town Called Malice!

# Better stop dreaming of the quiet life

# Cos it's the one we'll never know

# And quit running for that runaway bus

# Cos those rosy days are few

# And stop apologising for the things you've never done

# Cos time is short and life is cruel

# But it's up to us to change

# This town called Malice

# Rows and rows of disused milk floats

# Stand dying in the dairy yard

# And 100 lonely housewives

# Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts

# Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry

# It's enough to make you stop believing

# When tears come fast and furious

# In a town called Malice

# Yeah!

# Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, da, ba, ba, ba, ba, da, da

# Oh, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, da, da

# Struggle after struggle Year after year

# The atmosphere's a dried blend of ice

# I'm almost stone-cold dead!

# In a town called Malice

# Ooh, yeah!

# A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef

# Get's dashed against the Co-op

# To either cut down on beer or the kids' new gear

# Is a big decision in a town called Malice

# Ooh, yeah

# Oooh...

# The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track

# It's at the moment bound for nowhere

# Just going 'round and 'round

# Playground kids and creaking swings

# Lost laughter in the breeze

# I could go on for hours and I probably will

# But I'd sooner put some joy back In this town called Malice

# Yeah!

# Ooh...

# This town called Malice

# Yeah... #
