You decide yourself. Here they are.

# Is it a dream...? #

-# No distraction

-Is it a dream?

-# No more fighting

-Is it a dream?

-# No backbiting

-Is it a dream?

# If we could only see

# Things as they're meant to be

# But no, it's just a dream

-# Satisfaction

-Is it a dream?

-# No distraction

-Is it a dream?

-# No more fighting

-Is it a dream?

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Is It a Dream? from Classix Nouveaux.

Wonderful show for you tonight, hope you're going to stay tuned.

Here comes ABC and Poison Arrow. Go!

APPLAUSE

# 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" And 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 the 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 heart-heart-heart... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ABC. Deservedly at number six with Poison Arrow.

Well done, Trevor Horn on production.

Here's a great ballad that's doing well in the charts for Leo Sayer,

who asks, Have You Ever Been in Love? And he's singing it live.

APPLAUSE

# In the morning light

# Half awake and half asleep

# Have you ever lain there thinking

# Was it all in a dream?

# But you reach out and she's there

# Every moment, everywhere

# Hmmm-mm-hmmm

# Have you ever been in love?

# Have you ever felt how far a heart can fall?

# Have you ever stayed up waiting for a telephone call?

# Just to hear her say hello

# Cos you miss each other so

# Hmm-mm-hmmm

# Have you ever been in love?

# Have there been times to laugh

# And times you really want to cry

# Finding reasons to believe her

# Cos you'd die a little if she lied

# When in times of doubt

# Have you ever tried to work it out?

# But still she leaves you wondering what it's all about

# When she's far away, have you ever felt the need to stray?

# And tried and then discovered it just doesn't pay

# For with her you can be you

# And with her you can be true

# Oooh-ooh-ooh

# Have you ever been in love?

# Have there been times to laugh

# And times you really want to cry

# Finding reasons to believe her cos you'd die a little if she lied

# When in times of doubt

# Have you ever tried to work it out?

# But still she leaves you wondering what it's all about

# Oooh-ooh-ooh

# Aaah, still she leaves you wondering

# What it's all about

# And when the night comes down

# Can you call this house a home

# Do you dream you're still together And wake up alone?

# Have you ever been in love

# The way that I'm in love?

# Have you ever been in love? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Beautiful, beautiful. Leo Sayer and Have You Ever Been in Love?

-# It's just an illusion

-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ahh

-# Illusion

-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ahh

-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ahh

-# Illusion

-Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ahh

-# Putting me back

-In all this confusion

-# Could it be that

-It's just an illusion now

# Could it be that... #

APPLAUSE

Yes, it's Just An Illusion. Yes, it is.

Now, here comes Maureen of Zoo, dancing to Derek and the Dominos' Layla - a hit again, yeah!

# What'll you do when you get lonely

# And nobody's waiting by your side?

# You've been running and hiding much too long

# You know it's just your foolish pride

# Layla, you've got me on my knees

# Layla, I'm begging, darling please

# Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

# I tried to give you consolation

# When your old man had let you down

# Like a fool, I fell in love with you

# Turned my whole world upside down

# Layla, you've got me on my knees

# Layla, I'm begging, darling please

# Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

# Let's make the best of the situation

# Before I finally go insane

# Please don't say we'll never find a way

# And tell me all my love's in vain

# Layla, you've got me on my knees

# Layla, I'm begging, darling please

# Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind

# Layla, you've got me on my knees

# Layla, I'm begging, darling please

# Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, now, could this next song be next week's number one? Who knows?

It's the Goombay Dance Band.

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm

# Mm-mm-mm-mmm

# Seven tears have flown into the river

# Seven tears are runnin' to the sea

# If one day they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent with love from me

# Here I stand head in hand

# Lonely like a stranger on the shore

# I can't stand this feeling any more

# Day by day this world's all grey

# And if dreams were eagles I would fly

# But they ain't and that's the reason why

# Seven tears have flown into the river

# Seven tears are runnin' to the sea

# If one day they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent with love from me

# Oh, my darling oh, my pretty lady

# Golden star that leads to paradise

# Like a river's running to the ocean

# I'll come back to you 4,000 miles

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm

# Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm

# Seven tears have flown into the river

# Seven tears are runnin' to the sea

# If one day they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent with love from me

# Oh, my darling oh, my pretty lady

# Golden star that leads to paradise

# Like a river's running to the ocean

# I'll come back to you 4,000 miles

# Seven tears have flown into the river

# Seven tears are runnin' to the sea

# If one day they reach some distant waters

# Then you'll know it's sent with love from me... #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

They're number 42 this week with Ghosts.

APPLAUSE

# When the room is quiet

# The daylight almost gone

# It seems there's something I should know

# Well, I ought to leave but the rain, it never stops

# And I've no particular place to go

# Just when I think I'm winning

# When I've broken every door

# The ghosts of my life

# Blow wilder than before

# Just when I thought I could not be stopped

# When my chance came to be king

# The ghosts of my life

# Blew wilder than the wind

# Well, I'm feeling nervous, now I find myself alone

# The simple life's no longer there

# Once I was so sure

# Now the doubt inside my mind

# Comes and goes but leads nowhere

# Just when I think I'm winning

# When I've broken every door

# The ghosts of my life

# Blow wilder than before

# Just when I thought I could not be stopped

# When my chance came to be king

# The ghosts of my life

# Blew wilder than the wind

# Just when I think I'm winning

# When I've broken every door

# The ghosts of my life

# Blow wilder than before

# Just when I thought I could not be stopped

# When my chance came to be king

# The ghosts of my life

# Blew wilder than the wind. #

# Travelling with no destination No place to go

# Nameless towns with faceless people

# No place I know

# Time to close my mind and drift off

# To other scenes

# Lose myself in glossy pages Dull magazines

# Moments pass by, oh so slowly

# Makes me lonely, too

# Twisting street light, in the darkness

# Makes me lonely, too

# Ah, the damned don't cry

# No, the damned don't cry

# Climbing smoke climbs upward slowly

# Past my trembling face

# I see myself in rain soaked windows

# In a different place

# Single heartbeats in the dim light

# Makes me lonely, too

# Hearing sounds of celebrations

# Makes me lonely, too

# Ah, the damned don't cry

# No, the damned don't cry

# Ah, the damned don't cry

# No, the damned don't cry

# Ah, the damned don't cry
