18/10/1984 Top of the Pops

Hello and welcome to Top Of The Pops,

some great stuff on the programme tonight,

including Ultravox and Meat Loaf,

and the very first appearance from Julian Lennon.

And it's almost exactly four years ago that this band

first appeared on Top Of The Pops.

They're with us tonight,

Spandau Ballet, Highly Strung.

# This is the song of little Jo

# She's not the girl I used to know

# Forever screaming

# All the day and night

# She used to be a diplomat

# But now she's down the laundromat

# They washed her mind

# And now she finds it hard

# I know her name

# But now she never seems the same

# She don't talk to me

# Cos she can't take no sympathy

# Because she's highly strung

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

# Highly strung

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

# Oo-oh-oh-oh

# She's stepping out upon the ledge

# She's got a gun against her head

# She's wired up to

# Blow the power line

# She's walking out upon the knife

# She'll take you to

# The edge of life

# Just like the song

# The pressure's on again

# I know her name

# Ho, but now she never seems the same

# She don't talk to me

# Cos she can't take no sympathy

# Because she's highly strung

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

# Highly strung

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

# Oo-oh-oh-oh-oh

# No, no, no

# I know her name

# Ho, but now she never seems the same

# She don't talk to me

# Cos she can't take no sympathy

-# Because she's highly strung

-Highly strung

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

-# Highly strung

-She's high

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

-# Highly strung

-Highly strung

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

-# Highly strung

-She's high

# Oh, highly strung

# She's undone

# Oh-oh

# Oo-oh-oh-oh

# This is the song of little Jo

# She's not the girl

# I used to know. #

Spandau Ballet and Highly Strung.

They're currently rehearsing for their tour

which starts in three weeks' time in Japan.

OK, from the movie Give My Regards To Broad Street,

Paul McCartney and No More Lonely Nights.

# I can wait another day

# Until I call you

# You've only got

# My heart on a string

# And everything a-flutter

# But another lonely night

# Na-na na-na

# Na-na na-na

# Might take forever

# Na-na na-na na-na

# We've only got each other to blame

# It's all the same to me, love

# Cos I know

# What I feel

# To be right

# No more lonely nights

# No more lonely nights

# You're my guiding light

# Day or night

# I'm always there

# May I never miss the thrill

# Na-na na-na

# Na-na na-na

# Of being near you

# Na-na na-na na-na

# And if takes

# A couple of years

# To turn your tears

# To laughter

# I will do

# What I feel

# To be right

# No more lonely nights

# Never be another

# No more lonely nights

# You're my guiding light

# Day or night

# I'm always there

# And I won't go away

# Until you tell me so

# No, I'll never go away

-# Yes, I know

-I know

-# What I feel

-I feel

-# To be right

-Be right

# No more lonely nights

# Never be another

# No more lonely nights

# You're my guiding light

# Day or night

# I'm always there

# And I won't go away

# Until you tell me so

# No, I'll never go away

# And I won't go away

# Until you tell me so

# No, I'll never go away

# No more lonely nights

# No, no

# Oo-ooh... #

Hello?

A box.

A big blue one?

So from McCartney to Lennon,

Julian Lennon, in fact, is on my show on Monday,

he's lovely, he's in at 30 with

Too Late For Goodbyes.

# Oh-oh-oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Ever since you've been leaving me

# I've been wanting to cry

# Now I know how it feels for you

# I've been wanting to die

# But it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Yes, it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Time has gone

# Since I've been with you

# And we've been starting to die

# Now it seems you don't care for me

# And I don't understand why

# But it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Yes, it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Ever since you've been far away

# I've been wanting to fly

# Now I know what you meant to me

# I'm the one who should cry

# And it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Yes, it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Ever since you've been leaving me

# I've been wanting to cry

# Now I know how it feels for you

# I've been wanting to die

# And it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Yes, it's much too late

# For goodbyes

# Oo-oo-ooh

# Di-di-di-di-doo

# Ba da ba da ba ba ba... #

That is just superb, Julian Lennon, Too Late For Goodbyes.

He's got a new album called Valotte out next week.

With a song written by Prince

and also the highest new entry in the charts this week,

here is Chaka Khan.

# Baby, baby, when I look at you

# I get a warm feeling inside

# There's something about

# The things you do

# That keeps me satisfied

# I wouldn't lie to you, baby

# It's mainly a physical thing

# This feeling that

# I got for you, baby

# Makes me wanna sing

# I feel for you

# I think I love you

# I feel for you

# I think I love you

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you

# Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

# Let me rock you That's all I wanna do

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you

# Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

# Let me rock you, let me feel for you

# Feel for you

# Baby, baby, when I lay with you

# There's no place I'd rather be

# I can't believe

# Can't believe it's true

# The things that you do to me

# I wouldn't lie to you, baby

# I'm physically attracted to you

# This feeling that

# I got for you, baby

# There's nothing that I wouldn't do

# I feel for you

# I think I love you

# I feel for you

# I think I love you

# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

# Yes, sir, one more time

# Say yeah

# I feel for you

# I think I love you

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

# Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do

# Chaka Khan, let me rock you

# Let me rock you, Chaka Khan

# Let me rock you, cos I feel for you

# Feel for you

# Aa-aaaah. #

From a guy who comes from Lancashire, used to be

a singer with a group called the Babys,

John Waite, Missing You.

# Every time I think of you

# I always catch my breath

# And I'm still standing here

# And you're miles away

# And I'm wondering

# Why you left

# And there's a storm

# That's raging

# Through my frozen heart tonight

# I hear your name

# In certain circles

# And it always makes me smile

# I spend my time

# Thinking about you

# And it's almost

# Driving me wild

# And there's a heart

# That's breaking

# Down this

# Long distance line tonight

# I ain't missing you at all

# Missing you, missing you

# Since you've been gone

-# Away

-Missing you, missing you

# I ain't missing you

# Missing you, missing you

# No matter

# What I might say

# Missing you, missing you

# There's a message

# In the wire

# And I'm sending you

# This signal tonight

# You don't know

# How desperate I've become

# And it looks like

# I'm losing this fight

# In your world

# I have no meaning

# Though I'm trying

# Hard to understand

# And it's my heart

# That's breaking

# Down this

# Long distance line tonight

# I ain't missing you at all

# Missing you, missing you

# Since you've been gone

-# Away

-Missing you, missing you

# I ain't missing you

# Missing you, missing you

# No matter

# What my friends say

# Missing you, missing you

# And there's a message

# That I'm sending out

# Like a telegraph

# To your soul

# And if I can't

# Bridge this distance

# Stop this

# Heartbreak overload

# I ain't missing you at all

# Missing you, missing you

# Since you've been gone

-# Away

-Missing you, missing you

# I ain't missing you

# Missing you, missing you

# No matter

# What my friends say

# Missing you, missing you

# I ain't missing you

# Missing you, missing you

# I ain't missing you

# Missing you, missing you. #

John Waite. He used to go out with Britt Ekland.

-I wish I did, Jan.

-She wouldn't have you.

Oh, well, you'll do, then.

# Standing on my own

# Much to me

# I thought I had it all

# I didn't see the

# Mystery

# I stood the test of time

# And took the step to find

# Love's great adventure

# I spoke a million words

# They didn't mean that

# Much to me

# They rang around my head

# Like empty tuneless harmony

# Love's great adventure's mine!

# Lying side by side

# It didn't mean that

# Much to me

# Or starting to enjoy

# The poetry and symphonies

# I took it in my stride

# And hailed the day I tried

# Love's great adventure

# A fool who couldn't see

# It didn't mean that

# Much to me

# I couldn't understand

# That's how the game is

# Meant to be

# Love's great adventure's mine!

# My great adventure

# Love's great adventure

# Love's great adventure!

# Standing on my own

# I stood the test of time

# I took the step to find

# Love's great adventure's mine! #

only a few weeks ago he was number one with Careless Whisper and now...

They are number one, Wham! are number one with Freedom.

# Everyday I hear a different story

# People say that you're no good for me

# "So your lover's with another

# "And she's making a fool of you?"

# Oh-oh

# If you love me, baby

# You'd deny it

# But you left

# And tell me I should try it

# Tell me I'm a baby

# And I will understand

# But to know

# That I'll forgive you

# Just this once, twice, forever

# Cos baby

# You could drag me to hell and back

# Just as long as we're together

# And you do

# I don't want your freedom

# I don't want to play around

# I don't want nobody, baby

# Part-time love just brings me down

# I don't need your freedom

# Girl all I want right now is you

# Doo-doo-doo

# Whoa-oh, yeah

# Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo

# Like a prisoner

# Who has his own key

# But I can't escape

# Until you love me

# I just go from day to day

# Knowing all about

# The other boys

# You take my hand

# And tell me I'm a fool

# To give you all that I do

# I bet you someday, baby

# Someone says the same to you

# But to know

# That I'll forgive you

# Just this once, twice, forever

# Cos baby

# You could drag me to hell and back

# Just as long as we're together

# And you do

# Oh

# I don't want your freedom

# I don't want to play around

# I don't want nobody, baby

# Part-time love just brings me down

# I don't want your freedom

# Girl all I want right now is you

# Doo-doo-doo

# Can't you see you're hurting me?

# Whoa-oh, yeah

# Doo-doo doo-doo doo-doo

# Doo-doo-doo

# You're hurting me, baby

# Hurting me, baby

# Oh-oh

# Dibbi-dib-dib-doo-doo

# Dibbi-dib-dib-doo-doo

# Dibbi-dib-dib-doo-doo

# Dibbi-dib-dib-doo-doo

# You're hurting me, baby

# Hurting me, baby

# But to know that I'll forgive you

# Just this once, twice, forever

# Cos baby

# You could drag me to hell and back

# Just as long as we're together

# And you do

# Oh

# I don't want your freedom

# I don't need to play around

# I don't want nobody, baby

# Part-time love just brings me down

# I don't want your freedom

# I don't need to play around... #

So we have a brand-new number one and we'll leave you with

Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakey, and Together In Electric Dreams.

-Ta-ra.

-Bye.

# I only knew you for a while

# I never saw your smile

# Till it was time to go

# Time to go away

# Time to go away

# Sometimes it's hard to recognise

# Love comes as a surprise

# And it's too late

# It's just too late to stay

# Too late to stay

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together

# Together in electric dreams

# Because the friendship

# That you gave

# Has taught me to be brave

# No matter where I go

# I'll never find a better prize

# Find a better prize

# Though you're miles and miles away

# I see you everyday

# I don't have to try

# I just close my eyes

# I close my eyes

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together

# Together in electric dreams

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together

# Together in electric dreams

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together

# Together in electric dreams

# We'll always be together

# However far it seems

# Love never ends

# We'll always be together... #
