18/11/1982 Top of the Pops

APPLAUSE

You can call me an old silly if you like,

but I think this is the best line-up for Top Of The Pops we've had

for a very long time indeed.

Laughter and melody and lots of good, clean fun.

Here are Modern Romance.

MUSIC: Best Years Of Our Lives

# Best years of our lives

# I ask you the questions

# But you tell me lies

# Cos all of the time

# You're just full of surprise

# Please tell me Please tell me if all this is true

# Cos deep down inside

# All I wanted was you

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Makes me wanna dance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# It's a new romance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# I look into your eyes

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Best years of our lives

# When we first met I could hardly believe

# The things that would happen and we could achieve

# So let's be together for all of the time

# And thank my good fortune that you are still mine

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Makes me wanna dance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# It's a new romance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# I look into your eyes

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Best years of our lives

# I ask you the questions

# But you tell me lies

# Cos all of the time

# You're just full of surprise

# And I can't understand why you tease me this way

# My head's in a whirl and I've just gotta say

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Makes me wanna dance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# It's a new romance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# I look into your eyes

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Best years of our lives All together now

# Makes me wanna dance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# It's a new romance

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# I look into your eyes

# Oh-ohhh-oh

# Best years of our lives. #

Ah, don't you just love those exotic Latin rhythms, eh?

That's Modern Romance, and now it's Daryl Hall and John Oates.

MUSIC: Maneater

# She'll only come out at night

# The lean and hungry type

# Nothing is new I've seen her here before

# Watching and waiting

# Ooh, she's sitting with you

# But her eyes are on the door

# So many have paid to see

# What you think you're getting for free

# The woman is wild

# A she-cat tamed by the purr of a jaguar

# Money's the matter

# If you're in it for love

# You ain't gonna get too far

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# She's a maneater

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# She's a maneater

# I wouldn't if I were you

# I know what she can do

# She's deadly, man

# She could really rip your world apart

# Mind over matter

# Ooh, the beauty is there

# But a beast is in the heart

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# She's a maneater

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# Watch out, boy, she'll chew you up

# Oh-ohh, here she comes

# She's a maneater. #

Daryl Hall and John Oates.

Now, eyes down for a full house.

Number 13, unlucky for some, Duran Duran. This is Rio.

# Moving on the floor now, babe

# You're a bird of paradise

# Cherry ice cream smile

# I suppose it's very nice

# With a step to your left and a flick to the right

# You catch that mirror way out west

# You know you're something special

# And you look like you're the best

# Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

# Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

# And when she shines

# She really shows you all she can

# Oh, Rio, Rio

# Dance across the Rio Grande

# I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV

# Two of a billion stars

# It means so much to me

# Like a birthday or a pretty view

# But then I'm sure that you know

# It's just for you

# Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

# Just like that river twisting through a dusty land

# And when she shines

# She really shows you all she can

# Oh, Rio, Rio

# Dance across the Rio Grande... #

LAUGHTER

WHISTLING

# Hey, now, ooh

# Look at that Did he nearly run you down?

# At the end of the drive

# The lawmen arrive

# You make me feel

# Alive, alive, alive

# I'll take my chance

# Cos luck is on my side

# I tell you something I know what you're thinking

# I tell you something I know what you're thinking

# Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

# Just like that river twists across a dusty land

# And when she shines

# She really shows you all she can

# Oh, Rio, Rio

# Dance across the Rio Grande

# Her name is Rio She don't need to understand

# And I might find her

# If I'm looking like I can

# Oh, Rio, Rio

# Hear them shout across the land

# From mountains in the north

# Down to the Rio Grande. #

The thing is, which one's Simon?

That's Duran Duran and Rio,

which turns out to be a person rather than a geographical location.

And up next, the wonderful Tears For Fears.

MUSIC: Mad World

# All around me are familiar faces

# Worn-out places

# Worn-out faces

# Bright and early for the daily races

# Going nowhere

# Going nowhe-re

# Their tears are filling up their glasses

# No expression

# No expressio-on

# Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

# No tomorrow

# No tomorro-ow

# And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad

# The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

# I find it hard to tell you cos I find it hard to take

# When people run in circles It's a very, very...

# Mad world

# Mad world

# Mad world

# Mad world

# Children waiting for the day they feel good

# Happy birthday

# Happy birthda-ay

# And to feel the way that every child should

# Sit and listen

# Sit and liste-en

# Went to school and I was very nervous

# No-one knew me

# No-one knew me-ee

# Hello, teacher Tell me, what's my lesson?

# Look right through me

# Look right through me-ee

# And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad

# The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

# I find it hard to tell you cos I find it hard to take

# When people run in circles It's a very, very...

# Mad world

# Mad world

# Mad world

# Mad world

# And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad

# The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had

# I find it hard to tell you cos I find it hard to take

# When people run in circles It's a very, very...

# Mad world

# Mad world

# Enlarging your world

# Mad world. #

That's Tears For Fears and I really wanted that to get to number one.

Mind you, it still could. One of the singles of the year, anyway.

And here's another one of them,

from Blancmange, Living On The Ceiling.

# Huh

# You keep me running round and round

# Well, that's all right with me

# Up and down, I'm up the wall I'm up the cuckoo tree

# That's all right with me

# Yeah, that's all right with me

# Well, it feels all right to me

# Yeah, it looks all right to me

# And I'm so tall, I'm so tall

# You raise me and then you let me fall

# And I'm so small, I'm so small

# Wrap me around your finger

# See me fall Here we go

# You keep me running round and round

# Well, that's all right with me

# Nothing, nothing, nothing's gonna

# Step in my way

# Living on the ceiling

# No more room down there

# Things fall into place

# You get the joke, fall into place

# And I'm so tall, I'm so tall

# You raise me and then you let me fall

# And I'm so small, I'm so small

# Wrap me around your finger

# And see me fall Here we go

# You keep me running round and round

# Well, that's all right with me

# Up and down, I'm up the wall I'm up the cuckoo tree

# Hiding from your questions

# Questions you won't ask

# "Why am I up the tree?" you say

# "Why are you down there?" I say

# And I'm so tall, I'm so tall

# You raise me and then you let me fall

# And I'm so small, I'm so small

# Wrap me around your finger

# See me fall, hey. #

Admirable stuff. That's Blancmange.

# Tell me that you're happy now

# Turning my back, nothing to say

# Hey, tell this jerk to take a hike

# There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like

# Well, sugar, he don't mean the things he said
