1979 - Big Hits Top of the Pops

MUSIC: "Whole Lotta Love" by CCS

# Don't start me talking

# I could talk all night

# My mind goes sleepwalking

# While I'm putting the world to right

# Called careers information

# "Have you got yourself an occupation?"

# Oliver's army is here to stay

# Oliver's army are on their way

# And I would rather be anywhere else

# But here today

# There was a Checkpoint Charlie

# He didn't crack a smile

# But it's no laughing party

# When you've been on the Murder Mile

# Only takes one itchy trigger

# One more widow, one less white nigger

# Oliver's army is here to stay

# Oliver's army are on their way

# And I would rather be anywhere else

# But here today

# Hong Kong is up for grabs

# London is full of Arabs

# We could be in Palestine

# Overrun by the Chinese line

# With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

# But there's no danger

# It's a professional career

# Though it could be arranged

# With just a word in Mr Churchill's ear

# If you're out of luck or out of work

# We could send you to Johannesburg

# Oliver's army is here to stay

# Oliver's army are on their way

# And I would rather be anywhere else

# But here today

# And I would rather be anywhere else

# But here today

# And I would rather be anywhere else

# But here today. #

APPLAUSE

That's a good number.

There's one other, which is a lucky number,

and I can tell, we've been waiting for this. Lene Lovich!

# Ah-di-ah-di-ah-di-ah-di-ah-di-ah-di Ah-di-ah

# I never used to cry cos I was all alone

# For me, myself and I is all I've ever known

# I never felt the need to have a hand to hold

# In everything I do I take complete control

# That's where I'm coming from

# My lucky number's one

# I've everything I need to keep me satisfied

# There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind

# I'm having so much fun

# My lucky number's one

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

# Ay, ay, ay, ay, yi!

# I now detect an alien vibration here

# There's something in the air besides the atmosphere

# The object of the action is becoming clear

# An imminent attack upon my heart I fear

# The evidence is strong

# My lucky number's wrong

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

# Something tells me my lucky number's

# Going to be changing soon

# Something tells me my lucky number's

# Going to be

# Ooh-we-ooh-we-ooh-we-ooh-we-ooh

# You certainly do have a strange effect on me

# I never thought that I could feel the way I feel

# There's something in your eyes gives me a wild idea

# I never want to be apart from you, my dear

# I guess it must be true

# My lucky number's two

# This rearrangement suits me now I must confess

# The number one was dull and number two is best

# I want to stay with you

# My lucky number's two

# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh!

# Number two

# Number two

# Number two. #

APPLAUSE

Now, the follow up to Le Freak, from Chic, it's their brand-new single.

Le Freak topped the American charts. Will this one do the same?

It might do the same over here. Their new single, I Want Your Love.

# I want your love

# I want

# Your love

# I want your love

# I want

# Your love

# Do you feel

# Like you ever want

# To try my love and see how well it fits?

# Baby, can't you see

# When you look at me

# I can't kick this feeling when it hits

# All alone

# In my bed at night

# I grab my pillow and squeeze it tight

# I think of you

# And I dream of you

# All of the time

# What am I going to do?

# I want your love

# I want

# Your love

# I want your love

# I want

# Your love

# Sometime

# Don't you feel

# Like you never really had a love that's real?

# Well, here I am

# And who's to say

# A better love you won't find today?

# Just one chance

# And I will show you love

# Like no other

# Two steps above

# On your ladder

# I'll be a peg

# I want your loving

# Please don't make me beg

# I want your love

# I want

# Your love

# I want your love

# I want

# Your love

# I want your love... #

APPLAUSE

# Some girls will

# Some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of loving and, uh

# Some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever, but

# I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# So here I am in front of you

# Not really knowing what to do

# My heart is feeling something new

# Nervously I turn away from you

# I see those looks you're sending me

# Is this the way it's meant to be?

# It's something we should talk about

# Just give me time to work it out

# Some girls will

# Some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of loving and, uh

# Some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but

# I don't know why

# Some say they will and some girls lie

# I find your company to be

# Something completely new to me

# Now that I know you socially

# Obviously I'll fall heavily

# I've seen those looks you're sending me

# This is the way it's meant to be

# There's nothing left to talk about

# Oh, how I wish you'd work it out

# Some girls will

# Some girls won't

# Some girls need a lot of loving and, uh

# Some girls don't

# Well, I know I've got the fever but

APPLAUSE

A bit of a knees-up here at Top Of The Pops for you.

Chas and Dave and Gertcha!

# Now, there's a word that I don't understand

# I hear it every day from my old man

# It may be Cockney rhyming slang

# It ain't in no school book

# He says it every time that he gets mad

# A regular caution is my old dad

# Rub the old man up the wrong way

# Bet your life you'll hear him say

# Gertcha, cowson, gertcha! Gertcha!

# When the kids are swinging on the gate, gertcha!

# When the paperboy's half an hour late, gertcha!

# When the pigeons are pecking at his seed, gertcha!

# When the farmer starts digging up his weeds, gertcha! Gertcha!

# Bar stool preaching, he's always been the same!

# Now, the old man was a Desert Rat

# Khaki shorts and a khaki hat

# How me mother could have fancied that

# I just don't know

# But when the enemy came in sight

# They gave up without a fight

# As they rubbed him up the wrong way

# This is what they heard him say

# Gertcha! Gertcha!

# Gertcha! When me rock'n'roll records wake him up

# Gertcha! When the Poles knock England out the Cup

# Gertcha! When the kids are banging on his door

# Gertcha! When the barman won't serve him any more

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

# Bar stool preaching, he's always been the same

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha! Like the tom cats when they're kicking up a din

# Gertcha! Tottenham Hotspur couldn't get one in

# Gertcha! When me mother locks him out of the flat

# Gertcha! When it's raining and he can't find his hat

# Gertcha! In the mornings when his motorcar won't go

# Gertcha! Next-door neighbour when he won't give him a tow

Gertcha!

# Gertcha! #

APPLAUSE

Talking to the next bunch of guys just before the show, and they were

annoyed that Tony Blackburn picked this as Record of the Week.

It's Squeeze and Up The Junction!

# I never thought it would happen

# With me and the girl from Clapham

# Out on a windy common

# That night I ain't forgotten

# When she dealt out the rations

# With some or other passions

# I said, "You are a lady"

# "Perhaps", she said, "I may be"

# We moved into a basement

# With thoughts of our engagement

# We stayed in by the telly

# Although the room was smelly

# We spent our time just kissing

# The Railway Arms we're missing

# But love had got us hooked up

# And all our time it took up

# I got a job with Stanley

# He said I'd come in handy

# And started me on Monday

# So I had a bath on Sunday

# I worked 11 hours

# And bought the girl some flowers

# She said she'd seen a doctor

# And nothing now could stop her

# I worked all through the winter

# The weather, brass and bitter

# I put away a tenner

# Each week to make her better

# And when the time was ready

# We had to sell the telly

# Late evenings by the fire

# And little kicks inside her

# This morning at 4:50

# I took her rather nifty

# Down to an incubator

# Where 30 minutes later

# She gave birth to a daughter

# Within a year a walker

# She looked just like her mother

# If there could be another

# And now she's two years older

# Her mother's with a soldier

# She left me when my drinking

# Became a proper stinging

# The devil came and took me

# From bar to street to bookie

# No more nights by the telly

# No more night's nappies smelling

# Alone here in the kitchen

# I feel there's something missing

# I'd beg for some forgiveness

# But begging's not my business

# And she won't write a letter

# Although I always tell her

# And so it's my assumption

# I'm really up the junction. #

APPLAUSE

# I've been wanting you

# For so long it's a shame

# Oh, baby

# Every time I hear your name

# Oh, the pain

# Boy, how it hurts me inside

# Cos every time we meet

# We play hide and seek

# I'm wondering what I should do

# Should I, dear, come up to you

# And say, "How do you do?"

# Would you turn me away?

# You're as much to blame

# Cos I know you feel the same

# I can see it in your eyes

# But I've got no time

# To live this life

# No, I've got no time

# To play your

# Silly games

# Silly games

# Yet, in my mind I say

# "If he makes his move today"

# "I'll just pretend to be shy"

# Oh, baby

# It's a tragedy

# That you and me

# We don't even try

# You're as much to blame

# Cos I know you feel the same

# I can see it in your eyes

# But I've got no time

# To live this life

# No, I've got no time

# To play your

# Silly games. #

APPLAUSE

Silly Games, and I'm going to be playing silly games on these all

Friday night, which should be a lot of fun if I can keep standing up.

# Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

# Under the shade of the coolibah tree

# And he sang as he watched

# And waited till his billy boiled

# "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

# Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# And he laughed and he sang as he waited till his billy boiled

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong

# Up jumped the swagman and gobbled him with glee

# And he sang as he stuffed that jolly jumbuck in his tucker bag

# "You'll go a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# And he laughed and he laughed as he waited till his bill boiled

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred

# Down came the troopers One, two, and three

# "Where's that jolly jumbuck you've gobbled in your tucker bag?"

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# And he laughed and he sang as he waited till his bill boiled

# "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me"

# Up jumped the swaggie and jumped into the billabong

# "You'll never take me alive!" said he

# And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong

# "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"

# Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

# "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me",

# And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong

# "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"

# Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me". #

APPLAUSE

Right, it's time for Sting, Stewart Copeland

and Andy Summers, it's Police.

# I've called you so many times today

# And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say

# That you don't ever want to see me again

# And your brother's going to kill me and he's six feet ten

# I guess you'd call it cowardice

# But I'm not prepared to go on like this

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't

# I can't stand losing you

# I can't stand losing you

# I can't stand losing you

# I can't stand losing you

# I see you sent my letters back

# And my LP records, and they're all scratched

# I can't see the point in another day

# When nobody listens to a word I say

# You can call it lack of confidence

# But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I guess this is our last goodbye

# And you don't care, so I won't cry

# And you'll be sorry when I'm dead

# And all this guilt will be on your head

# I guess you'd call it suicide

# But I'm too full to swallow my pride

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing

# I can't, I can't, I can't stand losing... #

APPLAUSE

# Kid, what changed your mood?

# You've gone all sad so I feel sad too

# I think I know

# Some things we never outgrow

# You think it's wrong

# I can tell you do

# How can I explain

# When you don't want me to?

# Kid, my only kid

# You look so small

# You've gone so quiet

# I know you know

# What I'm about

# I won't deny it

# But you forgive

# Though you don't understand

# You've turned your head

# You've dropped my hand

# All my sorrow

# All my blues

# All my sorrow

# Shut the light

# Go away

# Full of grace

# You cover your face

# Kid, gracious kid

# Your eyes are blue

# But you won't cry

# I know angry tears

# Are too dear

# You won't let them go. #

Well, next, it's one of the year's most successful selling singles.

Cliff Richard's We Don't Talk Any More.

# Used to think that life was sweet

# Used to think we were so complete

# I can't believe you'd throw it away

Here's the highest new entry in the chart, from the irrepressible Boomtown Rats

and I Don't Like Mondays.

# The silicon chip inside her head

# Gets switched to overload

# And nobody's gonna go to school today

# She's gonna make them stay at home

# And Daddy doesn't understand it

# He always said she was good as gold

# And he can see no reasons

# Cos there are no reasons

# What reason do you need to be shown?

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

# I wanna shoot, ooh

# The whole day down

# The Telex machine is kept so clean

# And it types to a waiting world

# And Mother feels so shocked

# Father's world is rocked

# And their thoughts turn to their own little girl

# Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen

# Now that ain't so neat to admit defeat

# They can see no reasons

# Cos there are no reasons

# What reasons do you need?

# Oh oh oh whoa

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

# I wanna shoot, ooh

# The whole day down, down, down

# Shoot it all down

# And all the playing's stopped in the playground now

# She wants to play with the toys a while

# And school's out early and soon we'll be learning

# And the lesson today is how to die

# And then the bullhorn crackles

# And the captain tackles

# With the problems of the how's and why's

# And he can see no reasons

# Cos there are no reasons

# What reason do you need to die, die?

# Oh oh oh

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like, I don't like

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like, I don't like

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

-# Tell me why

-I don't like Mondays

# I wanna shoot, ooh

# The whole day down

# Ooh, ooh

# Ooh. #
