# Now why do you think

APPLAUSE

# I've come across the desert to greet you with a smile

# My camel looks so tired it's hardly worth my while

# To tell you of my travels across the golden east

# I see your preparations

# Invite me first to feast

# Take me, I'm yours

# Because dreams are made of this

# Forever there'll be

# A heaven in your kiss

# Amusing belly dancers distract me from my wine

# Across Tibetan mountains are memories of mine

# I've stood some ghostly moments with natives in the hills

# Recorded here on paper

# My chills and thrills and spills

# Take me, I'm yours

# Because dreams are made of this

# Forever there'll be

# A heaven in your kiss

# It's really been some welcome you never seem to change

# A grape to tempt your leisure romantic gestures strange

# My eagle flies tomorrow it's a game I treasure dear

# To seek the helpless future

# My love, at last, I'm here

# Take me, I'm yours

# Because dreams are made of this

# Forever there'll be

# A heaven in your kiss. #

Fantastic.

Take Me I'm Yours, that is Squeeze at number 22 in the chart.

Dan Hill has something just slightly gentler.

It's called Sometimes When We Touch and it's at number 13. Here it is.

# You ask me if I love you

# And I choke on my reply

# I'd rather hurt you honestly

# Than mislead you with a lie

# And who am I to judge you

# On what you say or do

# I'm only just beginning

# To see the real you

# And sometimes when we touch

# The honesty's too much

# And I have to close my eyes and hide

# I want to hold you till I die

# Till we both break down and cry

# I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

# Romance and all its strategy

# Leaves me battling with my pride

# But through the insecurity

# Some tenderness survives

# I'm just another writer

# Still trapped within my truth

# A hesitant prize fighter

# Still trapped within my youth

# And sometimes when we touch

# The honesty's too much

# And I have to close my eyes and hide

# I want to hold you till I die

# Till we both break down and cry

# I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

# At times I'd like to break you

# And drive you to your knees

# At times I'd like to break through

# And hold you endlessly

# And sometimes when we touch

# The honesty's too much

# And I have to close my eyes and hide

# I want to hold you till I die

# Till we both break down and cry

# I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides. #

APPLAUSE

-Fabulous. Did you like it?

-CHEERING

# There is something goin' down and I can feel it

# On the waves of the air

# I got higher in my walkin'

# And I'm glowin' in the dark I give you warnin'

# And that sweet city woman she moves through the light

# Controlling my mind and my soul

# Livin' on the music so fine

# Borne on the wind... #

# You know it'll work all right

# Baby, be good, do what you should

# You know it'll be all right

# You know it'll be all right

# Lady, be good, do what you should

# You know it'll work all right

# I think that I am upside down

# Lady, be good, do what you should

# You know it'll be all right

# Baby, be good, do what you should

# You know it'll work all right

# I thought that you were my friend

# Here we go again

# How does it feel to be in love

# How does it feel to be in love? #

APPLAUSE

# A crimson autograph

# Is what we leave behind

# Just about everywhere everywhere man set foot

# The warmongers are laughing loud

# Behind a painted face

# They just throw titbits to the crowd

# Then they're blowing up the place

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord don't ask me questions, please

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, ain't no answer in me

# Well, I stand up for liberty

# But I can't liberate

# Pent up agony

# I see you take first place

# Well, who does this treachery

# I shout with bleeding hands

# Is it you or is it me

# Well, I never will understand

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord don't ask me questions, please

# No, no, no, no, no

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, ain't no answer in me

# Who waves his mighty hands

# And breaks the precious rules

# Well, the same one got to understand

# Who wasted all these fools

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord don't ask me questions, please

# No, no, no, no, no

# Hey, Lord, don't ask me questions

# Hey, Lord, don't ask... #

# Cos she's good for me

# And it would really make me happy

# To never let her slip away

# I feel like a kid with a teenage crush

# On a school date

# On a school date

# I feel like the lead in Romeo and Juliet

# Yeah

# I'm a little bit dizzy I'm a little bit scared

# I guess I never felt this much aware

# That I love her

# I'm hoping that I never recover

# Cos she's good for me

# And it would really make me happy

# To never let her slip away

# I really only met her about a week ago

Evening all.

APPLAUSE

It's number one again for the third week running,

Brian and Michael and Matchstalk Men.

# He painted Salford's smokey tops

# On cardboard boxes from the shops

# Parts of Ancoats where I used to play

# I'm sure he once walked down our street

# Cos he painted kids who had nowt on their feet

# The clothes they wore had all seen better days

# Now they said his works of art were dull

# No room all round the walls are full

# Lowry didn't care much anyway

# They said he just paints cats and dogs

# And matchstalk men in boots and clogs

# And Lowry said that's just the way they'll stay

# And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

# He painted kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

# Now he takes his brush and he waits

# Outside them factory gates

# To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

# Now canvas and brushes were wearing thin

# When London started calling him

# To come on down and wear the old flat cap

# They said tell us all about your ways

# And all about them Salford days

# Is it true you're just an ordinary chap

# And he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

# He painted kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

# Now he takes his brush and he waits

# Outside them factory gates

# To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

# Now Lowrys hang up on the wall

# Beside the greatest of them all

# Even the Mona Lisa takes a bow

# This tired old man with hair like snow

# Told northern folk it's time to go

# The fever came and the good Lord mopped his brow

# And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

# He left us kids on the corner of the street that were sparking clogs

# Now he takes his brush and he waits

# Outside them Pearly Gates

# To paint his matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs

# And he left us matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs... #

APPLAUSE

Congrats to Brian and Michael,

at number one again with Matchstalk Men, Cats And Dogs.

That's just about it from Top Of The Pops. Hope you've enjoyed it

as much as we have here. I'll see you on Radio One, 12:50pm on Sunday,

and another edition of Top Of The Pops next week. Have a good night.

Bye-bye from everyone here. Bye, everyone!

# Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money

# I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey

# Step on the thin ice lightly

# And check out the show twice nightly

# Oh, cos I

# I'm on the stage tonight

# And if the price is right

# I will amaze before the light

# I crave the light, mmm blinding white

# I need the light tonight... #
