20/06/1985 Top of the Pops

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, may I be the first to bid you a fond welcome to Top Of The Pops.

In other words, Janice is basically saying, "Hi, how you doing?"

What's on the show tonight, Jan?

-Well, we've got Harold whatshis... uh...

-Faltermeyer?

-Yeah.

-We've got China, uh...

-Crisis?

-And we've got Mai...

-Tai?

And we've got Sting, as well!

And a fine bunch of young, upstanding men first.

In other words, to get us underway, here are the Fine Young Cannibals!

# Nobody knows the trouble you feel

# Nobody cares, the feeling is real

# Johnny, we're sorry

# Won't you come on home?

# We worry, won't you come on?

# What is wrong in my life

# That I must get drunk every night?

# Johnny, we're sorry

# Use the phone, call your mum

# She's missing you badly, missing her son

# Who do you know, where will you stay?

# Big city life is not what they say

# Johnny, we're sorry

# Won't you come on home?

# We worry, won't you come on?

# What is wrong in my life

# That I must get drunk every night?

# Johnny, we're sorry

# You'd better go, everything's closed

# Can't find a room, money's all blown

# Nowhere to sleep, out in the cold

# Nothing to eat, nowhere to go

# Johnny, we're sorry

# Won't you come on home?

# We worry, won't you come on?

# What is wrong in my life

# That I must get drunk every night?

# Johnny

# We're sorry, won't you come on home?

# We worry, won't you come on home? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, the Fine Young Cannibals and Johnny Come Home!

I think Roland Gift's voice is just, like, brilliant.

At 28, it's Sting - If You Love Somebody Set Them Free.

# Free, free, set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# If you need somebody, call my name

# Free, free, set them free

# If you want someone, you can do the same

# Free, free, set them free

# If you want to keep something precious

# You got to lock it up and throw away the key

# Set them free

# If you want to hold on to your possession

# Don't even think about me

# Set them free

# If you love somebody

# If you love someone

# If you love somebody

# If you love someone

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes

# Or a whipping boy, someone to despise

# Or a prisoner in the dark

# Tied up in chains you just can't see

# Or a beast in a gilded cage

# That's all some people ever want to be

# If you love somebody

# If you love someone

# If you love somebody

# If you love someone

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# You can't control an independent heart

# Can't tear the one you love apart

# Can't love what you can't keep

# Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live

# We can't live here and be happy with less

# With so many riches, so many souls

# With everything we see that we want to possess

# If you need somebody, call my name

# If you want someone, you can do, you can do, you can do the same

# If you want to keep something precious

# You got to lock it up and throw away the key

# If you want to hold on to your possession

# Don't even think about me

# If you love somebody

# If you love someone

# If you love somebody

# If you love someone, set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free

# Free, free, set them free

# Set them free. #

APPLAUSE

That is brilliant, Sting, and If You Love Somebody.

Well, at number nine in the charts this week, three girls who've flown over from Holland

just to be on Top Of The Pops tonight.

They are Mai Tai, this is History.

# Our love is history

# I'm gonna burn the letters you were sending me

# Our love is history

# But he took my love away

# You don't say

# Our love is history

# I'm gonna burn the letters you were sending me

# Our love is history

# I'm gonna burn the letters you were sending me

# When you're gonna fall in love

# There's nothing you can do about it

# When you're gonna fall in love

# Don't you beat around the bush

# A cold stone

# I've learned my lesson

# The day I found myself alone

# Why did you do it?

# Now don't you try to deny it

# When you're gonna fall in love

# Better let it get to you

# When it got to loving

# You were never there

# All that I could do was dream

# When I need some hugging

# You never ever cared

# Did you have to be that mean?

# Gonna burn them all Gonna burn the letters

# I'm gonna burn the letters you were sending me

# Our love is history

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, Mai Tai and History!

-If that doesn't make you dance, nothing will.

-OK, I'm glad you stopped there!

-Tell you what we're going to do now...

-Yes?

What she's trying to say is, goodnight.

-You dancing?

-Are you asking?

-Yeah!

# Colourful people

# Whose hair on one side

# Is swept back

# The smile on their faces

# It speaks of profound inner peace

# Ask where they're going

# They'll tell you nowhere

# They've taken a lifetime lease

# On Paisley Park

# The girl on the seesaw is laughing

# For love is the colour

# This place imparts

# Paisley Park

# Admission is easy

# Just say you believe

# And come to this place

# In your heart

# Paisley Park is in your heart

# There is a woman

# Who sits all alone

# By the pier

# Her husband was naughty

# And caused his wife so many tears

# He died without knowing forgiveness

# And now she is sad

# So sad

# Maybe she'll come to the park

# And forgive him

# And life won't be so bad

# In Paisley Park

# The girl on the seesaw is laughing

# For love is the colour

# This place imparts

# Paisley Park

# Admission is easy

# Just say you believe

# And come to this place in your heart

# Paisley Park is in your heart

# See the man cry

# As the city condemns where he lives

# Memories die

# But taxes he'll still have to give

# Whoever said that elephants

# Were stronger than mules

# Come to the park and play with us

# There aren't any rules

# In Paisley Park

# The girl on the seesaw is laughing

# For love is the colour

# This place imparts in your heart

# Admission is easy

# Just say you believe

# And come to this place in your heart

# Paisley Park is in your heart. #
