20/07/1978 Top of the Pops

Good evening! Time once again to face the music on Top of the Pops! Here's Gladys Knight and the Pips.

# Come back and finish what you started

-# And don't leave me hangin' on

-Hangin' on

# Come back and finish what you started

# Don't leave me hangin' on, no

# You planted seeds of love in my heart

# With all the tender words you said at the start

# But love is something that you shouldn't begin

# If you're not gonna see it through to the end

# Come back and finish what you started

# Oh, and don't leave me hangin' on

# Come back and finish what you started

-# And don't leave me hangin' on

-Hangin' on

# A taste of honey is a dangerous thing

# After it's gone the memories cling... #

Don't turn me off - turn it up!

# For once in my life I've got something to say

# I wanna say it now For now is today

# Life has been given to grab and enjoy

# So let's all grab and let's all enjoy

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# Just take a look around you What do you see

# Kids with feelings Like you and me

# Understand him He'll understand you

# For you are him and he is you

Come on! # If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

GUITAR SOLO

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# I don't wanna be rejected

# I don't wanna be denied

# And it's not my misfortune

# That I've opened up your eyes

# Freedom is given to speak how you feel

# I have no freedom How do you feel

# They can lie to my face But not to my heart

# If we stand together This will just be the start

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# If the kids are united

# They will never be divided

# If the kids are united

# Then they'll never be divided

# If the kids are united They will never... #

That's my record of the week this week on Radio One. Sham 69, If The Kids Are United.

From punk to funk, it's A Taste of Honey and Mr Boogie Oogie Oogie.

# If you're thinking you're too coo-ool to boogie

# Boy, oh, boy have I got news for you

# Everybody here tonight must boogie

# Let me tell you You are no exception to the rule

# Get on up on the floor

# Cos we're gonna boogie oogie oogie 'Til you just can't boogie no more

# Baby, boogie no more

# You can't boogie no more

# Oh, boogie no more

# Listen to the music

# There's no time to waste Let's get this show on the road

# Listen to the music and let your body flow

# The sooner we break down the longer we've got to groove

# Oh, listen to the music and let your body move

# Music feelin' good

# Get on up on the floor

# Cos we're gonna boogie oogie oogie 'Til you just can't boogie no more

# Baby, boogie no more

# You can't boogie no more

# Boogie no more

# Listen to my bass, yeah... #

A delicious Taste of Honey at number 10 with Boogie Oogie Oogie.

This is Justin Hayward from Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds and Forever Autumn.

# The summer sun is fading as the year grows old

# And darker days are drawing near

# The winter winds will be much colder

# Now you're not here

# I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky

# And one by one they disappear

# I wish that I was flying with them

# Now you're not here

# Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

# Like a leaf on a breeze you blew awa-a-a-y

# Through autumn's golden gown we used to kick our way

# You always loved this time of year

# Those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Like the sun through the trees you came to love me

# Like the leaf on a breeze

# You blew awa-a-a-ay

# A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes

# As if to hide a lonely tear

# My life will be forever autumn

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here

# Cos you're not here. #

One of the nice things for me on tonight's show is so many girls.

You're The One That I Want, still there at number one. Unfortunately, time has run out on us this week,

so we've got to say good night. I'll leave you with A Little Piece of Soap. Scrub up until next week.

# A little piece of soap will wash away your lipstick on my face

# A little bit of soap will never Never, never, ever erase

# The pain in my heart and my eyes

# As I go through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# A little bit of soap will take away

# Your powder from my chin

# A little bit of soap will never Never, never, ever begin

# To take away the hurt that I feel

# As I go through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# Have you heard When love begins to die

# And he isn't one to cry night and day

# Like a bird You left the robin's nest

# And just like all the rest you flew away

# Ooh, a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually

# A little bit of soap will never wash away the memory

# Of your name in the night That I call through the lonely years

# A little bit of soap will never wash away my tears

# No, I'll never lose the memory of your name... #
