20/10/1983 Top of the Pops

Hello, good evening. A very warm welcome to Top Of The Pops.

-And here's Janice.

-And we've got some great things in the show.

Depeche Mode, Howard Jones and Freeez.

But at number 24,

it's Love Will Find A Way from David Grant.

# You're so distant now

# You're on the screen

# Thinking you're a star

# And changing your name

# Could you have my soul much emptier

# But you've arrived to find there's no-one there

# But I know Love will find a way

# To bring you back to me

# Love will find a way

# And time will make you see

# I've seen the photographs

# Of you looking cool

# And you are known to all as nobody's fool

# But it's becoming clear your act's a lie

# And you're just looking for a place to hide

# But I know Love will find a way

# To bring you back to me

# Love will find a way

# And time will make you see

# You're living on a cloud

# And everything you do is to impress the crowd

# But don't you go to far

# Or you'll forget who you really are

# And when you give them all you have to give

# If the feeling you once had still lives

# I know that Love will find a way

# To bring you back to me

# Love will find a way

# And time will make you see

# Love will find a way

# Love will find a way

# Love will find a way... #

APPLAUSE

Wow. Hey, you, the Rock Steady Crew.

Howard Jones is going into the studio on Sunday

to record his first album.

But he's here tonight, with Jed, of course,

because he's at number three with New Song.

# I've been waiting for so long

# To come here now and sing this song

# Oh don't be fooled by what you see

# Don't be fooled by what you hear

# This is a song to all of my friends

# They take the challenge to their hearts

# Challenging preconceived ideas

# Saying goodbye to long-standing fears

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains

# I don't wanna be hip and cool

# I don't wanna play by the rules

# Not under the thumb of the cynical few

# Or laden down by the doom crew

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains

# I've been waiting for so long

# To come here now and sing this song

# Don't be fooled by what you see

# Don't be fooled by what you hear

# This is a song to all of my friends

# They take the challenge to their hearts

# Challenging preconceived ideas

# Saying goodbye to long-standing fears

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains. #

APPLAUSE

Howard Jones there, at number

three on the chart this week with New Song.

Now, Billy Joel's latest single, he says,

is a tribute to the Four Seasons.

But, fellas, if you're looking at the lady, forget it -

it's his girlfriend.

# Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh

# Uptown girl

# She's been living in her uptown world

# I bet she's never had a backstreet guy

# I bet her momma never told her why

# I'm gonna try for an uptown girl

# She's been living in her white bread world

# As long as anyone with hot blood can

# And now she's looking for a downtown man

# That's what I am

# And when she knows what she wants

# From her ti-i-ime

# And when she wakes up

# And makes up her mi-i-ind

# She'll see I'm not so tough

# Just because

# I'm in love with an uptown girl

# You know I've seen her in her uptown world

# She's getting tired of her high class toys

# And all the presents from her uptown boys

# She's got a choice

# Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh

# Uptown girl

# You know I can't afford to buy her pearls

# But maybe someday when my ship comes in

# She'll understand what kind of guy I've been

# And then I'll win

# And when she's walking

# She's looking so fi-i-ine

# And when she's talking

# She'll say that she's mi-i-ine

# She'll say I'm not so tough

# Just because

# I'm in love

# With an uptown girl

# She's been living in her white bread world

# As long as anyone with hot blood can

# And now she's looking for a downtown man

# That's what I am

# Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

# Uptown girl

# She's my uptown girl

# You know I'm in love

# With an uptown girl

# My uptown girl

# You know I'm in love

# With an uptown girl

# My uptown girl

# You know I'm in love

# With an uptown girl... #

APPLAUSE

Billy Joel and Uptown Girl.

Right, Numanoid fans, this one is for you, because Gary Numan,

he's back in the charts. He's at number 36 with Sister Surprise.

# We are

# Walking nostalgia

# Like old movies for real

# Look at me look at you

# Look at them look at us

# I'm young

# Sell a slim body to the man next door

# Sell a slim body to the man next door

# Like my sister surprise

HE AD LIBS

HE AD LIBS

HE AD LIBS

Freeez, and Pop Goes My Love.

Elton John's been doing really great things in the charts this year,

and I bet he wishes Watford were doing as well.

But he's back, and he's at number 30 with Kiss The Bride.

# Well she looked a peach in the dress she made

# When she was still her mama's little girl

# And when she walked down the aisle everybody smiled

# At her innocence and curls

# And when the preacher said Is there anyone here

# Got a reason why they shouldn't wed?

# I should have stuck up my hand

# I should have got up to stand

# And this is what I should have said

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# Long before she met him

# She was mine mine mine

# Don't say I do

# Say bye bye bye

# And let me kiss the bride Yeah!

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# Underneath her veil I could see a tear

# Trickling down her pretty face

# And when he slipped on the ring I knew everything

# Would never be the same again

# But if the groom would have known he'd have had a fit

# About his wife and the things we did

# And what I planned to say

# Yeah on her wedding day

# Well I thought it but I kept it hid

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# Oh I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# Long before she met him

# She was mine mine mine

# Don't say I do

# Say bye bye bye

# And let me kiss the bride Yeah!

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah!

# I wanna kiss the bride Yeah! #
