21/10/76 Top of the Pops

'Ello, darlin'! And a warm, warm welcome to Top Of The Pops!

STEVE HARLEY: (I Believe) Love's A Prima Donna

# I should say by the way that you're acting today

# I can tell by the sigh in your eye

# I can sure understand By the palm of your hand

# That you know I'm so hot I could fry

# Because I've chased you, embraced you and turned round and faced you

# Crowned you the truth of my youth

# But you give me the line In the words of our time

# It's like living a stew That's what most lovers do

# Escaping the sun There's nowhere you can run

-# I believe

-I believe

-I believe

-I believe

# Love's a lover's honour

-# I believe

-I believe

-I believe

-I believe

# Love's a prima donna too

# I should have guessed by the rest of the men that you've blessed

# I'm only an eye for an eye

# But you wanted a part of my innocent heart

# I was only your ship in the night

# I should have knew, should have knew I was out just for you

# I believe in the power of the night

# But like a fool I was had Now it's driving me mad

# I was only a prize In your libertine eyes

# I had it coming to me I was too late to see

-# I believe

-I believe

-I believe

-I believe

# Love's a lover's honour

-# I believe

-I believe

-I believe

-I believe

# Love's a prima donna too

INSTRUMENTAL AND HARMONIES

# I could fight with the might Of a thief in the night

# I could kick I could tear at your hair

# I could break you in two Like a man ought to do

# But the woman I see Has a right to be free

# And the woman I need Is a mischievous breed

# Don't wanna live in a stew That's what most lovers do

# It's like escaping the sun There's nowhere you can run

-# I believe

-I believe

-I believe

-I believe

# Love's a lover's honour

-# I believe

-I believe

-I believe

-I believe

# Love's a prima donna too. #

APPLAUSE

There's our first one this evening on Top Of The Pops,

Steve Harley, Love's A Prima Donna, lovely guitar work in that.

Before you can say Cockney Rebel, that will be in the charts.

Welcome to Top The Pops, we've got something very special this evening in the programme, a competition.

Everyone watching this evening has a chance of winning the first prize.

More details later, but I want you to get a pencil and paper

in the next 15 to 20 minutes when I'll have those details for you.

Lots of good records, lovely people on the show,

and what better next, number two in the charts,

Demis Roussos, When Forever Has Gone.

APPLAUSE

# When you lie close to me

# My heart is a flame

# Just the brush of your lips

# And I call out your name

# Then I rest in your arms

# And I know that you are true

# But you still understand

# That's the mystery of you

# We will be for ever

# We'll go on and on

# We will be together

# When forever has gone

# When I'm weak, you are strong

# When I fall, you go on

# You will still be with me

# When my other friends have gone

# Yet you cry like a child

# And it breaks me in two

# You are all things to me

# That's the mystery of you

# We will be for ever

# We'll go on and on

# We will be together

# When forever has gone

# We will be forever

# We'll go on and on

# We will be together

# When for ever has gone. #

APPLAUSE

Demis Roussos there at number two, a lovely song. Mums and dads

watching this evening might recognise these two faces because

they are two of the daughters of the Beverley Sisters, Teddi and Joy.

Here's Paul Nicholas and Dancing With The Captain.

Everybody dancing away here in the studio. Don't forget those pencils and paper because we've got

the competition coming up in a few minutes, lots of good sounds and sights this evening.

Lot of you saw that marvellous documentary on HMS Ark Royal.

Here's Rod Stewart, no change for him, still at number three and Sailing.

# I am sailing, I am sailing

# Home again across the sea

# I am sailing stormy waters

# To be near you, to be free

# I am flying, I am flying

# Like a bird 'cross the sky

# I am flying, past them high clouds

# To be near you, to be free

# Can you hear me?

# Can you hear me?

# Through the dark night far away

# I am dying, forever crying

# To be with you, who can say

# Can you hear me?

# Can you hear me?

# Through the dark night far away

# I am dying

# Forever crying

# To be with you

# Who can say

# We are sailing, we are sailing. #

Back to music now on Top Of The Pops

and here's John Miles and Remember Yesterday.

# Misty silence of the early morning

# All around another day is dawning

# Goodbyes ain't easy

# So no-one sees me when I go

# Only time is gonna last forever

# Just remember what we had together

# I must be leavin'

# And I can't even let it show

# I am on my way

# Remember yesterday

# Lose your memory In a thousand places

# Disappearing in a sea of faces

# Always lonely

# I live the only way I know

# Holding on until I don't remember

# Early mornings Back in late September

# Now you're behind me

# The clouds remind me I'm alone

# I am on my way

# Remember yesterday

# My mind must be the gypsy

# That keeps me movin' on

# My heart must be the only thing

# That's callin' me back home

# My memories are souvenirs

# And all there is to show

# For someone who's been everywhere

# I got no place to go

# Lose your memory In a thousand places

# Disappearing in a sea of faces

# Always lonely

# I live the only way I know

# Holding on until I don't remember

# Early mornings Back in late September

# Now you're behind me

# The clouds remind me I'm alone

# Naa-na na-na na-na Naa-na na-na

# Naa-na na-na Na-na naa-na na-na

# Ohh-oh. #

APPLAUSE

That was the Average White Band and Queen of my Soul.

Quite a soul feeling this evening.

Gonna Get It Right and here we have the Climax Blues Band!

# Time was drifting This rock had got to roll

# So I hit the road And made my getaway

# Restless feeling Really got a hold

# I started searching For a better way

# And I kept on looking for a sign In the middle of the night

# But I couldn't see the light

# No, I couldn't see the light

# I kept on looking for a way To take me through the night

# Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right

# Philly fever made me feel all right

# But I must admit It got the best of me

# Gettin' down so deep I could've drowned

# Now I can't get back The way I used to be

# So I kept on looking for a sign In the middle of the night

# But I couldn't see the light

# No, I couldn't see the light

# I kept on looking for a way To take me through the night

# Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right

# New York City took me with the tide

# And I nearly died from hospitality

# Left me stranded Took away my pride

# Just another no-account fatality

# I kept on looking for a sign In the middle of the night

# But I couldn't see the light

# No, I couldn't see the light

# Kept on looking for a way To take me through the night

# Couldn't get it right Couldn't get it right

# I kept on looking for a sign In the middle of the night

# But I couldn't see the light

# No, I couldn't see the light

# Kept on looking for a way To take me through the night. #

APPLAUSE

The Climax Blues Band, number 22 with that one.

Right. Thank you. Here's the address for those competition entries

to name our new Top of the Pops group.

There it is again, in case you missed it before:

It's time to introduce our number one. Who better

than the number one boxer in Britain and in Europe, Joe Bugner?

APPLAUSE

It's nice to be on the show.

Hi, Joe. Off you go, your chance to be a DJ.

-Pussycat and Mississippi.

-Very good.

There we are, see you next week on Top Of The Pops, bye!

APPLAUSE

# Where you can hear the country song from far

# And someone play the honky-tonk guitar

# Where all the lights Will go out one by one

# The people join the song

# And the wind takes it away

# Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea

# And lovers found the place They like to be

# How many times before The song was ending

# Love and understanding

# Everywhere around

# Mississippi

# I'll remember you

# Whenever I should go away

# I'll be longing for the day

# That I will be in Greenville again

# Mississippi

# You'll be on my mind

# Every time I hear this song

# Mississippi roll along

# Until the end of time

# Now the country song Forever lost its soul

# When the guitar player Turned to rock 'n' roll

# And every time When summer nights are falling

# I always will be calling

# Dreams of yesterday

# Mississippi

# I'll remember you

# Whenever I should go away

# I'll be longing for the day

# That I will be in Greenville again

# Mississippi

# You'll be on my mind

# Every time I hear this song

# Mississippi roll along

# Until the end of time

# Every time I hear this song

# Mississippi roll along

# Until the end of time. #
