22/09/1983 Top of the Pops

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello, chums, welcome to Top Of The Pops.

Listen, it's bad enough us having to work together on the radio

in the mornings, but we're stuck with each other on

-Top Of The Pops now as well.

-Looks like it'll be

a good evening, though. Here's our first on Top Of The Pops.

It's Howard Jones' New Song, for the very first time, over there.

# 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

# Oh

# 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

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# 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

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# Don't crack up

# Bend your brain

# See both sides

# Throw off your mental chains

# Ooh, ooh, ooh

# 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

# Ooh, ooh, ooh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Howard Jones, all the way from High Wycombe.

David Bowie had a number one with Let's Dance,

a number two with China Girl, and this one's gone straight

into the top ten. This is Modern Love.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-DAVID BOWIE:

-I know when to go out and when to stay in.

Get things done.

# I catch the paper boy

# But things don't really change

# I'm standing in the wind, but I never wave bye-bye

# But I try

# I try

# There's no sign of life

# It's just the power to charm

# I'm lying in the rain

# But I never wave bye-bye

# But I try

# I try

-# Never gonna fall for

-Modern love

-# Walks beside me

-Modern love

-# Walks on by

-Modern love

# Gets me to the church on time

# Church on time

-# Terrifies me

-Church on time

# Makes me party

# Church on time

# Puts my trust in God and man

# God and man

-# No confessions

-God and man

-# No religion

-God and man

# Don't believe in modern love

# It's not really work

# It's just the power to charm

# Still standing in the wind

# But I never wave bye-bye

# But I try

# I try

-# Never gonna fall for

-Modern love

-# Walks beside me

-Modern love

-# Walks on by

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

At the last reckoning on Top Of The Pops, we reckon

that Hot Chocolate have had 1,823 hits.

Here's the latest one, it's called Tears On The Telephone.

# What do the lonely do on Sundays?

# What do they do?

# Does nobody care?

# Do they make it through to Mondays?

# Or with a heart filled with pain, do they just disappear?

# I tried so hard to play it real cool, girl

# When you said I was out of your heart

# I tried so hard to keep my true feelings inside

# But you made me cry

-# Tears on the telephone

-It's tears

# Tears on the telephone

# You made me cry

# Tears on the telephone

# How could you just out of the blue

# Say you and I are through, you found someone new?

# How could you, when you know that this heart of mine

# Can't live without you?

# What do the lonely do on Mondays?

# What do they do?

# Now I know that it's true

# Cos I tried all night on Sunday

# To get back to you

# But you're not taking no calls

# I told you that I didn't care

# When you said we were through

# I'd found someone new

# I heard myself saying

# Girl, I can live without you

# But you made me cry

-# Tears on the telephone

-It's tears

# Tears on the telephone

# You made me cry

# Tears on the telephone

# Oh, tears

# You made me cry tears

# What do the lonely do on Sundays?

# What do they do for the rest of the week?

# Cos the pain is never-ending

# And there just ain't no way I can take any more

# I tried so hard to play it real cool, girl

# When you said I was out of your heart

# I tried so hard to keep my true feelings inside

# But you made me cry

-# Tears on the telephone

-It's tears

# Tears on the telephone

-# Tears on the telephone

-It's tears

# Tears on the telephone

-# Tears on the telephone

-It's tears. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hot Chocolate, they haven't missed a year in the chart since 1970.

In 1981, Toyah had four hits, in 1982, three hits,

and she's still having them. Here's her new one, Rebel Run.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Praying to the silent man

# A new day dawns behind acetylene tanks

# A dog's lament wakes the new age

# But falls in splintered fragments around his cage

# Like everyone, they said there'd be

# So much more to 1984

# Rebel run, don't shoot your gun

# Rebel run, run, run, run

# Now get down and stay down

# You've gotta learn to kiss the ground

# You see a city, we'll watch it fall

# We're the hobos of planet patrol

# Lean machines colliding out of control

# Rebel run, don't shoot your gun

# Rebel run, run, run, run

# Now get down and stay down

# You've gotta learn to kiss the ground

# You bring me the air

# I'll bring you laughter

# Tell me tales

# Ever after

# And we'll rise unseen

# In the shadows within your dreams

# Rebel run, don't shoot your gun

# Rebel run, run, run, run

# Now get down and stay down

# You've gotta learn to kiss the ground. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Toyah's in France tonight performing with Laurence Olivier.

There's a band called Alarm, and they were touring in the States

two days ago, when a traffic cop stopped them with a telegram

from Top Of The Pops, saying,

"You've got to be on, Thursday night."

Here they are, with their new single, 68 Guns.

# And now they're trying to take my life away

# Forever young, I cannot stay

# Hey

# On every corner I can see them there

# They don't know my name They don't know my kind

# They're after you

# With their promises

# Promises

# They're after you to sign your life away

# Yeah, oh

# 68 guns, we'll never die

# 68 guns, our battle cry

# 68 guns, we'll never die

# 68 guns, our battle cry

# 68 guns

# 68 guns

# 68

# For living in the backstreets that's our home from home

# The painted walls are all we've ever known

# "The Guns Forever" that's our battle cry

# It is the flag that we fly so high

# For every day they try and drag us down

# Drag us down

# I cry with anger "I have done no crime"

# 68 guns will never die

# "68 guns" our battle cry

# 68 guns will never die

# "68 guns" our battle cry

# 68 guns

# 68 guns

# 68 guns

# 68 guns will never die

# "68 guns" our battle cry

# 68 guns will never die

# "68 guns" our battle cry

# 68 guns

# 68 guns

# 68 guns! #

Alarm with 68 Guns. That's terrific.

In one of the music papers recently, Nick Heyward was voted the

best-dressed guy ahead of people like Tony Hadley and John Taylor.

Here he is with a new single Blue Hat For A Blue Day.

# Did you say it's all over?

# It was me, not a whisper

# The marriage is over

# Was it me or my heart?

# Justify all affection

# Beyond recollection

# I was fine in Virginia

# Guess it's true what I said

# Wake up, get up, get out, break up

# Just say goodbye for today

# I'm wearing my blue hat for a blue day

# Is all we need

# Please, my love

# Release the things that I touch

# Please, my girl

# Release the story of love

# Swim with love

# Don't lose that magical part of you

# My sweet blue girl

# You're heading to lose your blue hat for a blue day

# Is all we need

# A blue hat for a blue day is all we need

# But you can't understand what I hold in my hand

# It's only... God, how I miss you

# My blue times that rain so hard

# But you can't understand what I hold in my hand

# It's only... God, how I miss you

# My blue times that came so hard

# Blue for you

# Blue for you

# Did you say it's all over?

# Leaving for Minnesota

# The marriage is over

# Was it me or my heart?

# Please, my love

# Don't lose the story of love

# Blue hat for a blue day is all we need

# A blue hat for a blue day is all we need

# A blue hat for a blue day

# A blue hat for a blue day

# Blue day

# Blue day

# Blue day

# Blue-u-u

# Blue

# Day. #

He must be the only man on Top Of The Pops tonight wearing

a waistcoat. That's Nick Heyward and Blue Hat For A Blue Day.

It's great to see Status Quo back in the charts after, what, 24 years?

Here's Ol' Rag Blues. Back again!

# When you look into a mirror

# Tell me what do you see?

# Is it pictures of Lily crying?

# Do you know what I mean?

# I've been livin' high

# I've been livin' low

# Like a bird in the sky

# This is the way to go

# What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear?

# What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues?

# What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# Did you think it was forever?

# Well, now you know

# The summer sun keeps shining

# Shine through the blue

# I've been livin' high

# I've been livin' low

# Never give up tryin'

# Oh, no, no, no

# What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear?

# What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues?

# What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear?

# Ol' rag blues

# Ol' rag blues

# For you?

# The wind in my hair

# And the black in my eyes

# I was holding back tears

# As I reeled with surprise

# There was no-one to phone

# I just chewed at the time

# I was waving goodbye

# To control of my mind

# And the beat of my heart

# Marks the passing of time

# And I just wanna scream to the sky

# There are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings

# I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside

# I go looking for lies

# In your play-the-game eyes

# But I couldn't find the way out

# The wheres or the whys

# Should I laugh? Should I cry?

# Should I live? Should I die?

# It's a wild celebration of feelings inside

# And the beat of my heart

# Marks the passing of time

# And I just wanna scream to the sky

# And there are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings

# I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside

# And the beat of my heart

# Marks the passing of time

# And I just wanna scream to the sky

# And there are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings

# I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside

# And the beat of my heart

# Marks the passing of time

# And I just wanna scream to the sky

# And there are times when my mind is an explosion of feelings

# I'm trying to hold on to the soul inside

# To the soul inside

# Inside it's a wild celebration of feelings inside

# It's a wild

# It's a wild

# It's a wild celebration of feelings inside

# And it's tearing me

# And it's tearing me up

# And it's tearing me up

# And it's tearing me up

# It's a wild

# It's a wild celebration of feelings inside

# It's a wild

# It's a wild celebration of feelings inside

-BOTH:

-Hey, I know, why don't we count down the charts

from ten to two?

At number ten, What Am I Gonna Do from Rod Stewart.

Status Quo are back in the charts at number nine, with Ol' Rag Blues.

A new entry at number eight, Modern Love from David Bowie.

Modern Romance still climbing, with Walking In The Rain at number seven.

ITALIAN ACCENT: Ryan Paris and Dolce Vita at number six.

No accent at number five but it's Mama by Genesis.

Following up his number one, Paul Young's Come Back And Stay

is at number four.

Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack - Tonight I Celebrate My Love -

at number three this week.

And at number two - UB40 and Red Red Wine.

So, my little Breakfast Show star, what's at number one?

Well, judging by the fact that Culture Club are standing

right over there, it must be Karma Chameleon.

# Desert loving in your eyes all the way

We'll both see you on Radio 1 in the morning.

Frightening thought actually. But you're busy in a couple of weeks,

-aren't you, on television?

-Yes.

Saturday Superstore starts nine o'clock in the morning

-a week on Saturday.

-And we'll go out on Top Of The Pops on Hot Streak.

See you next week, BBC One, same time. Good night.
