24/05/1979 Top of the Pops

Hello, and welcome to Top Of The Pops. This week's chart countdown

is to the music of McFadden and Whitehead.

SONG: "Ain't No Stopping Us Now"

APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Masquerade" by Skids

# Heavy armour fails

# The battle ground affairs

# Incitements all around

# Defeat shows through but no-one cares

# Arrange new attacks

# Demand a new decree

# Listen to the ploys

# Destroy them as they flee

# Holy to the high

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Fanfares in the sky

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Nurture battle scars

# Pardon none who dared

# Kindle and inspire

# Victory shows you cared

# Portray amid art

# Guernica is plaint

# Metal turning sham

# But victory is quaint

# Holy to the high

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Fanfares in the sky

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Heavy armour fails

# The battle ground affairs

# Incitements all around

# Defeat shows through but no-one cares

# Arrange new attacks

# Demand a new decree

# Listen to the ploys

# Destroy them as they flee

# Holy to the high

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Fanfares in the sky

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Holy to the high

# Masquerade, masquerade

# Fanfares in the sky

# Masquerade, masquerade... #

APPLAUSE

Great way to open the programme.

Exciting sounds from Skids and Masquerade. The week's second-most

popular number is from the ever-stylish Roxy Music

as they dance the night away...

SONG: "Dance Away"

# Yesterday

# Well, it seemed so cool

# When I walked you home

# Kissed good night

# I said it's love you said all right

# It's funny how

# I could never cry

# Until tonight

# And you pass by

# Hand in hand with another guy

# You're dressed to kill

# And guess who's dying?

# Dance away the heartache

# Dance away the tears

Dance away the heartache

# Dance away the tears

# Dance away

# Loneliness

# Is a crowded room

# Full of open hearts

# Turned to stone

# All together all alone

# All at once

# My whole world had changed

# Now I'm in the dark, off the wall

# Let the strobe light up them all

# I close my eyes and dance till dawn

# Dance away the heartache

# Dance away the tears

# Dance away the heartache

# Dance away the tears

# Dance away

# Dance away

# Dance away

# Now I know

# I must walk the line

# Until I find an open door

# Off the street, on to the floor

# There was I

# Many times a fool

# I hope and pray, but not too much

# Out of reach is out of touch

# All the way is far enough

# Dance away the heartache... #

APPLAUSE

One of the most extraordinary new bands I've seen in a long time

are this next act. They're called Tubeway Army

and this is their new single, Are Friends Electric?

# It's cold outside

# And the paint's peeling off of my walls

# There's a man outside

# In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

# Now the light fades out

# And I'm wondering what I'm doing in a room like this

# There's a knock on the door

# And just for a second I thought I remembered you

# So now I'm alone

# Now I can think for myself

# About little deals and issues

# Things that I just don't understand

# Like a white light that night

# Or a slight touch at times

# I don't think it meant anything to you

# So I open the door

# It's the friend that I'd left in the hallway

# Please sit down

# A candle lit shadow on a wall near the bed

# You know I hate to ask

# But are friends electric?

# Only mine's broken down

# And now I've no-one to love... #

APPLAUSE

An amazing sound from a band for the future. That's Tubeway Army.

Great stuff.

Here to keep the home fires burning tonight are Legs & Co

with the music of Donna Summer. It's Hot Stuff.

# Sittin' here eatin' my heart out waitin'

# Waitin' for some lover to call

# Dialled about a thousand numbers lately

# Almost rang the phone off the wall

# Lookin' for some hot stuff baby, this evenin'

# I need some hot stuff baby, tonight

# I want some hot stuff baby, this evenin'

# Got to have some hot stuff

# Got to have some love tonight

# I need hot stuff

# I want some hot stuff

# I need hot stuff

# Lookin' for a lover who needs another

# Don't want another night on my own

# Wanna share my love with a warm-blooded lover

# Wanna bring a wild man back home

# Got to have some hot love baby, this evenin'

# I need some hot stuff baby, tonight

# I want some hot stuff baby, this evenin'

# Got to have some lovin'

# Got to have love tonight

# I need hot stuff

# Hot love

# Lookin' for hot love... #

APPLAUSE

By way of a musical contrast

and just outside of this week's parade of hits,

comes this new release from Liner. It's called You And Me.

# You and me

# Could easily be

# Mm, together endlessly

# We'll be in love

# We could find

# Such a perfect state of mind

# That to leave would be unkind

# We'll be in love

# Love

# Doo

# Doo-doo

# Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

# Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

# If your heart is strong

# Then we can't go wrong

# Baby, can't you see

# If your heart is strong

# Then we can't go wrong

# Oh, baby, you and me

# Wait and see

# Said it's just like one, two, three

# In perfect harmony

# If your heart is strong

# Then we can't go wrong

# Oh, baby, can't you see

# If your heart is strong

# Then we can't go wrong

# Oh, baby, you and me

# You and me

# Simply could easily be

# Together endlessly

# If your heart is strong

# Then we can't go wrong

# Oh, baby, baby, baby can't you see

# If your heart is strong

# Then we can't go wrong

# Oh, baby, you and me... #

APPLAUSE

Well, it is springtime and here's another sort of love song.

This time from The Damned.

SONG: "Love Song"

THEY YELL

# I'll be the ticket you're my collector

# I've got the fare if you're my inspector

# I'll be the luggage you'll be the porter

# I'll be the parcel if you'll be my sorter

# Just for you here's a love song

# Just for you here's a love song

# And it makes me glad to say

# It's been a lovely day

# And it's OK

# I'll be the mail, you'll be the guard

# I'll be the ink on your season ticket card

# I'll be the rubbish you'll be the bin

# I'll be the paint on the sign if you'll be the tin

# Just for you here's a love song

# Just for you here's a love song

# And it makes me glad to say

# It's been a lovely day

# And it's OK

# Just for you here's a love song

# Just for you here's a love song

# And it makes me glad to say

# It's been a lovely day

# And it's OK

# It's OK

# It's OK. #

APPLAUSE

The Damned there and Love Song.

This is the Electric Light Orchestra and Shine A Little Love,

from their forthcoming album Discovery,

which is out next week, folks.

# Although the things you've done I wouldn't criticise

# I guess you had your way

# You see I've gotta make you understand

# I know it sounds a foolish thing to say

# But it don't matter, baby cos today's another day

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life and let me see

# Remember, tonight we're gonna run till dawn

# Remember, tonight we're gonna say

# We'll never stop, we got a good thing goin' on

# I know you've heard it all before

# But I really need you, darlin'

# Every day I need you more

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life and let me see

-# Can you understand?

-Yes, I understand

-# Can you feel it's right?

-I know it is

-# Will you be the same?

-I'll do it all again

# It's been a year now and it's getting so much better

# You came home without a word

# Though everybody said you'll soon forget her

# They couldn't see and they just didn't understand

# And lookin' in the mirror

# There were fools at either hand

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life and let me see

-# Can you understand?

-Yes, I understand

-# Can you feel it's right?

-I know it is

-# Will you be the same?

-I'll do it all again

# Ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah

# How many days had I been waiting there to tell you?

# I really can't believe

# We're walkin' out into the world tonight

# We'll do it all again until the break of light

# And the feelin' in your heart will soon be shinin' in your eyes

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life and let me see

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life

# You shine a little love on my life and let me see... #

Three cheers for the guys there. Guess it beats being an avocado.

Time for the house band right now, The Shadows are on Top Of The Pops

that Academy Award-winning film and the theme from.

APPLAUSE

Lovely stuff. Didn't I tell you we had a star-studded programme?

Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, and now Elvis Costello.

SONG: "Accidents Will Happen"

# Love doesn't wait for ever

# It's now or never

# But she keeps 'em hangin' on

# The silly champion

# She says she can't go home without a chaperon

# Accidents will happen

# We only hit and run

# You used to be a victim now you're not the only one

# Accidents will happen

# We only hit and run

# I don't want to hear it cos I know what I've done

# There's so many fish in the sea

# That only rise up on the sweat and smoke of mercury

# But they keep you hangin' on

# They say you're so young

# Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone

# Accidents will happen

# We only hit and run

# You used to be a victim now you're not the only one

# Accidents will happen

# We only hit and run

# I don't want to hear it cos I know what I've done

# It's the damage that we do we never know

# It's the words that we don't say that scare me so

#There's so many people to see

# So many people you can check up on

# And add to your collection

# But they keep you hangin' on

# Until you're well hung

# Your mouth is make up but your mind is undone

# Accidents will happen

# We only hit and run

# You used to be a victim now you're not the only one

# Accidents will happen

# We only hit and run

# I don't want to hear it cos I know what

# I know what I've

# I know what I've done

# I know

# I know

# I know

# I know

# I know

# I know

# I know. #

APPLAUSE

The Blondie success story just goes on and on and on.

From their former number one album Parallel Lines

and their follow up to their last single,

which was also a number one, comes their new one - Sunday Girl.

# I know a girl from a lonely street

# Cold as ice cream but still as sweet

# Dry your eyes, Sunday girl

# Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl

# Looks like he's in another world

# Run and hide, Sunday girl

# Hurry up, hurry up and wait

# I stay away all week and still I wait

# I got the blues, please come see

# What your loving means to me

# She can't catch up with the working crowd

# The weekend mood and she's feeling proud

# Live in dreams, Sunday girl

# Baby, I would like to go out tonight

# If I go with you my folks'll get uptight

# Stay at home, Sunday girl

# Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl

# Looks like he's in another world

# Run and hide, Sunday girl

# When I saw you again in the summertime

# If your love was as sweet as mine

# I could be Sunday's girl

# Hurry up, hurry up and wait

# I stay away all week and still I wait

# I got the blues, please come see

# What your loving means to me

# Hurry up

# Hurry up, hurry up and wait

# I got the blues, please

# Please come see

# What you do to me

# I got the blues

# Hurry up

# Hurry up, hurry up and wait

# Hurry up

# Please come see

# What you do to me. #
