24/09/1981 Top of the Pops

Lock up your daughters!

Just 35 minutes away from Britain's number one.

Welcome to Top Of The Pops with a good loud start from Slade

right over here.

# Yeah, yeah, yeah!

# Sometimes you're acting the fool

# Sometimes you're breaking the rules

# Sometimes you want to run away

# Sometimes you stay out of school

# But it's a dirty old town and you know where it's where we all belong

# Tell your mama back home cos she was just the same when she was young

# I want to give you some advice

# Lock up your daughters right now

# It will give you a smile on your face

# Lock up your daughters somehow

# This is the time, the time and the place

# Yeah, yeah, yeah!

# Sometimes you whip up a storm

# Don't get to bed until dawn

# Sometimes you get a little high

# You'll wish you'd never been born

# Well it's a crazy old world Everybody's got to get along

# Tell your mama back home cos she was just the same when she was young

# I tell you right now

# Lock up your daughters right now

# It will give you a smile on your face

# Lock up your daughters somehow

# This is the time, the time and the place

# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

# Lock up your daughters right now

# It will give you a smile on your face

# Lock up your daughters somehow

# This is the time, the time and the place

# Lock up your daughters right now

# It will give you a smile on your face

# Lock up your daughters somehow

# This is the time, the time and the place. #

APPLAUSE

That is Slade back on form with Lock Up Your Daughters.

Ask your mum, or even your grandparents, about Nat King Cole

and they will tell you he had a great hit called Pretend.

So did Alvin Stardust in 1981. It goes like this...

# Pretend you're happy when you're blue

# It isn't very hard to do

# And you will find happiness without an end if you pretend

# Remember any one can dream

# And nothing's bad as it may seem

# The little things you haven't got

# Could be a lot if you pretend

# You'll find a love you can share

# One you can call your own

# Just close your eyes and you'll be there

# You'll never be alone

# And if you sing this melody

# You'll be pretending just like me

# The world is mine It can be yours, my friend

# So why don't you pretend?

RIFF

# You'll find a love you can share

# One you can call your own

# Just close your eyes and you'll be there

# You'll never be alone

# And if you sing this melody

# You'll be pretending just like me

# The world is mine, It can be yours, my friend

# So why don't you pretend?

# So why don't you pretend?

# So why don't you pretend?

Alvin Stardust at number five.

A full chart rundown a little later on.

Now then, it seems like only yesterday since New Life came out.

Here is the new single from Depeche Mode.

Just Can't Get Enough over here.

# When I'm with you baby I go out of my head

# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# All the things you do to me and everything you said

# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# We slip and slide as we fall in love

# And I just can't seem to get enough of

# We walk together We're walking down the street

# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# Every time I think of you I know we have to meet

# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# It's getting hotter It's a burning love

# And I just can't seem to get enough of

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# And when it rains you're shining down for me

# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# Just like a rainbow you know you set me free

# And I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# You're like an angel and you give me your love

# And I just can't seem to get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough... #

APPLAUSE

That's it, Depeche Mode and here is a gentleman called Dave Stewart

who specialises in making oldies sound like something out of 1981.

The lady with him is Barbara

and listen to what they do with It's My Party.

# Sigh I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

# But Judy left the same time

# Why was he holding her hand

# When he's supposed to be mine?

# It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you

# Play all my records keep dancing all night

# But leave me alone for a while

# Till Johnny's dancing with me

# I've got no reason to smile

# It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you... #

SPOKEN: Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone

But Judy left the same time

So I cry, cry, cry

I want to...

Cry...if I want to

Cry, cry, cry

If I want to

# Judy and Johnny just walked through the door

# Like a queen with her king

# Oh, what a birthday surprise

# Judy's wearing his ring

BELLS PEAL

# It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you

# It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you

# It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

# Cry if I want to Cry if I want to

# You would cry too if it happened to you. #

APPLAUSE

Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin. It's my party.

Talking of sad songs, try the lyrics on this one.

If you haven't listened, try Linx

for the real, real sad story of romance.

# I've got a note from my cousin the other day

# He said his lady had gone on a holiday

# He thought she'd be back in a week or so

# But that was more than two months ago

# So this is romance

# So this is romance

# They'd been together, devoted through thick and thin

# He really thought she would love no-one else but him

# But now he doesn't think she's being fair

# To be having so much fun with him not there

# So this is romance

# So this is romance

# In her last letter she was water-skiing

# And she has learned to drive a car

# A gigolo bearing the name Romero

# Takes her for evenings in a cocktail bar

# So this is romance

# You don't stand a chance

# He felt mistreated but what could he say?

# This was her idea of a holiday

# So he decided he'd go out and bring her home

# Till he found out she got married the week before

# Sorry I had no time to let you know

# But can I pour you a drink before you go?

# So this is romance So this is romance. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There's Linx - and here are the voices of Diana Ross

and Lionel Richie, and Lulu and Jeremy.

# My love There's only you in my life

# The only thing that's bright

# My first love

# You're every breath that I take

# You're every step I make

-# And I

-I-I-I-I-I

-# I want to share

-All my love with you

# No-one else will do.

# And your eyes Your eyes, your eyes

# They tell me how much you care

# Ooh yes, you will always be

# My endless love

# Two hearts Two hearts that beat as one

# Our lives have just begun

-# Forever

-Oh-oh-oh

# I'll hold you close in my arms

# I can't resist your charms

-# And love

-Oh, love

# I'll be a fool for you

# I'm sure

# You know I don't mind

# Oh, you know I don't mind

# Cos you

# You mean the world to me

# Oh

-# I know

-I know

# I've found in you

# My endless love

# Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Lulu and Jeremy. And that's all slightly unromantic.

Now then, here's a single that isn't new

and a band that's been around for a while.

But with a single hit, it's Japan and Quiet Life over here.

# Boys, now the times are changing the going could get rough

# Boys, would that ever cross your mind?

# Boys, are you contemplating moving out somewhere?

# Boys, will you ever find the time?

# Here we are stranded

# Somehow it seems the same, beware

# Here comes the quiet life again

# Boys, now the country's only miles away from here

# Boys, do you recognise the signs?

# Boys, when these driving hands push against the tracks

# Boys, it's too late to wonder why

# Here we are stranded

# Somehow it seems the same, beware

# Here comes the quiet life again

# Now, as you turn to leave Never looking back

# Will you think of me?

# If you ever, could it ever stop?

# Oh-oh-oh

# The quiet life. #

It's Heaven 17 on Top Of The Pops!

# Smiles of fortune, no man master Play to win and break the bank

# Play to win

# Turn professional, know your job

# Be up to every trick

# Make a breakthrough Strain your eyes

# Have no secrets, hear no lies

# Play to win

# And then he said

# Have no secrets

# Hear no lies

# Play to win

# And then he said

# Have no secrets

# Hear no lies

# Play to win

# One needs a great deal more than this

# Make a master plan

# Tension mars the prettiest face

# Sex in fairyland

# Play to win

# How can you improve your life

# Obtain the unobtainable?

# Boost your health A giant refreshed

# Treat rough, get tough, 10-10

# Play to win

# And then he said

# Play to win

# Did you take a back-seat

# When your kids were small?

# Suit the movement to the word

# Reverse and check the action

# Play to win

# Now suit the action to the word

# Make every minute count

# Match in cunning, see the cars

# Step on the heels of chance

# Play to win

# And then he said

# Have no secrets

# Hear no lies... #

That's Heaven 17 and Play To Win. It's in the lower region

of the charts at the moment but keep an eye on it because it may move.

Imagination. Right, we've got two more new entries for you

on this week's Top Of The Pops, but now let's take a look at the charts.

We've looked at 30 to 21, so it's logical, carry on

in the order we're meant to carry on in. Number 20.

And it's no change for Buck's Fizz with One Of Those Nights.

Hand Held In Black And White - Dollar are up to 19.

Linx, you've seen them, and they're up to 18 with So This Is Romance.

Stars on 45 Part 3 for Star Sound is up at 17,

but down go The Rolling Stones to 16 with Start Me Up.

The Human League are down as well with Love Action

and down to 14 go ELO with Hold On Tight.

Japanese Boy and Aneka are down to number 13

and up to position number 12, Hi-Gloss and You'll Never Know.

Godley And Creme are up to number 11 with Under Your Thumb

and here's one of those new entries -

at 22, it's Madness and Shut Up.

# I tell you I didn't do it cos I wasn't there

# Don't blame me, it just isn't fair

# You listened to their side Now, listen to mine

# Can't think of a story Sure you'll find me sometime

# Now, pass the blame and don't blame me

# Just close your eyes and count to three

# One, two, three

# Then I'll be gone and you'll forget

# The broken window, TV set

# It wasn't me, either I'm just his mate

# He told me to stand here and watch the gate

# I've got a wife and three kids, you know

# They'll tell you I'm straight At least, I think so

# I'm as honest as the day is long

# The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong

# Now, pass the blame and don't blame me

# Just close your eyes and count to three

# One, two, three

# Then I'll be gone and you'll forget

# The broken window, TV set

# Pass the blame and don't blame me

# Just close your eyes and count to three

# One, two, three

# Then I'll be gone and I'll forget

# That what you give is what you get

# Pass the blame and don't blame me

# Just close your eyes and count to three

# One, two, three

# Then I'll be gone and you'll forget

# The broken window, TV set

# Pass the blame and don't blame me... #

APPLAUSE

Now, then, 30 minutes or 35 minutes ago, I promised you the number one.

It's coming up,

right after we've looked at the top ten today in the UK.

"Give me a slow hand" from The Pointer Sisters -

they're at number ten this week.

And a new entry for the Police - it's Invisible Sun.

After last week's Top Of The Pops, The Tweets have made it

to number eight with The Birdie Song.

And Diana Ross and Lionel Richie have climbed with Endless Love.

But down goes Cliff Richard and Wired For Sound to number six.

Alvin Stardust is up to five with Pretend,

but down goes Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark with Souvenir.

Ottowan's Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)

is up to number three and, same as last week,

Soft Cell's at number two with Tainted Love, which means,

with a bang and a yell, it's Adam and the Ants,

number once again with Prince Charming.

# Ridicule is nothing to be scared of. #

So, Prince Charming's number one again.

I would reckon it's number one next week, unless it's this thing

that we're going out with on Top Of The Pops - The Police.

Goodnight, see you next week with Invisible Sun.

# Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say

# I don't wanna spend my time in hell

# Looking at the walls of a prison cell

# I don't ever want to play the part

# Of a statistic on a government chart

# There has to be an invisible sun

# It gives its heat to everyone

# There has to be an invisible sun

# That gives us hope when the whole day's done

# It's dark all day and it glows all night

# Factory smoke and acetylene light

# I face the day with my head caved in

# Looking like something that the cat brought in

# There has to be an invisible sun

# It gives its heat to everyone

# There has to be an invisible sun

# That gives us hope when the whole day's done... #
