This is Howard Jones and What Is Love?

# I love you whether or not you love me

# I love you even if you think that I don't

# What is love anyway?

# Does anybody love anybody anyway?

# What is love anyway?

# Does anybody love anybody anyway?

# Never worry never be sad

# The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can

# This is why I don't mind you doubting

# What is love anyway?

# Does anybody love anybody anyway?

# What is love anyway?

# Does anybody love anybody anyway?

# Whoa

# Whoa

# Whoa-ooh

# And maybe love is wishing everyone a Merry Christmas

# The door always must be left unlocked

# To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you

# And not to spend the time just doubting

# What is love anyway?

# Does anybody love anybody anyway?

# What is love anyway?

# Does anybody love anybody anyway?

# Whoa

# The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark

# And watching over lucky clover, isn't that bizarre?

# And every little thing the reflex does

# Leaves you answered with a question mark

# I'm on a ride and I want to get off

# But they won't slow down the roundabout

# I sold the Renoir and TV set

# Don't wanna be around when this gets out

# So, why don't you use it?

Duran Duran.

Right now, you're going to see Nik Kershaw and

I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

# 40 winks in the lobby, make mine a G&T

# Then to our favourite hobby, searching for an enemy

# Here in our paper houses

# Stretching for miles and miles

# Old men in stripy trousers Rule the world with plastic smiles

# Good or bad, like it or not

# It's the only one we've got

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# Mother Nature isn't in it

# Three hundred million years

# Goodbye in just a minute,

# Gone forever, no more tears

# Pinball man, power glutton, vacuum inside his head

# Forefinger on the button, is he blue or is he red

# Break your silence if you would

# Before the sun goes down for good

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me

# I won't let the sun go down

# I won't let the sun go down on me. #

And now, Culture Club with The War Song.

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And love means nothing

# In some strange quarters

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And I heard them banging

# On hearts and fingers

# War

# People fill the world

# With narrow confidence

# Like a child at birth

# A man with no defence

# What's mine's my own

# I won't give it to you

# No matter what you say

# No matter what you do

# Now we're fighting in our hearts

# Fighting in the streets

# Won't somebody help me

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And love means nothing

# In some strange quarters

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And I heard them banging

# On hearts and fingers

# War

# Man is far behind

# In the search for something new

# Like a Philistine

# We're burning witches too

# This world of fate

# Must be designed for you

# It matters what you say

# It matters what you do

# Now we're fighting in our hearts

# Fighting in the streets

# Won't somebody help me

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And love means nothing

# In some strange quarters

# War war war war war

# War war war war war

# War war war war war

# War war war war war

# War war war war war

# After the bird has flown

# He walked 10,000 miles back home

# You can't do that to me, no

# You can't do that to me

# You can't do that to me, no

# You can't do that to me

# War

# War

# In this heart of mine

# I'll find a place for you

# For black or white

# For all the children, too

# Now we're fighting in our hearts

# Fighting in the streets

# Won't somebody help me

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And love means nothing

# In some strange quarters

# War, war is stupid

# And people are stupid

# And I heard them banging

# On hearts and fingers

-# No more war

-War, war is stupid

-# Said no more war

-And people are stupid

-# Said war

-And love means nothing

# In some strange quarters

-# I said war

# Said no more war. #

And now, the lovable social workers, The Thompson Twins

with Doctor Doctor, woo!

# I saw you there

# Just standing there

# And I thought I was only dreaming, yeah

# I kissed you then

# Then once again

# You said you would come and dance with me

# Dance with me

# Across the sea

# And we can feel the motion of a thousand dreams

# Doctor! Doctor!

# Can't you see I'm burning, burning

# Oh Doctor! Doctor!

# Is this love I'm feeling?

# Ships at night

# Give such delight

# But we all leave before the morning light

# Please don't go

# No, please don't go

# Cos I don't want to stay here on my own

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Doctor! Doctor!

# Can't you see I'm burning, burning

# Oh Doctor! Doctor!

# Is this love I'm feeling?

# Doctor! Doctor!

# Can't you see I'm burning, burning

# Fever lay your hands on me

# Never be the same

# Oh Doctor! Doctor!

# Can't you see I'm burning, burning

# Oh Doctor! Doctor!

# Is this love I'm feeling?

And now here's Jim Diamond, with I Should Have Known Better.

# And I should have known better

# To lie to one as beautiful as you

# Yeah, I should have known better

# To take a chance on ever losing you

# But I thought you'd understand

# Can you forgive me

# I saw you walking by the other day

# I know that you saw me, you turned away

# And I was lost

# You see, I've never loved no-one as much as you

# I've fooled around but tell me now

# Just who is hurting who

# And I should have known better

# To lie to one as beautiful as you

# Yeah, I should have known better

# To take a chance on ever losing you

# But I thought you'd understand

# Can you forgive me

# I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

# Should have known better

# I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I

# Should have known better

# It's true, I took our love for granted all along

# And trying to explain where I went wrong

# I just don't know

# I cry but tears don't seem to help me carry on

# Now there is no chance you'll come back home

# Got too much pride

# And I should have known better

# To lie to one as beautiful as you

# Yeah, I should have known better

# To take a chance on ever losing you

# But I thought you'd understand

# Can you forgive me

# Ooh yeah

# I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I love you

# I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I love you

# No-no-no-no-no-no, I love you

# No-no-no-no-no-no, yeah

# And I should have known better

# To lie to one as beautiful as you. #

And right now, we're really going to wake you up with Paul Young

and his Love Of The Common People.

# Living on free food tickets

# Water in the milk

# From a hole in the roof

# Where the rain came through

# What can you do? Mmm

# Tears from your little sister

# Crying because she doesn't have a dress

# Without a patch for the party to go

# But you know she'll get by

# Cause she's living

# In the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# Ah, ah, yeah

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you

# Just as much as she can

# So cold

# And she can

# It's a good thing you don't have bus fare

# It's a good thing, ouch

# It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it

-# In the snow on the ground

-Ow, ah, ah, yeah

# You gotta walk into town to find a job

# What's it now?

-# Trying to keep your hands warm

-It's so cold

# When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through

-# And chill you to the bone

-Brrr, cha

# Somehow you'd better go home where it's warm

# Where you can live in a love of the common people

# Smile from the heart of a family man

# Ah, ah, yeah

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you

# Just as much as she can

# So cold

# And she can

# Living on a dream ain't easy

# But the closer the knit

-# The tighter the fit

-The closer the knit

-# And the chills stay away

-Ow, ah, ah, yeah

# Just to take 'em in stride for family pride

# You know that faith is your foundation

-# Ooh, now, ooh, now, ooh, now

-With a whole lotta love

# And a warm conversation

# But don't forget to pray

# Forget to pray

# Just making it strong where you belong

# And we're living

# In the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# What's it now?

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you Just as much as she can

# You're so cold

# And she can

# Yes, we're living

# In the love of the common people

# Smile's from the heart of a family man

# Ah, ah, yeah

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you

-# Just as much as she can

-You're so cold

# Living in the love of the common people

# Smiles from the heart of a family man

# What's it now?

# Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

# Mama's gonna love you

# Just as much as she can

# You're so cold

# Living in the love of the common people

And over to the nice, quiet boys in the dressing room next to me,

Duran Duran and this is Wild Boys.

# Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys

# Wild boys

# Wild

# Wild

# Boys

# The wild boys are calling

# On their way back from the fire

# In August moon's surrender to

# A dust cloud on the rise

# Wild boys fallen far from glory

# Reckless and so hungered

# On the razor's edge you trail

# Because there's murder by the roadside

# In a sore afraid new world

# They tried to break us,

# Looks like they'll try again

-# Wild boys never lose it

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never chose this way

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never close your eyes

-Wild boys

# Wild boys always shine

# You got sirens for a welcome

# There's bloodstain for your pain

# And your telephone been ringing while

# You're dancing in the rain

# Wild boys wonder where is glory

# Where is all you angels

# Now the figureheads have fell

# And lovers war with arrows over

# Secrets they could tell

# They tried to tame you

# Looks like they'll try again

-# Wild boys never lose it

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never chose this way

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never close your eyes

-Wild boys

# Wild boys always shine

# Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys

# Wild boys, wild boys, wild boys

-# Wild boys never lose it

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never chose this way

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never close your eyes

-Wild boys

# Wild boys always

-# Wild boys never lose it

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never chose this way

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never close your eyes

-Wild boys

# Wild boys always

-# Wild boys never lose it

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never chose this way

-Wild boys

-# Wild boys never close your eyes.

Well, I'm afraid he's missing out on a great deal tonight, but here he is -

George Michael with a Careless Whisper.

# Whoa-oh-oh

# Oh

# I feel so unsure

# As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor

# As the music dies, something in your eyes

# Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes

# I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm

# Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool

# I should have known better than to cheat a friend

# And waste a chance that I'd been given

# So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you

# Oh-oh

# Time can never mend

# The careless whispers of a good friend

# To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind

# There's no comfort in the truth, pain is all that you'll find

# I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm

# Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool

# I should have known better than to cheat a friend

# And waste a chance that I'd been given

# So I'm never gonna dance again, the way I danced with you

# Never without your love

# Tonight the music seems so loud

# I wish that we could lose this crowd

# Maybe it's better this way

# We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

# We could have been so good together

# We could have lived this dance forever

# But now who's gonna dance with me?

# Please stay...

# I'm never gonna dance again, guilty feet have got no rhythm. #

# It's Christmas time

# There's no need to be afraid

# At Christmas time

# We let in light and we banish shade

# And in our world of plenty

# We can spread a smile of joy

# Throw your arms around the world

# At Christmas time

# But say a prayer

# Pray for the other ones

# At Christmas time it's hard

# But when you're having fun

# There's a world outside your window

# And it's a world of dread and fear

# Where the only water flowing

# Is the bitter sting of tears

# And the Christmas bells that ring there

# Are the clanging chimes of doom

# Well, tonight thank God it's them

# Instead of you

# And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time

# The greatest gift they'll get this year is life

# Oooh

# Where nothing ever grows

# No rain or rivers flow

# Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

# Here's to you

# Raise a glass for everyone

# Here's to them

# Underneath that burning sun

# Do they know it's Christmas time at all?

# Feed the world

# Feed the world

# Feed the world

# Let them know it's Christmas time again

# Feed the world

# Let them know it's Christmas time again

# Feed the world

# Let them know it's Christmas time again

# Feed the world

# Let them know it's Christmas time again

# Feed the world

# Let them know it's Christmas time again

# Feed the world. #
