APPLAUSE

Hello, welcome to Top Of The Pops. Isn't it hot?

We've got some great stuff tonight.

Duran Duran and Echo And The Bunnymen.

And what's more, were live from

Studio 6 at Television Centre.

And to prove it, here's Sandie Shaw with The Smiths, and Hand In Glove.

# Hand in glove

# The sun shines out of our behinds

# No, it's not like any other love

# This one's different because it's us

# Hand in glove We can go wherever we please

# And everything depends upon

# How near you stand to me

# And if the people stare Then the people stare

# Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

# Hand in glove The good people laugh

# Yes, we may be hidden by rags

# But we have something they'll never have

# Hand in glove

# The sun shines out of our behinds

# Yes, we may be hidden by rags

# But we have something they'll never have

# And if the people stare Then the people stare

# Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care

# So, hand in glove I'll stake my claim

# I'll fight to the last breath

# If they dare touch a hair on your head

# I'll fight to the last breath

# For the good life is out there somewhere

# So stay on my arm because you're charming

# But I know my luck too well

# Yes, I know my luck too well

# And I'll probably never see you again

# I'll probably never see you again

# No, I'll probably never see you again. #

APPLAUSE

Sandie Shaw with The Smiths and Hand In Glove.

Some great movie themes around at the moment.

Footloose is coming up the charts and here's Phil Collins.

Number one in America,

here he's number two with the theme from Against All Odds.

# How can I just let you walk away

# Just let you leave without a trace?

# When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh-ooh

# You're the only one who really knew me at all

# How can you just walk away from me

# When all I can do is watch you leave?

# Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain

# And even shared the tears

# You're the only one who really knew me at all

# So take a look at me now

# Well there's just an empty space

# And there's nothing left here to remind me

# Just the memory of your face

# Ooh take a look at me now

# Well there's just an empty space

# And you coming back to me is against the odds

# And that's what I've got to face

# I wish I could just make you turn around

# Turn around and see me cry

# There's so much I need to say to you

# So many reasons why

# You're the only one who really knew me at all

# So take a look at me now

# Well there's just an empty space

# And there's nothing left here to remind me

# Just the memory of your face

# Now take a look at me now

# Cos that's just an empty space

# But to wait for you is all I can do

# And that's what I've got to face

# Take a good look at me now

# Cos I'll still be standing here

# And you coming back to me is against all odds

# It's the chance I've got to take

# Take a look at me now. #

APPLAUSE

# The reflex!

# The reflex! The reflex!

# The reflex-ex-ex!

# You've gone too far this time

# And I'm dancing on the valentine

# I tell you somebody's fooling around

# With my chances on the danger line

# I'll cross that bridge when I find it

# Another day to make my stand, oh-oh

# High time is no time for deciding

# If I should find a helping hand, oh-oh

# Why don't you use it?

# Try not to bruise it?

# Buy time, don't lose it

# Why don't you use it?

# Try not to bruise it?

# Buy time, don't lose it

# The reflex is a lonely child

# Who's waiting by the park

# The reflex is a door to finding

# Treasure in the dark

# And watching over lucky clover

# Isn't that bizarre?

# 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 round-about

# I sold the radio and TV set

# Don't want to be around when this gets out

# So, why don't you use it?

# Try not to bruise it?

# Buy time, don't lose it

-# Wh-y-y...

-Yeah!

-# Wh-y-y...

-Yeah!

# Wh-y-y don't you use it?

# The reflex is a lonely child

# Who's waiting in the park

# The reflex is a door to finding

# Treasure in the dark

# And watching over lucky clover

# Isn't that bizarre?

# Every little thing the reflex does

# Leaves you answered with a question mark

# So, wh-y-y don't you use it?

# Try not to bruise it?

# Every little thing the reflex does

# Leaves me answered with a question mark... #

APPLAUSE

And I reckon that that one could be number one next week.

Remember that Julio Iglesias guy?

He's teamed up with another guy by the name of Willie Nelson.

They've come up with this one,

and it's called To All The Girls I've Loved Before.

# To all the girls I've loved before

# Who've travelled in and out my door

# I'm glad they came along I dedicate this song

# To all the girls I've loved before

# To all the girls I once caressed

# And may I say, I've held the best

# For helping me to grow, I owe a lot, I know

# To all the girls I've loved before

-BOTH:

-# The winds of change are always blowing

# And every time I tried to stay

# The winds of change continued blowing

# And they just carried me away

# To all the girls who shared my life

# Who now are someone else's wife

# I'm glad they came along I dedicate this song

# To all the girls I've loved before

# To all the girls who cared for me

# Who filled my nights with ecstasy

# They live within my heart I'll always be a part

# Of all the girls I've loved before

-BOTH:

-# The winds of change are always blowing

# And every time I tried to stay

# The winds of change continued blowing

# And they just carried me away

# To all the girls we've loved before

# Who travelled in and out our doors

-# We're glad they came along

-We dedicate this song

-BOTH:

-# To all the girls we've loved before

# To all the girls we've loved before

# Who travelled in and out our doors

# We're glad they came along

# We dedicate this song

# To all the girls we've loved

# Before. #

Now, that's what they call slushy.

Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson together.

The story behind that song is that Willie Nelson's wife

actually heard Julio Iglesias on the radio

and thought, "He's the man to do a duet with my husband."

# Bailed out my worst fears

# Cos man has to be his own saviour

# Blind sailors, imprisoned jailers

# God tame us, no-one to blame us

# The sky is blue, my hands untied

# You're living proof at my fingertips

# Walked on a tidal wave

# Laughed in the face of a brand-new day

# Food for survival thought

# Mapped out the place where I planned to stay

# All the way, well behaved

# Just in case it slips away

The last time you were a free man,

the Brooklyn Dodgers were still the Brooklyn Dodgers

and Eisenhower was your President.

Laura?

Amanda's intrigued with Billy Boy.

Billy Boy, ask Amanda for a date.

We could go to the Paramount, maybe?

There is no more Brooklyn Paramount.

It's been taken over by some college.

Or the Alby?

That's gone, too.

You're a regular Rip Van Winkle, aren't you?

# I've been alone with you inside my mind

# And in my dreams I've kissed your lips

# A thousand times... #

It's been a long time since I've been on a date.

# I sometimes see you pass outside my door

# Hello

# Is it me you're looking for?

# I can see it in your eyes

# I can see it in your smile

# You're all I've ever wanted

# And my arms are open wide

# Cos you know just what to say

BELL TRILLS

# And you know just what to do

# And I want to tell you so much

# I love you... #

BELL TRILLS

It's OK.

# I long to see the sunlight in your hair... #

Hi, Laura.

# And tell you time and time again

# How much I care

# Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

# Hello

# I've just got to let you know

# Cos I wonder where you are

# And I wonder what you do

# Are you somewhere feeling lonely?

# Or is someone loving you?

# Tell me how to win your heart

# For I haven't got a clue

# But let me start by saying... #

It doesn't work for you.

# I love you

-Too many memories, too many ghosts.

-It's what I know.

This and the can.

We could go to Florida, or we could go out west.

What are you telling me...

PHONE RINGS

Hello?

Mr Reynolds?

Excuse me, but there's something going on in the sculpture class.

I think you ought to check it out.

I've wanted you to see it so many times.

But I finally think it's done.

Tell me what you think of it.

-Oh, it's wonderful.

-This is how I see you.

# Hello

# Is it me you're looking for? #

APPLAUSE

That was Lionel Richie with Hello,

We shall leave you with The Pointer Sisters and Automatic. Bye-bye.

Goodnight.

# Look what you're doing to me
