26/08/76 Top of the Pops

If we don't get on with this,

I won't be home for Top Of The Pops.

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Mad men, drummers, bummers, Indians in the summer

# With a teenage diplomat

# In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps

# His way into his hat

# With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older

# I tripped the merry-go-round

# With this very unpleasin' sneezin' and wheezin'

# The calliope crashed to the ground

# The calliope crashed to the ground

# But she was blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Some silicone sister with a manager mister

# Told me I got what it takes

# She said, "I'll turn you on, sonny, to something strong

# "Play the song with the funky break"

# And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart

# To see if it was safe outside

# And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly

# And asked me if I needed a ride

# The calliope crashed to the ground

# But she was blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# Revved up like a deuce Another runner in the night

# Blinded by the light

# She got down but she never got tired

# She's gonna make it

# Through the night. #

What a sensible way to get Top Of The Pops underway.

That's Manfred Mann's Earth Band and they were Blinded By The Light.

Stop whatever you're doing, particularly if you're doing that!

At this juncture, you definitely Should Be Dancing with The Bee Gees.

# My baby moves at midnight

# Goes right on till the dawn

You definitely should be dancing and if you weren't,

I want a note from your mother explaining why.

The Bee Gees at number six and Ruby Flipper

and we'll be having a bit of Flip and Ruby later on.

In the meantime, it's obvious, for months and months, he said his resistance was low,

so after a while, he had to succumb and start doing it.

Robin Sarstedt.

# Let's fall in love

# Why shouldn't we fall in love?

# Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance

# Why be afraid of it?

# Let's close our eyes

# And make our own paradise

# Little we know of it, still we can try

# To make a go of it

# We might have been meant for each other

# To be or not to be

# Let our hearts dis-co-ver

# Let's fall in love

# Why shouldn't we fall in love?

# Now is the time for it, while we are young

# Let's fall in love

# Let's fall in love

# Why shouldn't we fall in love

# Our hearts are made of it, let's take a chance

# Why be afraid of it?

# Sing it, girls

# Let's close our eyes

# And make our own paradise

# Little we know of it, still we can try

# To make a go of it

# We might have been meant for each other

# To be or not to be,

# Let our hearts dis-co-ver

# Let's fall in love

# Why shouldn't we fall in love?

# Now is the time for it, while we are young

# Let's fall in love. #

What a beautiful song, what lovely words, and if you really like lyrics,

if you like a love song and you like to see somebody singing words

and really making them meaningful, just listen to this next song.

APPLAUSE

Isn't that sad? That's Acker Bilk -

with the bowler hat - the one with the white dress was Sidney from Ruby Flipper,

and that was Aria.

This is the Chi-Lites and You Don't Have To Go.

APPLAUSE

# You don't have to go

# You just want to see me go through changes

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# You bring out what's deep in me

# When my body flows with energy

# Well, well, well

# My mind gets so weak

# You make me pout just like a child

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# The height of my masculinity

# Begins to get the best of me

# The best of me

# Yeah

# Make yourself ready

# Cos the night is just beginning

# Going to the moon

# On a trip that has no ending

# No, no, no

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# You just keep on teasing me

# Till I feel your love all over me

# Well, well, well

# You don't have to go

# You just want to see me in a fever

# Oh, don't you, baby

# Oh, don't you, baby?

# The height of my masculinity

APPLAUSE

Absolutely delightful creatures on that film. That's You Don't Have To Go.

Take your cycle clips off, settle down.

The Chi-Lites, followed by highlights,

fashion highlights from the autumn collection of Hardy Amies.

Just look what the well-dressed exhibitionist

is going to be wearing in the coming months.

Note the silver wellies, and the see-through jodhpurs.

# Morning glory

# This is a true life story

# Someone came along

# Stole away the night

# That's all right

# No more sorrow

# I ain't gonna worry about tomorrow

# I'm just so thankful being where I am

# And I am

# Oh, what a feeling

# It's better than a medicine for healing

# Just let your heartstrings blow in the wind

# You'll never leave

# This is a message from me inside

# That everything's gonna be all right

# Morning glory

-# Oh, what a feeling

-Feeling

# Morning glory

# This is a true life story

# Someone came along

# Stole away the night

# That's all right

# No more sorrow

# I ain't gonna worry about tomorrow

# I'm just so thankful

# Being where I am

# And I am

# Oh, what a feeling

# It's better than a medicine... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ruby Flipper getting well and truly mixed up in

James & Bobby Purify's hit Morning Glory.

Old Cliff Richard is absolutely amazing,

I never know how he manages to keep those creases in his jeans.

Incredible. How do you do it, Cliff?

# Oh, baby

# You could have been a bad girl

# Wasted all my time

# You could have got me mad, girl

# Made me lose my mind

# But you did what you had to do

# Every word you said to me was true

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you

# It makes me very proud, baby

# To know that you're my girl

# I want to say it loud, baby

# Want to tell the world

# That you did what you had to do

# And every word you said to me was true

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you

# I got everything a man could need

# I feel just like a slave that has been freed

# I won't cry myself to sleep no more

# Cos I've found the love that I've been looking for

# Oh, baby

# Now I don't have a problem

# Cos I know who I am

# You see, I lost my only problem

# When you made me your man

# Cos you did what you had to do

# Every word you said to me was true

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you

# No, baby

# You gave me what I asked for

# I can't ask for any more than you

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

# Woo-hoo

# Woo-hoo

# Can't ask for anything more than you, babe

# Can't ask for anything more than you

# Can't ask for anything more than you. #

APPLAUSE

I'm sitting this one out.

My Radio 1 dancing shoes are hurting.

That's the incredible Cliff Richard.

When you meet some people in this business,

quite often they don't turn out to be as pleasant as you imagine.

However our next two guests on Top Of The Pops

are even more unpleasant than you can ever imagine human beings being.

In fact, they must be two of the most awful guys...

The music's all right, but they as individuals...

# I watch the distant lights go down the runway

# Disappear in to the evening sky

# Oh, you know I'm with you on your journey

# Never could say goodbye

# You waken in another country

# Greet the morning under foreign skies

# Leaving me to face another Monday

# It's not easy to get by

# It's not the place you're going to

# It's just the phase you're going through

# Though I won't stop you

# I don't want you to break away

# Fly across your ocean

# Break away

# Time has come for you

# Break away

# Fly across your ocean

# Break away

# Time has come

# Now you travel on your own opinion

# Leave your fears and doubts to fade away

# Lost your dreams and take them on your journey

# Spread your wings and fly away

# It's not the sun you're trying to find

# Something else is on your mind

# You need a little space and time

# To break away

# It's not the place you're going to

# It's just the phase you're going through

# Though I won't stop you

# I don't want you to break away

# Fly across your ocean

# Break away

# Time has come for you

# Break away

# Fly across your ocean

# Break away

# Time has come

# For you. #

APPLAUSE

Beautiful. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Breaking away that was Gallagher and Lyle with...

Oh, oh. Great, that's from them, is it? Oh.

Oh, they're not so bad after all. Quite nice fellas.

Now, Kiki Dee and Elton John have been at the top now for five weeks

-and we can't show the same film over...

-Yes!

-We can't!

-Yes!

-Yes!

They say that!

We wanted to dance, didn't we? We wanted to dance.

We're going to dance. I'm not going to dance, they're going to dance.

# Don't go breaking my heart

# I couldn't if I tried

# Oh, honey, if I get restless

# Baby, you're not that kind

# Don't go breaking my heart

# You take the weight off of me

# Oh, honey, when you knocked on my door

# Oh, I gave you my key

-BOTH:

-# Ooh-ho, nobody knows it

# When I was down

# I was your clown

# Ooh-hoo, nobody knows it

# Nobody knows

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Oh-oh, I gave you my heart

# So don't go breaking my heart

# I won't go breaking your heart

# Don't go breaking my heart

# Nobody told us

# Cos nobody showed us

# Now it's up to us, babe

# I think we can make it

# So don't misunderstand me

# You put the light in my life

# Oh, you put the spark to the flame

# I got your heart in my sights

# Ooh-hoo, nobody knows it

# But when I was down

# I was your clown

# Ooh-hoo, nobody knows it

# Nobody knows

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Oh-ho, I gave you my heart

# Don't go breaking my heart

# I won't go breaking your heart

# Don't go breaking my heart... #

I don't know. It's like the retreat from Moscow set to music.

I hope you've enjoyed this programme, with a bit of luck I'll get out of here alive.

-See you on the breakfast show tomorrow. Bye-bye.

-Bye!

-Bye!

APPLAUSE

# Ooh-hoo, nobody knows it

# But when I was down

# I was your clown

# Right from the start

# I gave you my heart

# Oh-ho, I gave you my heart. #
