27/01/1983 Top of the Pops

-Welcome to Top Of The Pops.

-Have we got a show for you today!

Everything from Bauhaus to the Beatles.

For example, here's Level 42 and their new single,

called Chinese Way.

# Take a journey back in time

# Leave the Western world behind

# Cross the mountains to Peking

# Where the paper lanterns gently swing

# The Chinese way

# Who knows what they know?

# The Chinese legend grows

# The Chinese way

# Who knows what they know?

# The Chinese legend grows

# My eyes wide open

# I feel a breeze

# Words softly spoken

# In Cantonese

# Standing at the master's side

# Then with patience he confides

# Secret knowledge, sacred ways

# Pearls of wisdom from the dragon days

# I could never lie

# For honour I would die

# Following the Chinese way

# So many years ago

# Heroes ruled the world

# Some died for love

# They were the only ones in a cruel world

# I could never lie

# For honour I would die

# Following the Chinese way

# From the mountains to Peking

# Where the paper lanterns gently swing

# The Chinese way

# Who knows what they know?

# The Chinese legend grows

# The Chinese way

# Who knows what they know?

# The Chinese legend grows

# The Chinese way

# Who knows what they know?

# The Chinese legend grows... #

CHEERING

Level 42 and The Chinese Way.

We're going to stay in the Far East now,

because the Belle Stars are currently in Japan.

They're also number five in the charts with A Sign of the Times,

and just watch the lasers in this video.

# As I lie here, thinking of you

# I realise that nothing is new

# Lying in my bed, thinking of you

# I realise nothing is new

# You say you love me but want success

# I say you're lying Nothing has changed

-ALL:

-# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# We're strong in bed

# You're weak in love

# You give me nothing more than a shove

# I walk alone now, thinking of you

# I realise now nothing is new

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Time to be alone

# This is the sign of the times

# Piece of more to come

# This is the sign of the times

# Why do we go on with this useless love affair

# When it seems to me that you don't really care?

# I realise now nothing is new

# Time to live my life without you

ECHOING: # Without you, without you

# I sit alone now Wondering 'bout you

# I'm living my life What do you do?

# You say you want me but need success

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sign Of The Times from the Belle Stars. Here's an old song

that was made first of all by Bobby Darin and Nat King Cole

and George Benson. It's called Nature Boy.

This new version is by Central Line, they're over here, and if

you want to know what the instrument is, suitably enough it's called...

a serpent. Central Line!

# There was a boy

# A very strange, enchanted boy

# They say he wandered very far, very far

# Over land and sea

# A little shy

# Sad of eye

# Very wise

# Very wise was he

# And then one day

# One magic day

# He passed my way

# And while we spoke of many things

# Fools and kings

# This he said to me

# The greatest thing you could ever learn

# Is just to love and be loved in return

-# To be loved

-Loved, loved

-# In return

-Turn, turn, turn

-# To be loved

-Loved, loved

-# In return

-Turn, turn, turn

# And then

-# One day

-Then one day

# One magic day he passed my way

-# And while we spoke of many things

-Many things

-# Fools and kings

-Fools and kings

# This he said to me

# The greatest thing

# You, you could ever love

# Just to love, show your love

# In return

-# To be loved

-Loved, loved

-# In return

-Turn, turn, turn

-# To be loved

-Loved, loved

-# In return

-Turn, turn, turn

# To be loved

# It's your nature You know it is your nature

# Nature boy

# It's your nature You know it is your nature

# Nature boy

# It's your nature You know it is your nature

# Nature boy

# It's your nature You know it is your nature

# Nature boy

# It's your nature

# Nature boy

# It's your nature You know it is your nature

CHEERING

That's pretty good stuff, isn't it?

You know, 20 years ago this week,

the Beatles crashed into the charts at number two with Please Please Me.

This week they're back again, and here's John Lennon.

Wahey!

So we'd like to play for you now a song called Please Please Me.

SCREAMING

# Last night I said these words to my girl

# I know you never even try, girl

-# Come on

-Come on

-# Come on

-Come on

-# Come on

-Come on

-# Come on

-Come on

# Please please me, woah-yeah Like I please you

# You don't need me to show the way, love

# Why do I always have to say, love?

-# Come on

-Come on

-# Come on

-Come on

-# Come on

-Come on

-# Come on

-Come on

# Please please me, woah-yeah Like I please you

# I don't want to sound complaining

# But you know there's always rain in my heart

# In my heart

# I do all the pleasing with you It's so hard to reason with you

# Woah-yeah Why do you make me blue?

# Last night I said these words to my girl

# I know you never even try, girl

-# Come on

APPLAUSE

That's historic stuff on Top Of The Pops,

it's the Beatles and Please Please Me.

There's a band I've been playing quite a lot on

my Radio 1 programme, see what you think of them when you see them.

China Crisis, also from Liverpool, and their new single Christian.

# This is emotion

# Emotionless war

# A torn shirt and a...

# And a long-dead cause

# I can't sleep

# This kind of thing gets me down

# Don't say walk

# I may lose my fear

# I could lose myself in this honesty

# I could lose myself in this honesty

# I read all sorts of things

# There's so much to learn

# I've seen the hand that rushes in

# As it rush over you

# I could lose myself in this honesty

# I could lose myself in this honesty

# Christian

# I could lose myself in this honesty

# I could lose myself in this honesty

# I could lose myself in this honesty... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's lovely, it's China Crisis and Christian.

-What do you reckon, Richard?

-I think it's a winner, you know.

And, Simon, talking of winners,

Wham! have got two reasons to celebrate.

First of all, it's Andrew's birthday. Happy birthday, Andrew.

And also they're in the charts, with Wham Rap.

# You got soul on the dole

# You're gonna have a good time down on the line

# You got soul on the dole

# You're gonna have a good time down on the line

# I said get, get, get on down

# I said a-get, get, get on down

# I said get, get, get on down

# I said a-get, get, get on down

# Hey, everybody, take a look at me I've got street credibility

# I may not have a job but I have a good time

# With the boys that I meet down on the line

# I said D-H-S-S!

# Man, the rhythm that they're giving is the very best

# Hey!

# I said B1, B2

# Make a claim, sign your name's all you have to do

# Well, folk can be a drag if work ain't your bag

# And when you let them know

# You're more dead then alive in a nine-to-five

# Then they say you'd got to go and...

# Get yourselves a job!

-# Or get out of this house

-Get yourself a job!

# Are you a man or a mouse?

# A finger in each ear you pretend not to hear

# Gotta get some space Get out of this place

# Wham! Bam! I am a man

-# Job or no job

-You can't tell me that I'm not

# Do you enjoy what you do?

# If not, just stop

# Don't stay there and rot!

# In the streets, in the cars On the underground

# If you listen real hard you can hear the sound

# Of a million people switching off for work

-# Well, listen, Mr Average

-You're a jerk!

# Not me, you can't hold me down

# Not me, I'm gonna fool around

# Gonna have some fun Look out for number one

# You can dig your grave I'm staying young

# Wham! Bam! I am a man

-# Job or no job

-You can't tell me that I'm not

# Do you enjoy what you do?

# If not, just stop

# Don't stay there and rot! #

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

# If you're a pub man or a club man

# Maybe a jet-black guy with a hip hi-fi

# A white cool cat with a trilby hat

# Maybe leather and studs is where you're at

# Make the most of every day

# Don't let hard times stand in your way

# Give a wham, give a bam but don't give a damn

# Cos the benefit gang are gonna pay

# Now reach up high and touch your soul

# The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal

-# It's gonna break your mama's heart

-So sad!

# It's gonna break your daddy's heart

# Too bad!

# Just throw the dice and take my advice

# Because I know that you're smart

-# Can you dig this thing?

-Yeah!

-# Are you gonna get down?

-Yeah!

-# Say Wham!

-Wham!

-# Say Bam!

-Bam!

# Wham! Bam! I am a man

-# Job or no job

-You can't tell me that I'm not

# Do you enjoy what you do?

# If not, just stop

# Don't stay there and rot! #

CHEERING

Waving the flag for British funk, that's Wham!,

and you know, that Andy doesn't look a year older, does he?

Here's Bauhaus now, with a great song destined to become a big hit.

It's a Spanish theme - Lagartija Nick.

# Move his way, nice and slow

# Paint it all black Let the humorous glow

# He feels like Sacher-Masoch and the fire below

# Is licking at his lips

# Crack the whip

# Ohh, come on, crack the whip

# Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh

# Crack the whip!

# Ohh, whip!

# Whip

# Swallowing flames Sinking in the snow

# He enjoys feeling pain He enjoys peeling slow

# Lagartija Nick, it's no dumb show

# Your name's on his whip

# Crack the whip

# Ooh, come and crack

# Yeah, a code of play A nocturne rite

# In the cruel garden of dark delights

# Sixteen cages crawl in line

# Desire is a heady wine

# Come on, crack!

# Mm, come on, crack!

# Mm, crack the!

# Oh!

# Wh...

# Oh!

# Paint it all black

# Let the humorous glow

# He feels like Sacher-Masoch

# And the fire below

# Is licking at his lips

# Move his way nice and slow

# Feels like Sacher-Masoch and the fire below

# Feel the pain in the snow

# Kicking at newsreel

# Swallowing flames Sinking in the snow

# Likes feeling pain Likes peeling slow

# Lagartija Nick It's no dumb show

# Your name's on his whip

# Oh! #

Welcome back to Joe Cocker, with Jennifer Warnes,

and the song is Up Where We Belong.

# Who knows what tomorrow brings

# In a world few hearts survive

# All I know is the way I feel

# When it's real, I keep it alive

# The road is long

# There are mountains in our way

# But we climb a step every day

-# BOTH:

-Love lift us up where we belong

# Where the eagles cry

# On a mountain high

# Love lift us up where we belong

# Far from the world we know

# Where the clear winds blow

# Some hang on to used to be

# Live their lives looking behind

# All we have is here and now

# All our lives out there to find

# The road is long

# There are mountains in our way

# But we climb a step every day

# Love lift us up where we belong

# Where the eagles cry

# On a mountain high

# Love lift us up where we belong

# Far from the world we know

# Where the clear winds blow

# Time goes by, no time to cry

# Life's you and I

# Alive today

# Love lift us up where we belong

# Where the eagles cry

# On a mountain high

# Love lift us up where we belong

# Far from the world we know

# Where the clear winds blow

# Love lift us up where we belong

# On a mountain high... #
