27/12/1984 Top of the Pops

It's not Friday. It's not 4.55. It's not Crackerjack.

It's December 27th. I'm Lenny Henry.

This is Top Of The Pops. Here's Spandau Ballet.

# Laying in the after glow

# I only want to learn what you know

# But now you're leaving

# How many hearts must you break?

# How many calls must I make?

# But now you're leaving

# In this world all that I choose has come unbearable

# But love is in your touch

# Oh, it's killing me so much

# Only when you leave

# I'll need to love you

# And when the action has all gone

# I'm just a little fool enough to need you

# Fool enough too long

# Only when you leave You'll leave in danger

# Oh, I'll make sure that you pay

# So give a little passion to a stranger

# And take this soul away

# I only want to make things last

# So how could this have gone so fast?

# And now you're leaving

# How many times must I learn

# It's only when you've gone that I burn?

# And now you're leaving

# In the end, all that is left has come unbearable

# It's hard to change your mind

# So leave it all behind

# Only when you leave

# I'll need to love you

# And when the action has all gone

# I'm just a little fool enough to need you

# Fool enough too long

# Only when you leave You'll leave in danger

# Oh, I'll make sure that you pay

# So give a little passion to a stranger

# And take this soul away

# Laying in the after glow

# I only want to learn what you know

# Ooh, but now you're leaving

# How many hearts must you break?

# How many calls must I make?

# But now you're leaving

# In this world all that I choose has come unbearable

# But love is in your touch

# Oh, it's killing me so much

# Only when you leave

# I'll need to love you

# And when the action has all gone

# I'm just a little fool enough to need you

# Fool enough too long

# Only when you leave You'll leave in danger

# Oh, I'll make sure that you pay

# So give a little passion to a stranger

# And take this soul away

# Oh-oh oh-oh-oh. #

APPLAUSE

When you catch your knee on the corner of the table,

when you bump your funny bone on the door handle,

when you stomp on a rusty nail,

you're Dancing With Tears In Your Eyes.

Here's Ultravox.

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Living out a memory of a love that died

# It's five and I'm driving home again

# It's hard to believe that it's my last time

# The man on the wireless cries again

# It's over, it's over

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Living out a memory of a love that died

# It's late and I'm with my love alone

# We drink to forget the coming storm

# We love to the sound of our favourite song

# Over and over

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Living out a memory of a love that died

# It's time and we're in each other's arms

# It's time but I don't think we really care

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

# Dancing with tears in my eyes

# Weeping for the memory of a life gone by

# Dancing with tears in my eyes. #

APPLAUSE

Yeah, man. Well 'ard. Well 'ard.

Now, listen, my name is Delbert Wilkins, right.

And if you're having a party

and you want to really annoy your neighbours,

wait till about 3.00 at night, right,

and then put this lot on. It's Slade and My Oh My. Well crucial!

# I believe in woman, my oh my

# I believe in lovin', my oh my

# Don't a woman need a man Try and catch one if you can

# I believe in woman, my oh my

# We all need someone to talk to, my oh my

# We all need someone to talk to, my oh my

# You need a shoulder to cry on Call me, I'll be standing by

# We all need someone to talk to, my oh my

# We all need a lot of lovin', my oh my

# Yeah, a whole lot of lovin', my oh my

# I can lend a helpin' hand if you ain't got nothing planned

# We all need some lovin', my oh my

# Oh, yeah

# Yeah

# So let's all swing together, my oh my

# We can all swing together, my oh my

# You've got troubles of your own No need to face them all alone

# We can all swing together, my oh my

# So let's all pull together, my oh my

# Yeah, let's all pull together, my oh my

# We can ride the stormy weather

# If we all get out and try

# So let's all pull together, my oh my

# Yeah, let's all pull together, my oh my... #

APPLAUSE

Nice, nice, nice, nice guy. Now, listen,

there's one thing I don't understand about hippies, right.

And that is, why aren't they hip? You know what I mean?

This geezer's no exception.

It's Neil with A Hole In My Shoe.

# My white bicycle

# My white bi... #

Oh, sorry. What? The other one?

OK, yeah.

# I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye

# Was looking at me from a bubble gum tree

# And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe

-# Which was letting in water

-Letting in water

# Letting in water

# Oh, no, Christmas again What a bummer

# Carol singers hassling you for bread

# I walked through a field that just wasn't real

# With one hundred tin soldiers which stood at my shoulder

# And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe

-# Which was letting in water

-Letting in water

# Letting in water... #

Oh, no, here we go again!

I climbed on the back of a giant turkey

and fell through a hole in the tablecloth

to a place where, like, everyone was having a really good time

and giving each other presents

and eating loads of mince pies and getting drunk on alcohol...

Except me!

# ..I started to fall and suddenly woke

# And the dew on the grass had soaked through my coat

# And all that I knew was the hole in my shoe

-# Which was letting in water

-Letting in water

# Letting in water

# A-A-Ahh, a-a-ah, a-a-ah! #

It's not really Christmas, you know. This was pre-recorded last July.

Oh! Uh...

Can I tell my joke now?

Here's my joke, OK?

Why do little ducks walk softly?

Because they can't walk hardly.

Yeah, yeah, thank you. I've got another one.

I've got another joke...

APPLAUSE

Yeah, well limp. Well limp. Well limp.

Now then, listen, if you've been wondering where the funk has been

in this show, right, you can rest your brain cells

because here she comes, the magnificent lady,

Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Khan.

APPLAUSE

Evening, evening, evening.

PC Ganja here. Now, this year there was a lot of breaking and entering

going on in the charts. This next guy was very good at it.

In fact, you could say he had previous records to be

taken into consideration.

Here's Shakin' Stevens. Take it away, Shakey.

# If you should ever want to be set free

# If you're not certain your future lies with me

# I'll let you go, girl Until your heart is sure

# It's a love worth waiting for

# Now I won't stop you from leaving cos I know

# The way to keep you would be to let you go

# And I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

# It's a love worth waiting for

# If you should leave me Oh, please remember

# In my heart there's a fire

# A flame of desire for your charms

# I will keep alive this glowing ember

# A love that will burn until you're back in my arms

# You know, my darling I need you here with me

# But only to stay because it's where you want to be

# Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

# It's a love worth waiting for

# In my heart there's a fire

# A flame of desire for your charms

# A love that will burn until

# You're back in my arms

# You know, my darling I need you here with me

# But only to stay because it's where you want to be

# Cos I'm prepared to wait a thousand years or more

# It's a love worth waiting for

# It's a love worth waiting for. #

APPLAUSE

Nice tune, Shakey. Nice tune.

Now I've got to get back on the beat. It's Bronski Beat.

# To your soul

# To your soul

# Ahh-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ah-ah

# You leave in the morning

# With everything you own in a little black case

# Alone on a platform

# The wind and the rain

# On a sad and lonely face

# Mother will never understand

# Why you had to leave

# But the answers you seek

# Will never be found at home

# The love that you need

# Will never be found at home

# Run away, turn away, run away Turn away, run away

# Run away, turn away, run away Turn away, run away

# Pushed around and kicked around

# Always a lonely boy

# You were the one

# That they'd talk about around town

# As they put you down

# And as hard as they would try

# They'd hurt to make you cry

# But you never cried to them

# Just to your soul

# No, you never cried to them

# Just to your soul

# Run away, turn away, run away Turn away, run away

# Crying to your soul

# Run away, turn away, run away Turn away, run away

# Crying to your soul

# Run away, turn away, run away Turn away, run away

# Run away, turn away, run away Turn away, run away

# Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy Cry, boy, cry

# Cry, boy Cry, boy, cry... #

APPLAUSE

Hey, what's happening, ladies? How are you doing?

My name is Theophilus P Wildebeeste and this next song

by my best friend, Paul McCartney, tells you what would happen

if you let me love all of you.

There'd be No More Lonely Nights.

Take it away, my man.

# You're my guiding light

# Day or night, I'm always there

# May I never miss the thrill

# Of being near you

# And if takes a couple of years

# To turn your tears to laughter

# I will do what I feel to be right

# No more lonely nights

# Never be another

# No more lonely nights

# You're my guiding light

# Day or night, I'm always there

# And I won't go away until you tell me so

# No, I'll never go away

-# Yes, I know

-I know

-# What I feel

-I feel

# To be right

# No more lonely nights

# Never be another

# No more lonely nights. #

# Help me to learn

# Songs of joy

# Instead of burn, baby, burn

-# Won't you show me how to play

-How to play

-# The pipes of peace

-Pipes of peace

# Play the pipes of peace

# Ooh ooh ooh ooh

-# What do you say?

-What do you say?

# Will the human race be run in a day?

# In a day

# Or will someone save this planet we're playing on

# Is it the only one?

# What are we going to do?

-# Help them to see

-Help them to see

# That the people here are like you and me

# You and me

# Let us show them how to play

# How to play

# The pipes of peace

# Pipes of peace

# Play the pipes of peace

# Ooh ooh ooh ooh

# I light a candle to our love

# In love our problems disappear

# But all in all we soon discover

# That one and one is all we long to hear. #

APPLAUSE

Oh, hey, yeah. Hey, what I wanna say

about this next song by Bananarama is,

listen, ladies, Robert De Niro may be waiting but let him wait.

If you give me a key, I'll let myself in.

# Hopes dashed to the floor like shattered teenage dreams

# Boys living next door are never what they seem, oooh

# A walk in the park can become a bad dream

# People are staring and following me

# This is my only escape from it all

# Watching a film or a face on the wall

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting

# I don't need a boy I've got a man of steel

# Don't come any closer I don't wanna feel, oooh

# You're breathing, you're touching But nothing's for free

# I never want this to happen to me

# Don't try to change me You're wasting your time

# Now I've got something much better in mind

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting

# Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk

# Talking, oooh

# Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk Talking

# A walk in the park can become a bad dream

# People are staring and following me

# This is my only escape from it all

# Watching a film or a face on the wall

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian

# Talking Italian

# Robert De Niro's waiting Talking Italian... #

All right. Hey, ladies, listen, I gotta go right now,

but remember this - it ain't goodbye, it ain't au revoir,

it's Hello. And listen, I taught Lionel Richie everything he knows.

# 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 RINGS

# ..And you know just what to do

# And I want to tell you so much

# I love you... # BELL RINGS

It's OK.

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

-Hi, Laura. Sorry we're late.

-Hi!

# ..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 isn't good for you, Billyboy.

Too many memories! Too many ghosts!

-# ..I love you... #

-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?

# ..Hello

# Is it me you're looking for?

# 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

# I love you... #

Mr Reynolds?

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

I think you ought to check it out.

DOOR CLOSES

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

Good evening. For six months, scientists and intellectuals

all over the country have been trying to make sense

out of this record. It's Black Lace and Agadoo.

They didn't succeed.

# Ag-a-doo-doo-doo Push pineapple, shake the tree

# Aga-doo-doo-doo Push pineapple, grind coffee

# To the left, to the right Jump up and down and to the knees

# Come and dance every night Sing with a hula melody

# I met a hula mistress somewhere in Waikiki

# Well, she was selling pineapple Playing ukulele

# And when I went to the girl Come on and teach me to sway

# She laughed and whispered to me, Yes, come tonight to the bay

# The lovely beach In the sky the moon of Kauai

# Around calypso sarong We'll all be singing this song

Good evening. This has been a great year for pickets.

Some have been jumping. Some have been shouting.

These have been flying. There they go.

It's the Flying Pickets and Only You.

APPLAUSE

# I just called to say

# I love... #

What? Wrong number?

OK, man, I'll try again.

# No New Year's Day to celebrate

# No chocolate-covered candy hearts to give away

# No first of spring

# No song to sing

# In fact, here's just another ordinary day

# No April rain

# No flowers bloom

# No wedding Saturday within the month of June

# But what it is

# Is something true

# Made up of these three words that I must say to you

# I just called to say I love you

# I just called to say how much I care

# I just called to say I love you

# And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

# No summer's high

# No warm July

# No harvest moon to light one tender August night

# No autumn breeze

# No falling leaves

# Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies

# No Libra sun

# No Halloween

# No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring

# But what it is

# Though old so new

# To fill your heart like no three words could ever do

# I just called to say I love you

# I just called to say how much I care

# I do

# I just called to say I love you

# And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

# I just called to say I love you

# I just called to say how much I care

# I do

# I just called to say I love you

# And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

# Of my heart

# Baby, of my heart. #
