28/06/1979 Top of the Pops

It's the show that counts and we give to you the chart.

It's Top Of The Pops.

# Well, come on, everybody, let's get together tonight

# I've got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right

# Well, I've been doing my homework all week long

# Now to have some 50 and my folks are gone

# Ooh, come on, everybody

# Well, my baby's number one

# But I'm gonna dance with three or four... #

APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Up The Junction" by Squeeze

# I never thought it would happen

# With me and the girl from Clapham

# Out on a windy common

# That night I ain't forgotten

# When she dealt out the rations

# With some or other passions

# I said, "You are a lady"

# Perhaps she said, "I may be"

# We moved into a basement

# With thoughts of our engagement

# We stayed in by the telly

# Although the room was smelly

# We spent our time just kissing

# The railway arms we're missing

# But love had got us hooked up

# And all our time it took up

# I got a job with Stanley

# He said I'd come in handy

# And started me on Monday

# So I had a bath on Sunday

# I worked 11 hours

# And bought the girl some flowers

# She said she'd seen a doctor

# And nothing now could stop her

# I worked all through the winter

# The weather brass and bitter

# I put away a tenner

# Each week to make her better

# And when the time was ready

# We had to sell the telly

# Late evenings by the fire

# With little kicks inside her

# This morning at 4:50

# I took her rather nifty

# Down to an incubator

# Where 30 minutes later

# She gave birth to a daughter

# Within a year a walker

# She looked just like her mother

# If there could be another

# And now she's two years older

# Her mother's with a soldier

# She left me when my drinking

# Became a proper stinging

# The devil came and took me

# From bar to street to bookie

# No more nights by the telly

# No more nights nappies smelling

# Alone here in the kitchen

# I feel there's something missing

# I'd beg for some forgiveness

# But begging's not my business

# And she won't write a letter

# Although I always tell her

# And so it's my assumption

# I'm really up the junction. #

APPLAUSE

Squeeze with Up The Junction.

It's number three and a great single indeed.

So much to get through and I hope you enjoyed the play-in record.

It was the Sex Pistols and Come on, Everybody.

Here's Lene Lovich.

MUSIC: "Say When" by Lene Lovich

# Well, I'm all revved up and ready, baby

# You're a man and I'm a lady

# But turn your eyes from this body of mine

# I don't want you to be ahead of our time

# I say when to stop

# Hey, I call the shots, baby

# I say when, say when

# I say when to stop

# Hey, I call the shots, baby

# I say when, say when

# Well, you look plenty of good to me

# Yeah, you got plenty of energy

# And I know that you're big and strong

# But I'll be the boss, so don't go wrong

# I say when to stop

# Hey, I call the shots, baby

# I say when, say when

# I say when to stop

# Hey, I call the shots, baby

# I say when, say when

# One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten

# Well, I'm all revved up and ready, baby

# You're a man and I'm a lady

# But turn your eyes from this body of mine

# I don't want you to be ahead of our time

# I say when to stop

# Hey, I call the shots, baby

# I say when, say when

# I say when to stop

# Hey, I call the shots, baby

# I say when, say when

# Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf, dix. #

APPLAUSE

Lene Lovich and Say When at 19 in the chart.

So he came over from the States

and we're so glad to have him on Top Of The Pops.

A beautiful song, it's Maybe, it's Thom Pace.

MUSIC: "Maybe" by Thom Pace

# Deep inside the forest

# Is a door into another land

# Here is our life and home

# We are staying, here forever

# In the beauty of this place all alone

# We keep on hopin'

# Maybe

# There's a world where we don't have to run

# And maybe

# There's a time we'll call our own

# Livin' free in harmony and majesty

# Take me home

# Take me home

# Walkin' through the land

# Where every living thing is beautiful

# Why does it have to end?

# We are calling, oh, so sadly

# On the whispers of the wind

# As we send a dying message

# Maybe

# There's a world where we don't have to run

# Maybe

# There's a time we'll call our own

# Livin' free in harmony and majesty

# Take me home

# Take me home

# There's a world where we don't have to run

# Maybe

# There's a time we'll call our own

# Livin' free in harmony and majesty

# Take me home

# Take me home

# Maybe there's a world where we don't have to run

# Maybe

# There's a time we'll call our own

# Livin' free in harmony and majesty

# Take me home

# Take me home

-# Maybe. #

-APPLAUSE

What a great thing to do to a Thursday night.

A gentle pace, Thom Pace, and Maybe at number 26.

And at five it's Quantum Jump.

Alone? No, she's with a band.

Her name is Janet Kay and this is a song which this week is at 23.

It's Silly Games.

MUSIC: "Silly Games" by Janet Kay

# I've been wanting you

# For so long, it's a shame

# Oh, baby

# Every time I hear your name

# Oh, the pain

# Boy, how it hurts me inside

# Cos every time we meet

# We play hide and seek

# I'm wondering what I should do

# Should I, dear, come up to you

# And say, how do you do?

# Would you turn me away?

# You're as much to blame

# Cos I know you feel the same

# I can see it in your eyes

# But I've got no time to live this life

# No, I've got no time to play your silly games

# Silly games

# Yet, in my mind I say

# If he makes his move today

# I'll just pretend to be shy

# Oh, baby

# It's a tragedy

# That you and me

# We don't even try

# You're as much to blame

# Cos I know you feel the same

# I can see it in your eyes

# But I've got no time to live this life

# No, I've got no time to play your silly games

# Silly games. # APPLAUSE

It's Janet Kay. That's beautiful. Lovely.

Really moves, that, nicely. And Silly Games.

Unfortunately, no Legs and Co - they're on holiday -

but we do have Thin Lizzy.

MUSIC: "Do Anything You Want" by Thin Lizzy

# There are people that will investigate you

# They'll insinuate, intimidate and complicate you

# Don't ever wait or hesitate to

# State the fate that awaits those who

# Try to shake or take you

# Don't let them break you

# You can do anything you want to do

# It's not wrong what I sing, it's true

# You can do anything you want to do

# Do what you want to

# People that despise you will analyse then criticise you

# They'll scandalise and tell lies until they realise

# You are someone they should have apologised to

# Don't let these people compromise you

# Be wise too

# You can do anything you want to do

# It's not wrong what I sing, it's true

# You can do anything you want to do

# Do what you want to

# Hey, you

# You're not their puppet on a string

# You can do everything

# It's true, if you really want to

# You can do anything you want

# Hey, you

# No can do

# Hey, you

# Yes, you

# Elvis is dead

# The king of rock 'n' roll is dead. #

APPLAUSE

Thin Lizzy and Do Anything You Want To.

We've found our legs and we've also found a new band,

UK Subs and Stranglehold.

MUSIC: "Stranglehold" by UK Subs

# One, two, three, four, five, six

# Gotta do a dance

# And it goes like this

# Well, some little girl's got a hold on me

# She's only 18 but, oh, so sweet

# Got me down on my knees

# Got a stranglehold on me

# She puts her arms around me like a vice

# It's, oh, so painful but nice

# I can only take once or twice

# Got a stranglehold on me

# Got a stranglehold on me

# Got a stranglehold on me

# Got a stranglehold on me

# Stranglehold

Putting energy back into your Thursday,

that's UK Subs and Stranglehold.

I hope it's hot where you might be.

And if it ain't hot, we're going to make it hot

because this is Gerry Rafferty and Night Owl.

MUSIC: "Night Owl" by Gerry Rafferty

# Night comes down and finds you alone

# In a space and time of your own

# Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows

# Down the street the neon light shines

# Offering refuge and hope to the blind

# You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow

# Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low

# And I end up looking for somewhere to go

# Yes, I should know better but I can't say no

# Oh, no, no, no

# No, no, no, no

# The lights are low and the Muzak is loud

# You watch yourself as you play to the crowd

# One more face in a palace of mirrors

# One more drink, you're sailing away

# One more dream, but it's looking OK

# One more time to watch the flow of the river

# Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low

# And I end up looking for somewhere to go

# Yes, I should know better but I can't say no

# Oh, no, no, no

# No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

# Oooooooh... #

APPLAUSE

Oh, so good. It's Gerry Rafferty at number ten and Night Owl.

Well, she's back. Just to add another number

to her hit file already. From Wales, it's Bonnie Tyler.

MUSIC: "The World Is Full Of Married Men" by Bonnie Tyler

# The world is full of married men

# With wives who never understand

# They're looking for someone to share

# The excitement of a love affair

# Just as soon as they find you they wine you and dine you

# You fly on the wings of romance

# But in the eyes of the world you're just another crazy girl

# Who loves a married man

# Ooh, your love is a secret

# And you've got to keep it as long as you can

# No, don't cry for your lover

# There's always another married man

# The world is full of them

# Oh, yeah, you'll make him feel so young

# But his wife is still the number one

# He promises to marry you

# Just as soon as his divorce comes through

# And it's not just a fling

# He swears it's the real thing

# A love that could last till the end

# But as he's driving away

# You know it's true what they say

# About married men

# Ooh, they do it, they do it

# They do it, they do it

-# Again and again

-Again and again

# Yeah, they do it, they do it

# They do it, they do it

-# Married men

-Married men

# Yeah

# Oh, he'll run when the scandal

# Gets too hot to handle

# He'll say "I just want to be your friend"

# Then he'll walk out of your life

# He'll go home to his wife

# Cos he's a married man

# Ooh, your love is a secret

# And you've got to keep it as long as you can

# No, don't cry for your lover

# There's always another married man

# The world is full of them

# Yeah

# They do it, they do it

# They do it, they do it

-# Again and again

-Again and again

# Yeah, they do it, they do it

# They do it, they do it

-# Married men

-Married men... #

APPLAUSE

Cheers, Bonnie! Lovely, super.

That's Married Men, her new single.

We've had all the glamour, what about the fun?

I'll tell you, it's at number 20.

It's Chas & Dave, looking ever so smart,

and Gertcha!

# Now there's a word that I don't understand

# I hear it every day from my old man

# It may be Cockney rhyming slang

# It ain't in no school book

# He says it every time that he gets mad

# A regular caution is my old dad

# Rub the old man up the wrong way

# Bet your life you'll hear him say

# Gertcha!

Gertcha!

-# Gertcha!

-When the kids are swinging on the gate

-# Gertcha!

-When the paperboy's half an hour late

-# Gertcha!

-When the pigeons are pecking at his sleeves

-# Gertcha!

-When the barker starts digging up his beans

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha! Bar stool preaching

# That's the old man's game

# Now the old man was a desert rat

# Khaki shorts and a khaki hat

# How me mother could have fancied that

# I just don't know

# But when the enemy came in sight

# They gave up without a fight

# Well, they rubbed him up the wrong way

# This is what they heard him say

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

-# Gertcha!

-When me rock 'n' roll records wake him up

-# Gertcha!

-When the Poles knocked England out the cup

-# Gertcha!

-When the kids are banging on his door

-# Gertcha!

-When the barman won't serve him any more

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha! Bar stool preaching

# He's always been the same

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

# Gertcha!

-# Gertcha!

-When me mother says he can't go round the pub

-# Gertcha!

-Sister's boyfriend taking sister up the club

-# Gertcha!

-At the tomcats when they're kicking up a din

-# Gertcha!

-Tottenham Hotspur couldn't get one in

-# Gertcha!

-When me mother locks him out the flat

-# Gertcha!

-When it's raining and he can't find his hat

# Gertcha! #

APPLAUSE

And great entertainment from Chas & Dave and Gertcha!

Well, we all guessed it would, it has indeed made it to number one.

Are 'Friends' Electric? Tubeway Army.

# It's cold outside

# And the paint's peeling off of my walls

# There's a man outside

# In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

# Now the light fades out

# And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this

# There's a knock on the door

# And just for a second I thought I remembered you

# So now I'm alone

# Now I can think for myself

# About little deals and issues

# And things that I just don't understand

# A white lie that night

# Or a sly touch at times

# I don't think it meant anything to you

# So I open the door

# It's the "friend" that I'd left in the hallway

# "Please sit down"

# A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed

# You know I hate to ask

# But are 'friends' electric?

# Only mine's broke down

# And now I've no-one to love.. #

APPLAUSE

Gets right into your head.

Probably the best thing to happen this year.

Tubeway Army are at number one and Are 'Friends' Electric?

And we'll get right back onto your TV screens next week for

the same time for another edition of Top Of The Pops.

Until then, have fun. Here's Slick and Space Bass. Bye, everybody.

# Time

# Keeps on moving as the Earth turns around

# Time

# People dance to it all night

# And they always will even in the year 3000

# Everybody goes to the space bass

# Dancing all night long at the space bass

# Freaking upside down at the space bass

# Everyone in town's at the space bass...#
