INSTRUMENTAL INTRO

# The handshake seals the contract

# From the contract

# There's no turning back

# The turning point

# Of a career in Korea

# Being insincere

# The holiday was fun-packed

# The contract still intact

# The grabbing hands

# Grab all they can

# All for themselves after all

# The grabbing hands

# Grab all they can

# All for themselves after all

# It's a competitive world

# Everything counts in large amounts... #

INSTRUMENTAL

# The graph on the wall

# Tells the story of it all

# Picture it now

# See just how

# The lies and deceit

# Gained a little more power

# Confidence taken in

# By a sun tan and a grin

# The grabbing hands

# Grab all they can

# All for themselves after all

# The grabbing hands

# Grab all they can

# All for themselves after all

Depeche Mode and Everything Counts.

He's only just out of the charts and he's back in again,

and he's got a new album out this week.

At Number 30, Elvis Costello and the Attractions and Every Day I Write The Book.

# Oooh-oooh

# Don't tell me you don't know what love is

# When you're old enough to know better

# When you find strange hands in your sweater

# When your dreamboat

# Turns out to be a footnote

# I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions

# And I'm giving you a longing look

-# Every day

-Every day

-# Every day

-Every day

# Every day Every day I write the book

# Chapter one We didn't really get along

# Chapter two I think I fell in love with you

# You said you'd stand by me in the middle of chapter three

# But you were up to your old tricks in chapters four, five and six

# And I'm giving you a longing look

-# Every day

-Every day

-# Every day

-Every day

# Every day Every day I write the book

-# The way you walk

-The way you walk

# The way you talk and try to kiss me

# And laugh in four or five paragraphs

# All your compliments and your cutting remarks

# Are captured here in my quotation marks

# And I'm giving you a longing look

-# Every day

-Every day

-# Every day

-Every day

# Every day Every day I write the book

# Oooh-ooh

-# Every day I write the book

-I write the book

# Don't tell me you don't know the difference

# Between a lover and a fighter

# With my pen and my electric typewriter

# Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal

# I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel

# And I'm giving you a longing look

-# Every day

-Every day

-# Every day

-Every day

# Every day Every day I write the book

-# Every day

-Every day

# Every day Every day I write the book

-# Every day

-Every day

# Every day Every day I write the book

# Ooooh-oooooh

# Yeah

# Every day, every day, every day

# Every day I write the book

# I'm giving you a longing look and every day I write the book

# I'm giving you a longing look and every day I write the book

# I'm giving you a loving look

# And every day, every day I write the book

# I'm giving you a longing look

# Every day I write the book... #

Originally a big hit for Mel Torme in 1962.

We've got a couple of firsts on Top Of The Pops tonight

and the first is some of my mates from Liverpool.

They're in at Number 25,

it's The Lotus Eaters and The First Picture Of You.

APPLAUSE

# It's warm in and out

# The pulse of flowing love

# The magic force of your feelings

# The first picture of you

# The first picture of summer

# Seeing the flowers scream their joy

APPLAUSE

I had a go at skipping just like Malcolm McLaren does in Double Dutch

and it didn't work out quite right.

You were absolutely useless. Don't give up being a DJ.

Malcolm McLaren is at number four with Double Dutch.

Dancing, the Dynamos.

RHYTHMIC CLAPPING

That was absolutely fantastic.

These skipping ropes make wonderful microphones, by the way.

Next on Top Of The Pops, a guy who's sold millions and millions of albums

around the world, although this is his first big hit single

and his first appearance on Top Of The Pops - Robert Plant and Big Log.

CHEERING

GUITAR INTRO

# My love is in league with the freeway

# Its passion will ride

# As the cities fly by

# And the tail-lights dissolve

# In the coming of night

# And the questions in thousands take flight

# My love is a-miles in the waiting

# The eyes that just stare and the glance at the clock

# And the secret that burns

# And the pain that grows dark

# And it's you once again

# Leading me on

# Leading me on

# Leading me down the road

# Driving me on

# Driving me on

# Driving me down the road

# Aaaah-aaaah

# Aaaah... #

GUITAR SOLO

# My love is exceeding the limit

# Red-eyed and fevered

# With the hum of the miles

# Distance and longing

# My thoughts do provide

# Should I rest for a while at the side?

# Your love is cradled in knowing

# Eyes in the mirror

# Still expecting they'll come

# Sensing too well

# When the journey is done

# There is no turning back, no

# There is no turning back

# On the run. #

# That was hard to reconcile

# The time had come to testify to reason

# Though years will not erase

# Remembrance of those days

# At least there's no submission to heart's treason

# Here today, my tomorrow

# No more shame, only sorrow

# All that kissing There's something missing... #
