from the Special AKA, Free Nelson Mandela.

# Nelson Mandela

# 21 years in captivity

# His shoes too small to fit his feet

# His body abused but his mind is still free

# Are you so blind that you cannot see?

# I say

# Free Nelson Mandela

# I'm begging you

# Free Nelson Mandela

# He pleaded the causes of the ANC

# Only one man in a large army

# Are you so blind that you cannot see?

# Are you so deaf that you cannot hear his plea?

# Free Nelson Mandela

# I'm begging you

# Free Nelson Mandela

# 21 years in captivity

# Are you so blind that you cannot see?

# Are you so deaf that you cannot hear?

# Are you so dumb that you cannot speak?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Great number at number 29, Nelson Mandela.

Good to see the Special AKA back in the chart once again.

Four places below them at number 33,

another goodie from John Lennon, Living On Borrowed Time.

# When I was younger

# Living confusion and deep despair

# When I was younger ah hah

# Living illusion of freedom and power

# When I was younger

# Full of ideas and broken dreams, my friend

# When I was younger ah hah

# Everything simple but not so clear

# Living on borrowed time

# Without a thought for tomorrow

# Living on borrowed time

# Without a thought for tomorrow... #

JOHN HUMS MELODY

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

John Lennon from Milk And Honey, of course, and Borrowed Time.

There has been a lot of happy talk in the home of Captain Sensible.

Here's his new chart hit, Glad It's All Over.

# Submarines in the harbour

# Incognito

# Submarines of your dreams

# Not mine

# For giving to the people

# Who never never go to war

# We're glad it's all over

# We're glad it's all over

# We're glad it's all over

# We're glad it's all over

# Hidden tunnels

# Secret items

# Guarded fences

# Planet Earth

# Testing ground

# Right now

# The blue blue moon

# Knows that soon

# We'll be searching for the people

# Who never never went to war

# We're glad it's all over

# We're glad it's all over

# The red red sky

# Must take the prize

# The red red sky

# Is giving to the people

# Who never never go to war

# We're glad it's all over

# We're glad it's all over

# It's giving to the people

# Who never never go to war

# We're glad it's all over

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Peace, man. Power to the people.

Sensible, quickly, run. Run.

He's got to do this next bit with me.

And I'm feeling...

BOTH: Glad it's all over!

# Up on the catwalk

# A big wheel is spinning

# And dollars to Deutschmarks

# And pennies from heaven

# And up on the catwalk

# There's one hundred million

# With letters from thousands

# That say, Just who are you?

# There's 1,000 names that can spring up in my mind

# But you'd call it blackmail and that's just not my kind

# And up on the catwalk

# Up on the catwalk

# And I don't know why

# I will be there I will be there

# I will be there

# I will be there I will be there

# Up on the catwalk

# There's street politicians

# That crawl in from Broadway

# Say then Who are you?

# And up on the catwalk

# There's 1,000 postcards

# From Montevideo

# Say that I'll be home soon

# Get out of Bombay

# And go up to Brixton

# And I look around to see

# Just what is missing

# And up on the catwalk

# Girls call for mother

# And dream of their boyfriends

# And I don't know why

# I will be there I will be there

# I will be there

# I will be there I will be there

# Tonight

# Under the crystal light

# I'll tell you everything I need

# Tonight

# Under the crystal light

# Surrender everything to me

# Up on the catwalk

# And you dress in waistcoats

# And got brilliantino

# And friends of Kim Philby

# You float through the night-time

# Like manna from heaven

# But what, what do I know?

# And just what do I know?

# And up on the catwalk

# In sweat that glistens

# And I don't know why

# I don't know why

# I will be there I will be there

# I will be there

# I will be there I will be there

# Tonight

# Under the crystal light

# Surrender everything to me

# Angel

# 1,000 names that spring up in my mind

# 1,000 names that spring up in my mind

# Like Deodata

# Michelangelo

# Robert de Niro

# So many others... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Siouxsie And The Banshees and Swimming Horses.

# Falling in your

# In your arms

# In your arms

# Fish on a line

# Learns to live on dry land

# Thrown back again to drown

# Kinder with poison

# Than pushed down a well

# Or a face burnt to hell

# Feel the cruel stones

# Breaking her bones

# Dead before born

# Words fall in ruins

# But no sound

# She's dying of your shame

# She maimed by your face

# He gives birth to swimming horses

# He gives birth to swimming horses

# Fish on a line

# Walking on dry land

# But back in the water to drown

# We drown

# Floating in sky

# He gives birth to swimming horses

# He gives birth to swimming horses

# Take a ride on the tide

# With the assassin at your side

# This weightlessness under water

# Forgets in slow motion

# And washes pointless tortures

# He gives birth to swimming horses

# He gives birth to swimming horses

# Floating in sky

# Like fishes can fly

# Through your arms. #
