30/05/1985 Top of the Pops

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to a very, very live Top Of The Pops.

Peely can't make it, I'm going to cope on my own.

In the studio we've got Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark,

we've got Scritti Politti, we've got Billy Ocean and we've got this guy.

He's going to kill me because he doesn't want anybody to know

it's his birthday. But happy birthday Stephen Tintin Duffy.

APPLAUSE

# Baby, let me make you a statue

# To stand outside the council house

# To stand as a reminder of what you are

# And what you want to be

# I want to live with you

# Want to sleep with you

# In a house, in a peaceful world

# They want to take you

# They want to break you

# Don't let them make you unhappy

# You are the icing on the cake

# The party on the street

# The love you cannot fake

# The truth you cannot cheat

# Cheat

# You were left on the doorstep

# Of the social

# Security

# You were hoping for a future

# As someone, not just a leisure refugee

# I always saw you as a fighter

# And a winner

# Not content to only write your name

# Their right way is the wrong way for what you are

# And what you were born to be

# Born to be young and free, to be young and wise

# Not to listen to all their lies

# Don't let them take you

# Don't let them break you

# Don't let them make you unhappy

# You

# Are the icing on the cake

# The party on the street

# The love you cannot fake

# The truth you cannot cheat

# Cheat

# Cheat

-# It's the icing, icing

-Icing on the cake

# The love you cannot fake

# The party on the street

# The love you cannot fake

# It's the truth

# The truth you cannot cheat

# Here we come waltzing home by the moon so bright

# By the sea, by the harbour wall

# They want to take you

# They want to break you

# Shape you and make you unhappy

# You

# Are the icing on the cake

# The party on the street

# The love you cannot fake

# The truth you cannot cheat

# The icing on the cake

# The party on the street

# The love you cannot fake

# The truth you cannot cheat. #

APPLAUSE

And it's the second highest climber this week,

it's Animotion at 12 with Obsession.

# You are an obsession

# I cannot sleep, I'm your possession

# Unopened at your feet

# There's no balance

# No equality

# Be still, I will not accept defeat

# I will have you, yes, I will have you

# I will find a way

# And I will have you

# Like a butterfly

# A wild butterfly

# I will collect you and capture you

# You are an obsession

# You're my obsession

# Who do you want me to be

# To make you sleep with me?

# You are an obsession

# You're my obsession

# Who do you want me to be

# To make you sleep with me?

# I feed you, I drink you

# By day and by night

# I need you, I need you

# By sun and candlelight

# You protest

# You want to leave

# Stay

# Oh, there's no alternative

# Your face appears again

# I see the beauty there

# But I see danger

# Stranger beware

# A circumstance

# In your naked dreams

# Your affection

# Is not what it seems

# You are an obsession

# You're my obsession

# Who do you want me to be

# To make you sleep with me?

# You are an obsession

# You're my obsession

# Who do you want me to be

# To make you sleep with me? #

Just had a phone call from the States to say that

Billy Ocean is number four over there.

By the way, he's British, he isn't American.

-You really like him, don't you?

-I think he's wonderful.

Billy Ocean is standing over there.

He's number 18 in the charts with Suddenly.

# Ooooh

# I used to think that love was just a fairy tale

# Until that first hello

# Until that first smile

# But if I had to do it all again

# I wouldn't change a thing

# Cos this love is everlasting

# Suddenly

# Life has new meaning to me

# There's beauty up above

# And things we never take notice of

# You wake up and suddenly you're in love

# Oooh, yeah

# Girl, you're everything a man could want and more

# One thousand words are not enough

# To say what I feel inside

# Holding hands as we walk along the shore

# Never felt like this before

# Now you're all I'm living for

# Suddenly

# Life has new meaning to me

# There's beauty up above

# And things we never take notice of

# You wake up and suddenly you're in love

# Each day

# I pray

# This love affair would last forever

# Oooh, suddenly

# Life has new meaning to me

# There's beauty up above

# And things we never take notice of

# You wake up and suddenly

# You're in love

# Oooh, there's beauty up above

# Things we never take notice of

# You wake up and suddenly

# You're in love

# Ooooh-hooo

# Hoooo. #

APPLAUSE

Big here, big in the States, Billy Ocean. Nice guy.

Let's have a look at the more interesting movements now

in the charts.

It's the Top 40 Breakers.

Well, the Germans move in at number 36,

and it's the classically trained, the wonderful Propaganda with Duel.

# Some memories of gone by time

# Would still recall the lies

# The first cut won't hurt at all

# The second only makes you wonder

# The third will have you on your knees

# You start bleeding, I start screaming... #

Mai Tai pop over here next week. They're in at 32 with History.

And watch out, spot the Prince lookalike.

# Better let it get to you

# When it got to lovin', you were never there

# All that I could do was dream

# When I need some huggin'

# You never, ever cared

# Did you have to be that mean?

# Going to burn your letters, going to burn your letters

# Going to burn the letters you were sending me

# Our love is history

# Going to burn the letters you were sending me

# Going to burn them up, going to burn them up

# Going to burn, burn, burn

# Our love is history

# Going to burn the letters you were sending me

# Going to burn the letters

# Our love is history. #

# Now I am alone...

Pilot and pop star, it's Gary Numan who lands at 27

with the Live EP, remember, Are Friends Electric?

# Please stand up

# A candle lit a shadow on a wall near the bed

# Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo

# Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo

# Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo

# Whoo-ooo, whoo-ooo

# You know how I hate to ask

# But are friends... #

It's good to do Top Of The Pops with mates and these guys, well,

they're my old drinking partners.

They're at number 28 this week,

it's Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and So in Love.

# Talk to me, don't lie to me

# Save your breath

# Don't look at me, don't smile at me

# Just close your eyes

# I was so impressed by you

# I was running blind

# I would fall for every trick

# Every twist of mind

# Heaven is cold

# Without any soul

# It's hard to believe

# I was so in love with you

# Don't say your prayers, don't build your hopes

# Just walk away

# Don't phone me up, don't call around

# Don't waste your time

# You were so in awe of me

# You were so divine

# You would do just anything

# To still be mine

# Heaven is cold

# Without any soul

# It's hard to believe

# I was so in love with you

# All the things you said to me

# I was so obsessed

# You were always talking, talking

# God, I did my best

# Heaven is cold without any soul

# It's hard to believe

# I was so in love with you

# I was so in love with you

# Heaven is cold without any soul

# It's hard to believe

# I was so in love with you

# I was so in love with you

# Heaven is cold without any soul

# It's hard to believe

# I was so in love with you

# I was so in love... #

APPLAUSE

Tuck your shirt in, McCluskey.

At 15 this week, it's a band

who've been featured on The Archers no less.

Over there, Scritti Politti and The Word Girl.

CHEERING

# To do what I should do

# To long for you to hear

# I open up my heart

# And watch her name appear

# A word for you to use

# A girl without a cause

# A name for what you lose

# When it was never yours

# Ooh, doo-doo-doo

# The first time, baby, that I came to you

# I'd do things that you want me to

# The second time, baby, that I came to you

# But, oh, you found my love for you

# The third time, baby, that I came to you

# Oh, oh, oh, I knew

# The last time, baby, that I came to you

# Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word

# A name the girl outgrew

# The girl was never real

# She stands for your abuse

# The girl is no ideal

# It's a word for what you do

# In a world of broken rules

# She found a place for you

# Along her chain of fools

# Ooh, doo-doo-doo

# The first time, baby, that I came to you

# I'd do things that you want me to

# The second time, baby, that I came to you

# For, oh, you found my love for you

# The third time, baby, that I came to you

# Oh, oh, oh, I knew

# The last time, baby, that I came to you

# Oh, how your flesh and blood became the word

# Oh, how

# Your flesh and blood

# Oh, how

# Your flesh and blood

# Oh, how

# Your flesh and blood... #

Your guess is as good as mine

as to what's going to be Number 1 next week.

Paul Hardcastle is still there, fourth week, 19.

# Unlike Vietnam, World War II saw America unite

# Behind their fighting men

# The two wars were just as different on the front lines

# As they were back home

# Nine-nine-nine-nine, nine-nine-nine, 19

# Nine-nine-nine-nine, nine-nine-nine, 19

# Nine-nine-nine-nine, nine-nine-nine, 19

# Nine-nine-nine-nine, nine-nine-nine, 19

# Hundreds of thousands of men who saw heavy combat in Vietnam

# Have been arrested since discharge

# Their arrest rate is almost twice that of non-veterans

# Of the same age

# There are no accurate figures on how many of these men

# Have been incarcerated

# But a veterans administration study concludes

# That the greater of vets' exposure to combat

# The more likely his chance of being arrested or convicted

# This is one legacy of the Vietnam War

# All those who remember the war

# They won't forget what they've seen

# Destruction

# Of men in their prime

# Whose average age was 19

# Dedededededede-Destruction

# Dedededededede-Destruction

# After World War II the men came home together in troop ships

# Often less than 48 hours after jungle combat

# Perhaps the most dramatic difference between World War II

# And Vietnam was coming home

# None of them received a hero's welcome

# None of them, none of them received a hero's welcome

# None of them, none of them

# None-none-none none of them, none of them, none of them

# None of them, none of them, none of them

# None of them, none of them, none of them

# None of them, none of them, none of them

# None of them received a hero's welcome

# None of them received a hero's welcome

# None of them received a hero's welcome

# None of them received a hero's welcome... #

And then we came back and we were different

and everybody wants to know, God,

what happened to those guys over there?

There's got to be something wrong somewhere.

We did what we had to do.

There's got to be something wrong somewhere.

And people wanted us to be ashamed of what it made us.

They had no idea what it meant.

All we want to do is come home.

-Why?

-All we want to do is come home.

-What did we do it for?

-All I want to do is come home.

# Was it worth it? #

APPLAUSE

So it's still Paul Hardcastle at Number 1.

What will it be next week? On next week's show, by the way,

it's Richard Skinner and it's also Simon Bates.

Next on BBC 1 you've got Little and Large.

I'm going to find somebody to dance with. Five Star, All Fall Down.

Bye! See you.

You'll do, come here.

# I used to wake up at night feeling so lonely

# Before I knew you really loved me

# I used to cry in my sleep tears on my pillow

# I didn't know you wanted to know

# Now you've changed my world

# I'm wondering

# How to keep myself from falling over

# You're a special boy, my baby

# And when you touch me

# All fall down

# Does it have to make me feel that way?

# It's pickin' me up to the highest

-# Love I've ever known

-All fall down

# I'm dizzy when I think of you

# If ever a star was the brightest

# You know you can lead me home

# Higher

# Higher, yeah

# I used to be so unsure

# Afraid I'd discover

# You'd want a friend but not a lover

# But there's no fear in my mind

# Cos now we're together

# Our love keeps growing bigger, better

# I could jump for joy, you sweet thing

# See me walk on air, and people staring

# They're looking at a mystery

# And when, when it's not really

# All fall down

# Does it have to make me feel that way?

# It's pickin' me up to the highest

# Love I've ever known

# All fall down

# I'm dizzy when I think of you

# Wherever you go, I'll follow

# Cos you can lead me home. #
