30/07/1981 Top of the Pops

Hello, good evening. Welcome to another edition of

Top Of The Pops. Among the stars tonight,

Kim Wilde, Spandau Ballet, Stevie Wonder

and this lot, Duran Duran.

# See them walking hand in hand

# Across the bridge at midnight

# Heads turning cos the lights

# Flashing out are so bright

# Then walk right out to the fourline track

# There's a camera rolling on her back

# On her back

# And I sense the rhythm humming

# In a frenzy all the way down her spine

# Girls on film

# Girls on film

# Girls on film

# Girls on film

# Lipstick cherry all over the lens as she's falling

# In miles of sharp blue water coming in where she lies

# The diving man's coming up for air

# Cos the crowd all love pulling dolly by the hair

# By the hair

# And she wonders how she ever got here

# As she goes under again

# Girls on film

# Two minutes later

# Girls on film

# Girls on film

# Got your picture

# Girls on film

# Wider baby smiling You just made a million

# Fuses pumping Live heat twisting out on a wire

# Take one last glimpse into the night

# I'm touching close I'm holding bright

# Holding tight

# Give me shudders in a whisper

# Take me up till I'm shooting a star

# Girls on film

# She's more than a movie

# Girls on film

# Girls on film

# Two minutes later

# Girls on film

# Girls on film

# See you together

# Girls on film. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Duran Duran and Girls On Film.

Right, third hit in a row for Kim Wilde.

APPLAUSE

# Cascading down

# There's a sound vaporising into vision

# It's a sound in my head

# That I feel and it shuts me in a prison

# Say it won't last

# Say it will pass

# Always the sound in my brain

# Can you hear it? Can you hear it?

# Water on glass running down again

# Water on glass, that sound

# Water on glass running round again

# Help me, the sound of running water's coming down

# Dancing away

# Like the lights on a moving coloured river

# Sounds in my head seem to run

# And again I feel a shiver

# Say it won't last

# Pray it will pass

# Always that sound in my brain

# Can you hear it? Can you hear it?

# Water on glass running down again

# Water on glass, that sound

# Water on glass running round again

# Help me, the sound of running water's coming down

# Cascading down

# There's a sound vaporising into vision

# It's a sound in my head

# That I feel and it shuts me in a prison

# Say it won't last

# Say it will pass

# Always the sound in my brain

# Can you hear it? Can you hear it?

# Water on glass running down again

# Water on glass, that sound

# Water on glass running round again

# Help me, the sound of running water's coming down

# Water on glass

# Running down again

# That sound

# Running round again. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That is Marty Wilde's daughter - yes, it is - and Water On Glass.

Right now we have New Life from Depeche Mode. Over there.

APPLAUSE

# I stand still stepping on the shady streets

# And I watched that man to a stranger

# You think you only know me when you turn on the light

# Now the room is lit, red danger

# Complicating, circulating

# New life, new life

# Operating, generating

# New life, new life

# Transitions to another place

# So the time will pass more slowly

# Features fuse and your shadow's red

# Like a film I've seen now show me

# Complicating, circulating

# New life, new life

# Operating, generating

# New life, new life

# Your face is hidden and we're out of sight

# And the road just leads to nowhere

# The stranger in the door is the same as before

# So the question answer's nowhere

# Complicating, circulating

# New life, new life

# Operating, generating

# New life, new life

# I stand still stepping on the shady streets

# And I watched that man to a stranger

# You think you only know me when you turn on the light

# Now the room is lit, red danger

# Complicating, circulating

# New life, new life

# Operating, generating

# New life, new life. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's Depeche Mode and New Life. Now come's the quiet Rolling Stone,

Bill Wyman.

APPLAUSE

# Said she come from Rio

# Lived on a mountain

# I met her in Trafalgar Square

# She was sitting in the fountain

# She took off her hat

# And she had lovely hair

# She was a disco dancer

# At the Coco Cabana there

# South American lady

# You've got that crazy beat

# Brazilian beauty

# With the flashing feet

# We danced to the music

# At the Mardi Gras

# Then jumped on the Concorde

# You're so la-di-dah

# Si, si

# Si, si

# Si, si

# Si, si

# Took her to a disco

# In Battersea

# I asked her to dance

# And then she danced with me

# And then I took a chance

# Come home with me today

# I live in France

# We can get there B-E-A

# Je suis un rock star

# Je avais un residence

# Je habiter la

# A la south de France

# Voulez-vous

# Partir with me?

# And come and rester la

# With me in France

# But B-E-A's on strike

# There's no planes flying

# I can rent a motorbike

# At least I'm trying

# We could go on the hovercraft

# Across the water

# They'll think I'm your dad

# And you're my daughter

# Je suis un rock star

# Je avais un residence

# Je habiter la

# A la south de France

# Voulez-vous

# Partir with me?

# And come and rester la

# With me in France

# Je suis un rock star

# Je avais un residence

# Je habiter la

# A la south de France

# Voulez-vous

# Partir with me?

# And come and rester la

# With me in France

# Je suis un rock star

# Je avais un residence

# Je habiter la

# A la south de France

# Voulez-vous

# Partir with me?

# You know it doesn't make much sense

# There ought to be a law against

# Anyone who takes offence

# At a day in your celebration

# Cos we all know in our minds

# That there ought to be a time

# That we can set aside

# To show just how much we love you

# And I'm sure you would agree

# What could fit more perfectly?

# Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy Birthday

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday

# I just never understood

# How a man who died for good

# Could not have a day that would

# Be set aside for his recognition

# Because it should never be

# Just because some cannot see

# The dream as clear as he

# That they should make it become an illusion

# And we all know everything

# That he stood for time will bring

# For in peace our hearts will sing

# Thanks to Martin Luther King

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday

# Why has there never been a holiday? Yay

# Where peace is celebrated

# All throughout

# The world

# The time is overdue

# For people like me and you

# Who know the way to truth

# Is love and unity to all God's children

# It should be a great event

# And the whole day should be spent

# In full remembrance

# Of those who lived and died for the oneness of all people

# So let us all begin

# We know that love can win

# Let it out don't hold it in

# Sing it loud as you can

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday

# Happy Birthday to you. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I checked the time

# It was almost time

# A curious smell

# An intangible crime

# I'm washing my clothes

# But the stain still grows

# Cover your eyes

# The stain still shows

# I feel the graze against my skin

# I feel the graze against my skin

# I know this feeling is a lie

# I know this feeling is a lie

# There's a guilt within my mind

# There's a guilt within my mind

# I know this feeling is a lie

# I know this feeling is a lie

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# Oh, I should question, not ignore

# Oh, I should question, not ignore

# Songs are always buried deep

# Songs are always buried deep

# There's a lion in my arms

# There is a motion in my arm

# Oh, I should question, not ignore

# I should believe and not ignore

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# I don't need this pressure on

# You go down, down Pass the talk of town

# You go down Greek street Then it's underground

# Well it's Soho life For this mobile knife

# It's the place to shoot Friday night beat route

I don't need this pressure on

I don't need this pressure on

I don't need this pressure on. #

# Here, when all my work is done, babe

# She calls and says

# "Dear, can I come?"

# I say to her

# That you know our love has gone

# Yeah

# But aggressive heart

# No, really not the one

# She comes to the door

# Crying at my feet

# Guilt shines in her eyes

# As she slowly sinks in deep

# You know our love couldn't last forever

# Persuade your way

# But you ain't clever

# I close the door and I say never

# I don't care

# What you're saying

# Walk right now

# I ain't playing

# Love elsewhere

# For you I'm praying

# Don't look back

# You ain't staying

# Here, I'm crying

# I can't sleep

# I sigh cos I thought this would never be

# Yeah

# I say

# "Ooh, I'm screaming out for someone"

# And now she's knockin' on the door for me

# She just won't leave me alone

-# She wants to speak with me

-Speak with me

-# And persuade me in her arms

-Persuade me

# And now she's calling on the phone for me

# Oh, just won't leave me alone... #
