31/03/1983 Top of the Pops

Good evening and welcome to another Top Of The Pops.

Sorry about the studio tonight. It's a bit messy.

We're spring-cleaning and we couldn't get all the scenery in.

But we've made up for it with some excellent live bands in the studio,

all of them, kicking off with New Order,

playing live, singing live with Blue Monday.

# How does it feel

# When you treat me like you do

# And you've laid your hands upon me

# And told me who you are

# I thought I was mistaken

# And I thought I'd heard you speak

# Tell me how do I feel

# Tell me now, how do I feel

# Those who came before me

# Lived through their vocations

# From the past until completion

# They will turn away no more

# And I still find it so hard

# To say what I need to say

# But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me

# Just how I should feel today

INSTRUMENTAL

# I see a ship in the harbour

# I can and shall obey

# But if it wasn't for your misfortune

# I'd be a heavenly person today

# And I thought I was mistaken

# And I thought I'd heard you speak

# Tell me how should I feel

# Tell me now, how should I feel

# Now I stand here waiting

# And I thought I told you to leave me

# While I walked down to the street

# Tell me how does it feel

# When your heart grows cold

# Grows cold

# Grows cold. #

APPLAUSE

New Order, that's Blue Monday.

Here's another band with style now.

It's Tracie, Paul and Mick.

Collectively they're called The Style Council

and this is Speak Like A Child.

# Your hair hangs in golden steps

# You're a bona fide in every respect

# You are walking through streets that mean nothing to you

# You believe you're above it and I don't really blame you

# Maybe that's why you speak like a child

# The things you're saying like I'm so free and so wild

# And I believe it when you look in my eyes

# You offer me a life and never lies

# Least only the kind to make me smile

# Your clothes are clean and your mind is productive

# It shops in stores where only the best buy

# You're cool and hard never sound like a lecher

# It's probably true but at least there's no lecture

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# The crazy sayings boy, I'm so free and so wild

# You have to make a bargain with me now

# A promise that you won't change somehow

# No way, no how

# Spent all day thinking about you

# Spent all night coming to terms with it

# Time and conditions are built to tame

# Nothing lasts the same so people say

# But I will always try to feel the same

# Yeah

INSTRUMENTAL

# Spent all day thinking about you

# Spent all night coming to terms with it

# Time and conditions are built to tame

# Nothing lasts the same so people say

# But I will always try to feel the same

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# The way you hate the homely rank and the file

# The way you're so proud to be oh so free and so wild

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# The way you're so proud to be oh so free and so wild

# I really like it when you speak like a child

# I really like it when you speak like a child. #

APPLAUSE

That's The Style Council and Speak Like A Child.

Here's a song originally done by Julie London.

Here is Mari Wilson and Cry Me A River.

# Now you say you're lonely

# You cried the whole night through

# Well you can cry me a river

# Cry me a river

# Because I cried a river over you

# Now you say you're sorry

# For being so untrue

# Well you can cry me a river

# Cry me a river

# I cried a river over you

# You drove me

# Nearly drove me out of my head

# While you never shed a tear

# Remember

# I remember all that you said

# You told me love was too plebeian

# Told me you were through with me

# And now you say you love me

INSTRUMENTAL

# Now you say you love me

# Well, just to prove you do

# Come on and cry me a river

# Cry me a river

# I cried a river over you

INSTRUMENTAL

# I cried a river

# Over you. #

APPLAUSE

Mari Wilson, Cry Me A River.

She's out touring live at the moment.

Did a great show last Sunday night at the London Palladium.

-And now we have U2...

-Yes.

-..and Two Hearts Beat As One...

-Yes.

-Yes!

-Down there.

# I don't know

# I don't know which side I'm on

# I don't know my right from left

# Or my right from wrong

# Say I'm a fool

# You say I'm nothing

# But if I'm a fool for you

# Oh, that's something

# Two hearts beat as one

# Two hearts beat as one

# Two hearts

# I can't stop to dance

# Maybe this is my last chance

# I said I can't stop to dance

# Maybe this is my last chance

# Two hearts beat as one

# Two hearts beat as one

# Two hearts

# They beat on black

INSTRUMENTAL

# I don't know

# How to say what's got to be said

# I don't know if it's black or white

# There's others see red

# I don't get the answers right

# I leave that to you

# Is this love out of fashion

# Or is it the time of year

# Are these words distraction

# To the words you want to hear

# Two hearts beat as one

# Two hearts beat as one

# I try to spit it out

# I try to explain

# The way I feel

# Oh, yeah

# Two hearts... #

Top Of The Pops!

# Yeah

# Let's twist again

# Like we did last summer

# Oh, let's twist again

# Like we did last year

# Do you remember? #

APPLAUSE

Sid, listen, mate, what's it like to be an overnight sensation?
