That was Blue. And from Blue to red - a Red Light.

And the man who's really switched it on - here is Billy Ocean!

# Red light spells danger

# Can't hold out much longer

# Cos red light means warning

# Can't hold out, I'm burning

# No, no, no

# You took my heart and turned me on And now the danger sign is on

# Never thought the day would come

# When I would feel alone without you

# And now I'm like a child again

# You got me on a ball and chain

# Doin' things that I don't wanna

# I can't stop running to you Feel love coming to you

APPLAUSE

Billy Ocean there, and Red Light For Danger. Number 13 this week.

There's a real battle of the giants at the top of the chart this week.

At number two is David Soul, Going In With His Eyes Open.

Here, dancing very delightfully to that number, are Legs & Co.

They're lovely.

# You smile that misty way

# And something in me said

# Remember the last time

# Don't fall in love

# I walked so blindly in

# I fell and hurt my head

# Oh, I can't forget it

# But I won't regret it

# I couldn't even stop it if I tried

# Only this time I'm going in

# With my eyes open

# I won't make the same mistakes again

# This time I see the signs

# And no heart's broken

# Won't be so blind and lose my way

# It'd be so nice to love

# Don't let it end the same

# If you get uneasy

# Just let me know

# Don't lie or call me by

# Somebody else's name

# Oh, I couldn't take it

# I know it would break it

# And I wanna give you everything I am

# Only this time I'm going in

# With my eyes open

# I won't make the same mistakes again

# This time I see the signs and no heart's broken... #

# I only know what a heartache pays

# In broken nights and wasted days

# I really don't know what our love is doing to you

# I know you think that I don't care

# But I see your face everywhere

# Ooh, another funny honeymoon

# I sit alone in my room at night

# Nothing else to do

# Lost my mind and my appetite

# I'm as damaged as you

# Sweet success don't do me no good

# It's such a long way to go

# Dirty habits destroy my blood

# And it's beginning to show

# I only know what a heartache pays

# In broken nights and wasted days

# I really don't know what our love is doing to you

# I know you think that I don't care

# But I see your face everywhere

# Ooh, another funny honeymoon

# Well, it's gone and we'll let it go

# There's no new yesterday

# I know we didn't have very much to show

# But it's gone anyway

# I only know what a heartache pays

# In broken nights and wasted days

# I really don't know what our love is doing to you

# I know you think that I don't care

# But I see your face everywhere

# Ooh, another funny honeymoon

# I only know what a heartache pays

# In broken nights and wasted days

# I really don't know what our love is doing to you

# I know you think that I don't care

# But I see your face everywhere

# Oh, another funny honeymoon. #

Here's a man who's far from Rock Bottom, he's flying high -

this is Bernie Flint and I Don't Want To Put A Hold On You...

apart from a half-nelson. OH! Ooh...

# If you want to leave me

# Well, that's all right

# Come the morning find you gone

# Well... Well, I don't mind

# It's not that I don't love you, baby

# You know I do

# I don't want to put no hold on you

# Such a lovely feeling, darling

# Having you so near

# Gee, it's good to know that you're around

# But should you ever go away then let me make it clear

# I don't want to ever tie you down

# And if you should get restless

# Well, that's all right

# Find that you're in need of a change

# Well... Well, I don't mind

# Don't misunderstand me, baby

# My love is true

# I don't want to put no hold on you

# Such a lovely feeling, darling

# Having you so near

# Gee, it's good to know that you're around

# But should you ever go away

# Then let me make it clear

# I don't want to ever tie you down

# And if you want to leave me

Well, that's all right

# Come the morning, find you gone

# Well, I don't mind

# It's not that I don't love you, baby

# You know I do

This is the very distinctive sound of the Stylistics

hitting the jackpot with 7,000 And You.

And looking good!

# If I had 7,000 and you

# If I had all that bread

# What I wouldn't do

# I'd dress you up like a star Rent us a Cadillac car

# If I had 7,000 and you

# If I had 50,000 and you

# If I had all that bread

# What I wouldn't do

# I'd back a show on Broadway

# And you could be in the play

# If I had 50,000 and you

# If I had 100,000 and you

# If I had all the bread What I wouldn't do

# I'd buy my own private plane We'll spend our weekends in Spain

# If I had 100,000 and you

# But if I had a million dollars Baby, I won't need you

# If I had a million dollars Baby, I won't need you

# When you think of all that money, honey

# I'm sure you can understand I don't need you. #

APPLAUSE

That was the Stylistics, 7,000 And You.

Here's a little lady who comes from Wales, Bonnie Tyler.

She wants to be More Than A Lover, the cheeky girl.

I'll give her three weeks to change her mind! Bonnie Tyler.

# Blown in the breeze Falling like leaves

# Give me a chance to recover

# Deep in your eyes half of me lies

# Let me be more than a lover

# Let me be more than a lover

# Oh, let it be known You're my heart, you're my home

# You're the world that I wanna discover

# All I can give is the way that I live

# And I wanna be more than a lover

# Oh, let me be more than a lover

# Lovers are like stars in the night

# Never quite touching each other

# Deep in your eyes half of me lies

# Let me be more than a lover

# Let me be more than a lover

# Oh, let it be known You're my heart, you're my home

# You're the world that I wanna discover

# All I can give is the way that I live

# And I wanna be more than a lover

# Oh, let me be more than a lover

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

APPLAUSE

That was Bonnie Tyler. More Than A Lover.

It's a great pleasure to welcome Mike Nesmith,

formerly one of the Monkees.

Now with a great record out called Rio.

What gave you the inspiration to write a song about Rio?

Old Hollywood movies. I got into them.

-Have you ever been there?

-To Hollywood movies?

Have you ever been to Rio?

No, I never have, except in Hollywood movies.

It's got to be better than Shepherd's Bush,

that's all I can stay.

Good luck with the record. Thank you. Have a nice stay in Britain.

We are going to play you the number one sound

across the nation at the moment.

-Do you know what it is?

-Yes, it's a song by ABBA.

-What's it called?

-Not a clue.

-Knowing Me, Knowing You.

Lovely. We'll leave you with Elvis. Bye!

# Well, it's hard to be a gambler,

# Betting on the number that changes every time

# What she's all about

# What she's wanting through and through

# She's a complicated lady

# So colour my baby a moody blue... #
