Hello, and welcome to this week's Top Of The Pops,
with no less than nine new numbers.
Kicking off with the first from Stiff Little Fingers over here.
# Yeah!
# She asks for more and I give less
# Why can't she see it's obvious?
# I mean 'no' but she takes 'yes'
# I make it clear but she don't guess
# She comes around, it gets me down
# But she don't catch a hint I drop
# She turns up, it turns me off
# And she don't know when to stop
# What am I supposed to do?
# How to gently break the news?
# How to get the message through?
# Perhaps I should just fade away
# She asked me out and I gave in
# Then she gave out and I felt mean
# I really want no more of us
# So I stay home, she comes across
# She comes round, I turn her down
# But she bounces back again
# She comes on, I turn her off
# But she don't get what's really plain
# What am I supposed to do?
# Got to get the message through
# Got to make her see the truth
# I wish she would just fade away
# Do you want to know
# Do I love you?
# The answer's no!
# Is that straight enough for you?
# She asked for it, I told her flat
# That I don't want no more of that
# I've really had you up to here
# And I don't even like you near
# If you come round, I won't be in
# I can't stand to see your face
# If we meet up then count me out
# Why don't you just fade away?
# Fade away
When love's not love
# When love's not love
# When love's not love, fade away! #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That was Jake and Stiff Little Fingers with Just Fade Away.
There's a song that's come into the Top 20,
it's at number 17 and it's terrific.
It's Dave Stewart with Colin Blunstone
and What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted?
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh
# Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
# Ooh, ooh, ooh
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
# As I walk this land of broken dreams
# I have visions of many things
# But happiness is just an illusion
# Filled with sadness and confusion
# What becomes of the brokenhearted?
# Who had love that's now departed?
# I know I've got to find
# Some kind of peace of mind
# Baby
# Ooh, ooh, ooh
# The roots of love
# Grow all around
# But for me they come a-tumbling down
# Every day, heartaches grow a little stronger
# I can't stand this pain much longer
# I walk in shadows, searching for light
# Cold and alone, no comfort in sight
# Hoping and praying for someone who cares
# Always moving and going nowhere
# What becomes of the brokenhearted?
# Who had love that's now departed?
# I know I've got to find
# Some kind of peace of mind
# Help me, please
# Ooh, ooh, ooh
# Now, what becomes of the brokenhearted?
# Who had love that's now departed?
# I know I've got to find
# Some kind of peace of mind
# I've been searching everywhere
# Just to find someone who cares
# I've been looking every day
# I know I'm going to find a way
# Nothing's going to stop me now
# I will find a way somehow
# I've been searching every day
# I know I'm going to find a way
# I've been looking everywhere
# Just to find someone who cares. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The lady's name is Ellie.
I don't know who the drummer is, I'm not sure I do want to know.
Every now and then they say that Stevie Wonder's finished.
Here's proof he isn't.
# Lately I have had the strangest feeling
# With no vivid reason here to find
# Yet the thought of losing you's been hanging
# Round my mind
# Far more frequently you're wearing perfume
# With you say, no special place to go
# But when I ask, will you be coming back soon?
# You don't know
# Never know
# Well, I'm a man of many wishes
# Hope my premonition misses
# But what I really feel
# My eyes won't let me hide
# Cos they always
# Start to cry
# Cos this time could mean
# Goodbye
# Oh, I'm a man of many wishes
# I hope my premonition misses
# But what I really feel
# My eyes won't let me hide
# Cos they always start to cry
# Cos this time could mean
# Goodbye. #
APPLAUSE
# Can you feel it
# Can you feel it... #
OK, on Top Of The Pops it's Legs & Co dancing to the new
Jacksons single, Can You Feel It.
# If you look around
# The whole world's coming together now
# Can you feel it
# Feel it in the air
# The wind is taking it everywhere
# Yeah
# Can you feel it
# All the colours of the world should be
# Loving each other wholeheartedly
# Yes, it's all right
# Take my message to your brother and tell him twice
# Spread the word, who tried to teach the man
# Who is hating his brother when hate won't do
# Hoo!
# Cos we're all the same
# Yes, the blood inside of me is inside of you
# Now tell me
# Can you feel it Tell me, can you feel it
# Can you feel it
# Hee!
# Can you see what's going down
# You can feel it in your bones
# Can you feel it
# Hee!
# Yeah, yeah
# Hoo!
# Every breath you take
# Is someone's death in another place
# Another place
# Every healthy smile
# Is hunger and strife to another child
# Another child, another child
# But the stars do shine
# And promising salvation is near this time
# Near this time
# Can you feel it now
# So brothers and sisters shall we know how
# Now tell me, can you feel it
# Tell me, can you feel it
# Can you feel it... #

Now last Sunday was Mothering Sunday
and a lot of kids went out and bought a record for their mum
and this is the record it looks they bought because suddenly it appeared in the charts.
It's the children of Tansley School and My Mummy's One In A Million.
# Mummies are people who spend every day
# Making us happy at home and at play
# Washing the dishes and doing the chores
# Cleaning and ironing and scrubbing the floors
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# When we're late home she is there at the door
# When we want toast then there's always some more
# Making us happy and making us glad
# Cheering us up when we are feeling sad
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me...
# Without all our mums, where would we be?
# There'd be nothing for breakfast, for lunch or our tea.
# We'd spend all the day feeling gloomy and sad
# We'd all really miss her and so would our dad.
# Hurray!
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# Mummies are people who spend every day
# Making us happy at home and at play
# Washing the dishes and doing the chores
# Cleaning and ironing and scrubbing the floors
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me
# My mummy is one in a million
# One in a million to me... #
Go on, Mum, please?
Oh, go on, Mum, it's not much.
Please? Oh, please?
# One in a million to me. #
Thanks, Mum.

Now, next Wednesday on BBC One, round about half past eight,
you can see the lady you're about to see on Top Of The Pops.
Hr name is Lena Zavaroni.
She's got a new single called Roses And Rainbows.
# So here I am
# Alone again
# Not at all like I thought that it would be
# Guess I lost my way
# Seems like yesterday
# Somebody promised me the sunshine
# Somebody promised me the moon
# Somebody told me there'd be roses and rainbows
# I only hope they'll get here soon
# Seems I've been waiting here forever
# Thinking that love was all for free
# All for free
# Someone's still waiting for those roses and rainbows
# I hope that someone won't be me
# So let go now
# You're on your own
# It's OK to be lonely now and then
# Open up your eyes
# You are much too wise
# If someone promises you sunshine
# You better know there'll still be rain
# If someone says he'll bring you roses and rainbows
# You'd better take a look again
# You'd better find out who you are girl
# Before you run to someone else
# Instead of waiting for those roses and rainbows
# You'd better give them to yourself
# Oh!
# Somebody promised me the sunshine
# Somebody promised me the moon
# Somebody told me there'd be roses and rainbows
# I only hope they'll get here soon
# And now I'm ready for the sunshine
# And I'm as happy as can be
# And all my days are filled with roses and rainbows
# My life belongs to me
# My life belongs
# To me
# Roses and rainbows
# Roses and rainbows. #

# You got to speed it up
# And then you've got to slow it down
# Cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
# You gotta play around
# And soon you will find that there comes a time
# For making your mind up
# You gotta turn it off
# And then you gotta pull it out
# You gotta be sure that it's something
# Everybody's going to talk about
# Before you decide that the time's arrived
# For making your mind up
# Don't let your indecision
# Take you from behind
# Trust your inner vision
# Don't let others change your mind
# And now you really gotta burn it up
# And make another fly by night
# Gotta run for your money and take a chance
# It'll turn out right
# But when you can see how it's gotta be
# You're making your mind up... #
INSTRUMENTAL
# And try to look as if you don't care less
# But if you want to see some more
# Then the rules of the game
# Will let you find the one you're looking for
# And then you can show that you think you know
# You're making your mind up
# Don't let your indecision
# Take you from behind
# Trust your inner vision
# Don't let others change your mind
# And now you've really gotta speed it up
# And then you've gotta slow it down
# Cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
# You've got to play around
# Until you will find that there comes a time
# For making your mind up
# And now you've really gotta speed it up
# And then you've gotta slow it down
# Cos if you believe that a love can hit the top
# You've gotta play around
# Until you will find that there comes a time
# For making your mind up
# For making your mind up. #
