# Your lights are on but you're not home

# You know you're gonna have to face it
# You're addicted to love
# You see the signs, but you can't read
# You're running at a different speed
# Your heart beats in double time
# Another kiss and you'll be mine
# A one track mind
# You can't be saved
# Oblivion is all you crave
# If there's some left for you
# You don't mind if you do
# Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff
# Oh, yeah
# It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
# You know you're gonna have to face it
# You're addicted to love
# Might as well face it
# You're addicted to love

APPLAUSE
That's Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer.
How nice to see he's turned his back on all of that sexist muck.
Here are The Real Thing on Top Of The Pops.
APPLAUSE
# No way, no way
# When I leave your door
# When we say goodnight
# It hurts me more and more
# Cos girl, it just ain't right
# To end a day like this
# With no more than a kiss
# And just spend the night dreaming
# Of the things we're gonna miss
# If I had my way
# Girl, we'd be together more and more each day
# We'd go on forever
# Lovers hand in hand
# Can't you understand
# Girl, you've got to be my woman
# I've got to be your man
# I can't get by without you
# I need you more each day
# The way I feel about you
# Leaves nothing more to say
# Cos I love you
# Girl, I need you
# And I can't get by without you, no way
# It's a sad affair
# Wasting precious time that you and I could share
# Girl, it's such a crime to hear you call my name
# It's a crying shame
# When we're not together
# Then there's only time to blame
# There will come a day
# Girl, I do believe
# It's not too far away
# When I can say good night
# And still be by your side
# To dry the tears you cried
# And I'll have all the love I need to keep me satisfied
# Cos I can't get by without you
# I need you more each day
# The way I feel about you
# Leaves nothing more to say
# Cos I love you
# Girl, I need you
# And I can't get by without you
# No way
# I can't get by without you
# I need you more each day
# The way I feel about you
# Leaves nothing more to say
# Cos I love you
# Girl, I need you
# And I can't get by without you
# No way
# I can't get by without you, babe
# No way
# No, can't get by, no
# No way
# The more I see you
# The more I want you
# No way
# Yes, I do
# No way.#

# It's the time of year now that spring is in the air
# When those two wet gits with their girly, curly hair
# Make another song for moronic holidays
# That nauseate-ate-ate
# In a million different ways
# From the shores of Spain
# To the coast of Southern France
# No matter where you hide
# You just can't escape this dance
# Hold a chicken in the air
# Stick a deckchair up your nose
# Buy a jumbo jet
# And then bury all your clothes
# Paint your left knee green
# Then extract your wisdom teeth
# Form a string quartet
# And pretend your name is Keith
# Skin yourself alive
# Learn to speak Arapahoe
# Climb inside a dog
# And behead an Eskimo
# Eat a Renault Four
# Wear salami in your ears
# Casserole your gran
# Disembowel yourself with spears
# The disco is vibrating
# The sound is loud and grating
# It's truly nauseating
# Let's do the dance again
# Hold a chicken in the air
# Stick a deckchair up your nose
# Yes, you'll hear this song
# In the holiday discos
# And there's no escape
# In the clubs or in the bars
# You would hear this song
# If you holidayed in Mars
# Skin yourself alive
# Learn to speak Arapahoe
# Climb inside a dog
# And behead an Eskimo
# Now you've heard it once
# Your brain will spring a leak
# And though you hate this song
# You'll be humming it for weeks
# Hold a chicken in the air
# Stick a deckchair up your nose
# Buy a jumbo jet
# And then bury all your clothes
# La-la-la-la-la
# La-la-la-la
# La-la-la-la-la
# La-la-la-la-la-laaaaa. #
APPLAUSE
Right, still number one.
I'm off to Nottingham to see The Very Things and Bogshed, Janice?
I'm going to do Radio One. Simon Bates and Gary Davies next week.
We're going to play you out with Peter Gabriel. Bye!
APPLAUSE
# If you just lay down your tracks
# You could have an aeroplane flying
# If you bring your blue sky back
# All you do is call me
# I'll be anything you need
# You could have a big dipper
# Going up and down, all around the bends
# You could have a bumper car
# Bumping
# This amusement never ends
# I wanna be
# Your sledgehammer
# Why don't you call my name?
# Oh, let me be your sledgehammer
# This will be my testimony
# Yeah
# Show me 'round your fruit cage
# Cos I will be your honey bee
# Open up your fruit cage
# Where the fruit is as sweet as can be
# I wanna be
# Your sledgehammer
# Why don't you call my name?
# Aw, you'd better call the sledgehammer
# This can be my testimony
# Aw! I'm your sledgehammer
# Let there be no doubt about it
# Sledge
# Sledge. #
