CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hi, welcome. It's Thursday night. It's Top Of The Pops.
We have the new A-Ha video coming up a little later on in the programme.
And also on video, Whitney Houston.
Plus this week - a special week on Top Of The Pops
because after five weeks of Kylie Minogue at number 1,
we have a new number 1.
And, for starters, here's Sinitta, Cross My Broken Heart.
# It looks like I was a fool about him
# My friend told me he would break my heart
# I just kept thinking that he really loved me
# And he'd never wanna see us break apart
# But last night I was talking
# With my best friend
# She said she had something
# To say to me and then
# She told me secret I promised that I'd keep it
# Cross my heart and hope to die
# The boy she was meeting was my guy, he was cheating
# Cross my broken heart and said goodbye
# It seems like I was so wrong about you
# It looks like I'm gonna get hurt again
# And I'm gonna have to get by without you
# Right back here on my own again
# Cos last night I was talking
# With my best friend
# She said she had something
# To say to me and then
# She told me secret I promised that I'd keep it
# Cross my heart and hope to die
# The boy she was meeting was my guy, he was cheating
# Cross my broken heart and said goodbye
# Promise A secret
# Cos last night I was talking
# With my best friend
# She said she had something
# To say to me and then
# She told me secret I promised that I'd keep it
# Cross my heart and hope to die
# The boy she was meeting was my guy, he was cheating
# Cross my broken heart and said goodbye
# She told me a secret I promised that I'd keep it
# Cross my heart and hope to die
# The boy she was meeting was my guy, he was cheating
# Cross my broken heart and said goodbye
# She told me a secret I promised that... #
Brilliantly designed - that dress stayed on with absolutely no stress at all.
That's Sinitta and broken promises and broken hearts were crossed.
A-Ha have been off the scene, but they're back now.
Here, for the first time on Top Of The Pops,
is Stay On These Roads.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# The cold has a voice
# It talks to me
# Stillborn by choice
# But it has no need
# To hold
# Old man feels the cold
# Oh, baby, don't Cos I've been told
# Stay on these roads
# We shall meet, I know
# Stay on, my love
# We shall meet, I know, I know
# Where joy should reign
# These skies restrain
# Shadow your love
# The voice trails off again
# Old man feels the cold
# Oh, baby, don't Cos I've been told
# Stay on these roads
# We shall meet, I know
# Stay on, my love
# You feel so weak, be strong
# Stay on, stay on
# We shall meet, I know, I know
# I know, my love, I know
# Feel the cold
# Winter's gone and I'm on my own
# Stay on these roads
# We shall meet, I know
# Stay on, my love
# We will meet, I know
# So stay on
# I know
# Stay, my love, stay on
# We will meet, I know, I know. #

Next on Top Of The Pops, a guy who, later on tonight,
is going to be doing a remix of Come Into My Life with Joyce Sims.
His name is Simon Harris. He's got a hit with Bass (How Low Can You Go?)
Here it is.

At number 16 with Bass (How Low Can You Go?)
The top 40 breakers...
CHEERING
And the first of those is from Wet Wet Wet. It's called Temptation.
It goes up 11 to this week's number 25.
# Cos you gimme Gimme
# Gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
# Show me one more sign
# Give me one more time
# Cos you gimme Gimme
# Gimme, gimme, gimme temptation
# Sing along, baby
# For the love of the children
# First you make me move
# Until I'm so damn close
# Well, take me back again
# Oh, take me back again
# Say I'm mighty thankful
# But it's much too easy
# You got your
# Paying dues and learning vices...#
There are so many good songs this spring.
Here's one - Debbie Gibson's Only In My Dreams.
# And remember how it used to be
# If only I could scold you
# And forget how it feels to be free
# No, only in my dreams
# As real as it may seem
# It was only in my dreams
# No
# No, no, no
# Only in my dreams
# As real as it may seem
# It was only in my dreams. #
Well, I'm really pleased this next song is being re-released.
It's now a hit. It's gone up 12 this week to 26.
It's Climie Fisher's great track called Love Changes Everything.
# I've never been the same
# I felt the strangest feeling
# Like a raging fire it burned
# She left, I cried for weeks
# And I can't forget her or the lesson that I learned
# Love changes, changes everything
# Love makes you fly
# It can break your wings, ooh
# Love changes, changes everything
# Love makes the rules From fools to kings
# Love changes
# Love changes everything. #
Love changes everything. It's amazingly how the chart changes.
Now, at number 4 this week is a song that I never thought I'd see there.
It's Iron Maiden and Can I Play With Madness?
on Top Of The Pops.
# Give me the sense to wonder
# To wonder if I'm free
# Give me a sense of wonder
# To know I can be me
# Give me the strength to hold my head up
# Spit back in their face
# Don't need no key to unlock this door
# Gonna break down the walls
# Break out of this bad place
# Can I play with madness?
# The prophet stared at his crystal ball
# Can I play with madness?
# There's no vision there at all
# Can I play with madness?
# The prophet looked at me and laughed at me, ha ha
# He said
# Can I play with madness?
# He said you're blind, too blind to see
# Oh, said you're too blind to see
# I screamed aloud to the old man
# I said, "Don't lie Don't say you don't know"
# I say, "You'll pay for this mischief
# "In this world or the next"
# Oh, and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
# And the hell fires raged in his eyes
# He said, "You wanna know the truth, son?
# "Lord, I'll tell you the truth
# "Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire"
# Can I play with madness?
# The prophet stared at his crystal ball
# Can I play with madness?
# There's no vision there at all
# Can I play with madness?
# The prophet looked at me and laughed at me, ha ha
# He said
# Can I play with madness?
# He said you're blind, too blind to see
# Oh
# "Listen to me," said the prophet. #

Top 10 in just a moment. And looking ahead at that top 10,
a real big climber at number 5 this week.
It's a real tear-jerker, as well.
She's had one huge hit. This is the second.
Could've Been, here's Tiffany.
# The flowers you gave me are just about to die
# When I think about
# What could've been
# Makes me want to cry
# The sweet words you whispered didn't mean a thing
# I guess our song is over
# As we began to sing
# Could've been so beautiful
# Could've been so right
# Could've been my lover
# Every day of my life
# Could've been so beautiful
# Could've been so right
# I'll never know
# What could've been on a cold and lonely night
# The memories of your loving still linger in the air
# Like the faded scent of your roses
# They stay with me everywhere
# Every time I get my hopes up
# They always seem to fall
# Still what could've been
# Is better than what can never be at all
# At all
# Could've been so beautiful
# Could've been so right
# Could've been my lover
# Every day of my life
# Could've been so beautiful
# Could've been so right
# You can't know what could've been
# On a cold and lonely night
# Could've been so beautiful
# Could've been so right... #
What's good about that is it proves Tiffany can sing.
The song is called Could've Been and it's Tiffany.
Next is the top 10 big sellers.

And up 15 at 2, Drop The Boy. It's Bros.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And a new number 1,
and one of Pete's all-time favourite bands, right?
A band I've been playing their records for so many years now.
So good to see them at number 1. It's Aswad, Don't Turn Around.
# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
# If you wanna leave, baby
# I won't beg you to stay
# And if you wanna go, darling
# Maybe it's better that way
# I'm gonna be strong
# I'm gonna be fine
# Don't worry about this heart of mine
# Walk out the door
# See if I care
# Go on and go now
# Don't turn around
# Cos you're gonna see my heart breakin'
# Don't turn around
# I don't want you seein' me cryin'
# Just walk away
# It's tearin' me apart that you're leavin'
# I'm lettin' you go
# And I won't let you know
# Baby, I won't let you know
# I won't miss your arms around me
# Holdin' me tight
# And if you ever think about me
# Just know that I'm gonna be all right
# I'm gonna be strong
# I'm gonna be fine
# Don't worry about this heart of mine
# I know I'll survive, yeah
# I'll make it through
# And I'll learn to live without you
# But don't turn around
# Cos you're gonna see my heart breakin'
# Don't turn around
# I don't want you seein' me cryin'
# Just walk away
# It's tearin' me apart that you're leavin'
# I'm lettin' you go

See you next week. Don't miss it.
There may be a new number 1. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
CHEERING
# Dreams don't turn to gold
# And that there is no easy way
# No, you just can't run away
# When what we had was so much more
# Than we ever had before
# And no matter how I try
# You're always on my mind
# So here I am
# And can you please tell me, oh
# Where do broken hearts go?
# Can they find their way home
# Back to the open arms
# Of a love that's waiting there?
# And if somebody loves you
# Won't they always love you?
# I look in your eyes
# And I know that you still care for me
# And now that I am here with you
# I'll never let you go
# I look into your eyes... #
