You Can't Stop The Rock or TOTP. That was Apollo Four Forty.
It's time now for some home-grown talent.
They joined us in Glasgow in May
and don't like to travel far, so are joining us in Edinburgh tonight.
Please welcome the mighty Texas!
# I'm tired of telling the story
# Tired of telling it your way
# Yeah, I know what I saw
# I know that I found the floor
# Before you take my heart
# Reconsider
# Before you take my heart
# Reconsider
# I've opened the door
# Here comes the summer's son
# He burns my skin
# I ache again
# I'm over you
# I thought I had a dream to hold
# Maybe that has gone
# Your hands reach out and touch me still
# But this feels so wrong
# Before you break my heart
# Reconsider
# Before you take my heart
# Reconsider
# I've opened the door
# Here comes the summer's son
# He burns my skin
# I ache again
# I'm over you
# Here comes the winter's rain
# To cleanse my skin
# I wake again
# I'm over you
# Before you take my heart
# Reconsider
# Before you take my heart
# Reconsider
# I've opened the door
# Here comes the summer's son
# He burns my skin
# I ache again
# I'm over you
# Here comes the winter's rain
# To cleanse my skin
# I wake again
# I'm over you
# I'm over you. #
Thank you!
The Pride of Scotland - Texas.
Now we've got a real exclusive,
but Gaz, Danny and Micky insisted on packing up their tour bus and joining us.
They're live here in Edinburgh. They're back with a bang - Supergrass!
# Moving, just keep moving
# Till I don't know what's sane
# I've been moving so long
# The days all feel the same
# Moving, just keep moving
# Well I don't know what to say
# No ties to bind me
# No reasons to remain
# Got a mo-low feeling around me
# And a stone cold feeling inside
# And I just can't stop messing my mind up
# Or wasting my time
# Ooh!
# There's a mo-low feeling around me
# And a stone cold feeling inside
# I've got to find somebody to help me
# I'll keep you in mind
# So I keep moving, just keep moving
# Where I don't know who I am
# No need to follow
# There's no way back again
# Moving, keep on moving
# Where I feel I'm home again
# And when it's over
# I'll see you again
# Got a mo-low feeling around me
# And a stone cold feeling inside
# And I just can't stop messing my mind up
# Or wasting my time
# Ooh!
# There's a mo-low feeling around me
# And a stone cold feeling inside
# I've got to find somebody to help me
# I'll keep you in mind. #
Thank you.
They'll be back later in the show. That's Supergrass.
If you want tickets for TOTP '99,
we shall tell you later.
Talking of 1999, here is Binary Finary!
Get your pen and paper ready for the end of the show.
It's their second hit, but they've not made it to the TOTP studio.
But they're here with us tonight -
they're the fantastic, vivacious Hepburn!
# Can't tie me down Won't shut me up
# You will not win
# The purpose of this song's to say my life begins
# I want to fly I want to fly
# Reach out be healed Reach out be healed
# Don't want to die Don't want to die
# Like bugs on the windshield
# I'm driving down a dirt track road
# I know nowhere
# And up above the heavens spin
# I wish me there, I wish me there
# I want to fly I want to fly
# Reach out be healed Reach out be healed
# Don't want to die Don't want to die
# Like bugs on the windshield
# Don't talk to me I'm seeing red
# You're the last thing in my head
# I want to fly I want to fly
# Reach out be healed Reach out be healed
# Don't want to die Don't want to die
# It's time to steal It's time to steal
# I want to fly I want to fly
# Reach out be healed Reach out be healed
# Don't want to die Don't want to die
# Like bugs on the windshield
# Bugs on the windshield
# Bugs on the windshield. #
Into the garage for a full service for you. That's Hepburn.
Do you remember No Scrubs?
It hung about in the Top 20 for three months. Can they do it again?
Here with a special, exclusive performance for Top Of The Pops, it's TLC!
# I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
# Make you feel unpretty too
# I was told I was beautiful
# But what does that mean to you
# Look into the mirror Who's inside there
# The one with the long hair
# Same old me again today, yeah
# My outsides look cool my insides are blue
# Every time I think I'm through it's because of you
# I've tried different ways
# But it's all the same
# At the end of the day I have myself to blame
# I'm just trippin'
# You can buy your hair if it won't grow
# You can fix your nose if he says so
# You can buy all the make-up that man can make
# But if you can't look inside you
# Find out who am I too
# Be in the position to make me feel so damn unpretty
# I'll make you feel unpretty too
# Never insecure until I met you
# Now I'm being stupid
# I used to be so cute to me
# Just a little bit skinny
# Why do I look to all these things to keep you happy?
# Maybe get rid of you then I'll get back to me, hey
# My outsides look cool my insides are blue
# Every time I think I'm through it's because of you
# I've tried different ways but it's all the same
# At the end of the day I have myself to blame
# People trippin'
# You can buy your hair if it won't grow
# You can fix your nose if he says so
# You can buy all the make-up that man can make
# But if you can't look inside you
# Find out who am I too
# Be in the position to make me feel so damn unpretty
# I'll make you feel unpretty too
# Make you feel unpretty
# Oh, oh
# Oh, oh, oh
# Oh, oh
# Oh, oh, oh, oh
# Oh, oh
# Oh, oh, oh
# Oh, oh
# Oh, oh, oh, oh
# You can buy your hair if it won't grow
# You can fix your nose if he says so
# You can buy all the make-up that man can make
# But if you can't look inside you
# Find out who am I too
# Be in the position to make me feel so damn unpretty. #
From their album Fan Mail, TLC.
Now, an extra Texan treat - live, exclusive and acoustic,
it's the wonderful Texas.
# Yeah
# A-ha
# It doesn't feel right
# The lights are too bright
# I'm feeling uptight
# In my sensual world I need to be you
# I need to breathe too
# I need to see through life
# With these sensitive words
# I could blame it on you
# I could blame it on my instincts
# I could blame it on the train to the plane, the boat to the shore
# So tell me what's the answer
# No trouble in my face There's not one anxious voice
# You know I can't listen
# I can't listen
# You say that you are everything
# Do you taste good?
# So come on, come on, come on
# Come on, come on, come on
# No air around me
# I need to feel free
# I'm private property, yeah
# In my sensual world
# No indecisions
# I have a vision
# There's no collision there
# With these sensitive words
# I could blame it on you
# I could blame it on my instincts
# I could blame it on the train to the plane
# The boat to the shore
# So tell me what's the answer?
# No trouble in my face,
# There's not one anxious voice
# You know I can't listen
# I can't listen
# You say that you are everything
# Do you taste good?
# So come on, come on, come on
# Come on, come on, come on
# Yeah
# All from too much choice, yeah
# Yeah, yeah
# I could blame it on the train to the plane
# The boat to the shore
# So tell me what's the answer?
# No trouble in my face
# There's not one anxious voice
# You know I can't listen
# I can't listen
# You say that you are everything
# Do you taste good?
# So come on, come on, come on
# Come on, come on, come on
Hey, yeah
# Come on, come on, come on Hey, hey
# Come on, come on, come on
# I could blame it on the train to the plane
# The boat to the shore
# So tell me what's the answer, yeah. #
From their platinum album The Hush, that's Texas.
This next act has a lot of staying power - number two for three weeks.
Ibiza's got a lot to answer for. This is Alice Deejay!
# Do you think you're better off alone?
# Talk to me
# Ohhhhh
# Talk to me
# Ohhhhh
# Talk to me
# Do you think you're better off alone?
# Talk to me
# Ohhhhh
# Talk to me
# Ohhhhh
# Talk to me
# Talk to me. #
I promised they'd be back, and they're here with something special.
With a track from their new album, to be released next month,
it's class, it's Supergrass!
# I got a girl and her name is Mary
# I like to shock her on a basis daily
# I'd like to push you over into my stream
# I'd like to point out that our teeth are green
# I'll tell you stories that you won't understand
# I'll have you eating from the palm of my hand
# I'm gonna push you further into my dream
# The back of every head holds something obscene
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# I got the feeling you're not ordinary
# I got a head like falling masonry
# I'll cut your strings like you're some puppet machine
# I'll watch you drop and fall apart at the seams
# I'm out to get you let there be no doubt
# You wanna try and get your teeth knocked out
# I'm gonna push you further into my dream
# The back of every head holds something obscene
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah
# Ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah
# Ah-yah-yah. #
What a treat! That was the fabulous Supergrass.
This next track has been around for ages, and was made popular by a commercial.
It's the wonderful Bran Van 3000!
# Ooh
# Ah-ooh
# Ooh, ah-ooh
Yeah, it's all right this is liquid
# Ring-a-ding-a-ding it
# Want those three Bran Van tickets, man
# Ooh, ah-ooh
# What d'you think?
# Ooh
It's all right
# He's alive, alive!
# I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes
# When Mike came over with a script surprise
# A mafioso story with a twist
# A "To Wong Fu Julie Newmar" hitch
# "Get your ass outta bed!" he said
# I'll explain it on the way
# But we did nothing
# Absolutely nothing that day and I say
# What the hell am I doing drinking in LA at 26?
# Ooh, ah-ooh
# I got the fever for the flavour
# The payback will be later
# Still I need a fix
# Yeah, uh-huh
# Like
# And the girls on the bus kept on laughing at us
# As we rode on the 10 down to Venice again
# Blaring out the g-funk
# Sipping on juice and gin
# Just me and a friend
# Feeling kind of groovy workin' on a movie
# Yeah, right(!)
# But we did nothing
# Absolutely buttkiss that day and I'll say
# What the hell am I doing drinking in LA at 26?
# With my mind on my money and my money on my mind
# Yeah!
# I know that life is for the taking
# So I better wise up
# And take it quick
# Yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's
# Well, some men there wanted to hurt us
# And other men said we weren't worth the fuss
# You could see 'em all bitching by the bar
# About the fine line between the rich and the poor
# Then Mike turned to me and said, "What you think we got done, son?"
# We found the conclusion
# And I guess that's something
# So I ask you
# What the hell am I doing drinking in LA
# At 26?
# Ooh
# Ah-ooh
# I got the fever for the nectar
# The payback will be later
# Still I need a fix
# I'll fix you up, come on we'll fix it all up
# LA, LA
# L-LA, LA
# LA, LA
# L-LA, LA
# LA, LA
# L-LA
# So I ask you
# What the hell am I doing drinking in LA at 26?
# He's alive, alive!
# Yeah, mighty thirsty, I reckon
# LA
# LA. #
That was the TOTP chart and I'm the wee, local lass - Gail Porter.

Donde esta el hombre
Con fuego en la sangre?
# I've got a secret
# I cannot keep it
# It's just a whisper of distant memory
# Just a dream
# Or so it seems
# Take me back to the place I'd rather be
# You left fire in my eyes
# That lightens up the darkest skies
# I'm giving up I'm letting go
# I'll find my way, so
# Take me back to my sweet la vida
# Find my love, my dolce vita
# Show me where I need to go
# Donde esta mi chico latino?
# La-la-la-la
# Aiy-yai-yai-yai
# La-la-la
# Stolen moments
# Time has broken
# My eyes are open to this life-long mystery
# And so I'll go
# With what I know
# Take my chances and run with destiny
# Now there's fire in my eyes
# I break away and say goodbye
# I'm free to be I'm letting go
# I'll find my way, so
# Take me back to my sweet la vida
# Find my love my dolce vita
# Show me where I need to go
# Donde esta mi chico latino? #
Que sueno, dulce y pequeno
Yo no se
Pero no es un cuento
Mi corazon con tormento
Chico latino, te quiero
Y simplemente deseo
Yo lo se el camino
Es un sueno latino.
