Top of the Pops
When I was just a little kid
And all the world was black and white
The only thing I ever did
Was count the days till Thursday night
Every week I'd get my fill
Kind of breathless and eyes so wide
I remember those moments still
A door had opened and I stepped inside
Top of the Pops
That's where I want to be
On Top of the Pops
In 1973, in 1973
In my world of childish dreams
Pop music made me feel alive
I could be as cool as Lou Reed
Or I could join the Jackson Five
The heavenly voice of Marvin Gaye
Came from a place I'd never been
The bubble-gum of Sweet and Slade
The strangest men I'd ever seen
Top of the Pops
The world made sense to me
On Top of the Pops
In 1973, always 1973
David Bowie, Suzi Quatro and 10cc
'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree'
From the ridiculous to the sublime
There's Pan's People, dancing out of time
Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
That's where I want to be
Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
In 1973
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops in 1973
It's where I wanted to be
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops
It's where I want to be
The world made sense to me
In 1973
And all the world was black and white
The only thing I ever did
Was count the days till Thursday night
Every week I'd get my fill
Kind of breathless and eyes so wide
I remember those moments still
A door had opened and I stepped inside
Top of the Pops
That's where I want to be
On Top of the Pops
In 1973, in 1973
In my world of childish dreams
Pop music made me feel alive
I could be as cool as Lou Reed
Or I could join the Jackson Five
The heavenly voice of Marvin Gaye
Came from a place I'd never been
The bubble-gum of Sweet and Slade
The strangest men I'd ever seen
Top of the Pops
The world made sense to me
On Top of the Pops
In 1973, always 1973
David Bowie, Suzi Quatro and 10cc
'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree'
From the ridiculous to the sublime
There's Pan's People, dancing out of time
Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
That's where I want to be
Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
In 1973
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops in 1973
It's where I wanted to be
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops, Top of the Pops
Oh, oh, Top of the Pops
It's where I want to be
The world made sense to me
In 1973
