Chords for Sandie Shaw Top of the Pops The 1984 Story

_ _ _ _ _ _ Two four six [G] eight here we go.
Don't be [Eb] late
_ 1984 wasn't just about new pop princesses
[Ab] Sandy Shaw was a 24 [Eb] carat 60s icon famous for singing [Ebm] and driving with bare feet
But [Eb] she hadn't been on top of the pops for more than a decade
[Ab] _ [Eb] I have been [Bb] what they call off-grid
for quite a while [Ebm] at that time and
[G] And I was ready to do something crazy
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] [Bm] What could be crazier than teaming up with indie guitar band the [D] Smiths and stepping into the shoes metaphorically [A] speaking
[Bm] charismatic frontman Morrissey
_ _ When they told me that we could go on top of the pops
Oh, [D] no, _ I don't know what to wear
[G] _ _
_ [Gb] And then I said, you know [Bm] what I'm gonna wear [Gb] shoes
[D] Let's just throw everything out.
I'm gonna wear [C] shoes.
Here's Andy Shaw with the Smiths and handing [Bb] glove
Morrissey gave me a belt to wear
And I'm wearing these stilettos.
It was all about that.
I just didn't think about music
Until actually until I actually [E] got on the stage
[G] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [G] _ [E] I
Remember turning around and I saying that they've all taken their shoes off
So they'd obviously thought about it and I could hear [Dm] Morrissey on the side as well sort of moaning a bit [C]
nicely moaning
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
What I liked about that track was this [C] fabulous bass riff that [Bb] goes all the way through it
[C] I could feel it under the floor, [Bb] you know, so I thought oh [Dm] shit.
I'll lay on the floor.
I'll really feel it _
_ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] Sandy was savvy enough to know that if [Bb] you're going to roll around with your legs in the air
You've got to know where the [G] camera is.
_ [Dm] I
[D] Did it with the camera which was behind me.
I must have such something.
[Dm] I've been conscious something you never do [D] that with a proper _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] I've just had the time [A] of my life to be [Dm] quite honest.
I thought this is what I've always wanted
[D] I never knew this.
This is what I [F] wanted.
But this is it
[Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] What was kind of peculiar [Dm] and different about it at the time [Am] was that they'd never been this kind of spontaneous
[D] _ generational clash
The 60s and the 80s seemed to be quite separate but for once, [Dm] you know, they came together in a [D] really neat way
_ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ [Am] _
