You [G] can hear the music.
We have also got a live performance from Steve Harley [F] with Barry and James from [D] Cockney Revels.
There is them over there.
We know they're genuine because they [Gb] are sitting in our studio tonight.
He's taken us back to the street where he grew up.
Would you please, Paul, do as an intro into this film in the style of Smashy?
I certainly would, great mate.
You would!
He's pop-tastic.
He's rock-tastic.
He's named after a motorbike.
Quite literally, he's Steve Harley.
[A]
[G] [F] You've done it all.
[C] You broke a [G] lyrical.
[F] I'm Steve Harley, singer, [Cm] songwriter, musician.
[G] First found fame with my band, Cockney Rebel, in the early 70s.
You smoked the game, [C] no matter [G] what you say.
[A] It must be 35 years [G] since I last walked through this door.
[D]
[Gb] Wow, the old homestead.
This is what was known as the front room.
[B] The one we didn't use.
My mum and dad liked to keep this one for posh.
[G] They moved here when I was [D] two in 1953.
This was where my mum and dad brought up five children.
They would have been very proud of [B] living in a nice big place like this.
My [Bm] dad was a very hard-working man.
He'd get [G] on his bike at 3.30 in the [D] morning,
and he'd get back here at lunchtime after doing this massive milk-round in Greenwich.
And he became the caretaker [Gb] of the block of flats.
And he did instil in all of us that we had to get out.
We had to go and work hard, do our best in life.
[E] Well, my bedroom for about nine or ten years.
Three of us slept in here.
The rooms all seem so small, don't they?
How did [B] three boys share in this space?
But of course you [Em] do, and we did.
[Eb]
[G] What would my mum say if she could see this fitted modern kitchen in here?
[Bb] This is where she used to have the Bush radio, and she would sing along.
She was a jazz singer as a young woman just [Eb] after the war.
When I was three and a half years old here, [C] I caught polio.
There was an epidemic at that time.
They said Stephen won't live through this.
[Ab] These are the steps taken down here on a stretcher early morning.
[B] And for over the next 16 years, three or four years of that, will be spent in hospital.
[Bm] Here we are at Carshortland Beaches.
Behind me is the chapel.
I mean, that's all that's left now.
[Db] There were iron lungs, kids in iron lungs all around me.
Many very, very sick children.
This was a wonderful hospital.
Pioneering surgery took [B] place here.
It helped change my life.
My parents brought a Danset record player down for me and my albums.
[G] December the 14th, 1963, [D] the Rolling Stones came to visit.
And they came into the ward where I was.
Charlie watched them by my bed and chatted to me.
Nice man.
Well, I'd been listening [C] to a lot of music in the hospital during a [Bm] long stay there,
and I'd come out and dreams came true.
And that Christmas, my [Ab] dad thought at 2 o'clock in the morning [C] that I would be asleep.
I heard, dong.
He accidentally tapped a guitar string.
A little dong sent me on the road to a career.
And I was awake, and I just, [G] I don't know if I slept a wink.
[C] And I came straight around here to Trout Beck Road where [G] my friends lived.
And they were quite musical.
They [Bb] taught me the chords to a couple of [G] songs,
one of which was the first one I learned really to play and sing
was Dylan's early song, Blowing In The Wind.
How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
Just before I was 17, I went out into Essex to train as a journalist.
But in my heart, all the [C] time I knew I was going to have to write songs
and be a singer and musician.
So I formed a rock band, Cockney [F] Rebel.
Come up to say your name [C] to make them give you a smile.
[Dm] I'll do what you want.
Made [A] records and began to [G] tour.
I'm still doing just that.
[F] I think as much as [E] being brought up here [F] in a fairly [G] large family
in a flat in South London, being away as much as I was in hospital,
that also made me the man I am.
[F]
[G] Steve, thank you for that.
Wonderful little trip [Gb] down memory lane that was.
And Steve's going to be playing for us at the end of the show
because 40 years ago, this week, Make Me Smile was at the top of the charts.
Steve, you have all been looking forward to this.
Steve Harley with Barry and James from Cockney Rebel.
They're on tour with the whole band later this year,
starting in Manchester on the 2nd of November
when they'll be playing their classic album, Last Years of Our Lives.
Right now they're playing track 6.
Here's Make Me Smile.
[A] [G] [Bm] [F] You've done it [C] all
[G] Fucking live recording
[F] For the rebels
To the floor
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, [F] hop
You spoil the game
No [G] matter what you say
[F] For only [G] metal, water, boat
Blue [C] eyes, blue eyes, [F] yeah
How [C] come you tell so [G] many lies?
[Dm] [F] Come up and see me, [C] make me [G] smile
[F] Do what you want, [C] run in a wire
[G]
[Em] [D] [E]
[G] [F]
[C] [G]
[G] There [F] ain't no more
[C] You've taken everything
[F] From [C] my belief [G] in mother earth
[F] [C]
[G] Everything
I [C] know what faith [G] is
And what it's worth
[F] Away, [C] away
Don't say, maybe [G] you'll try
Come [F] up and see [C] me, make me [G] smile
[F] Do what you want, run in a wire
