Top Of The Pops

The Smithereens

Big plans, big time, everything
Downtown pawn shop, bought us a ring
Heading for the top
Top of the pops

Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops

Two time, two-ton hangover king
The bride wore black, we were ready to swing
Too far gone to stop
Top of the pops

Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops

You told me, baby, you had time to kill
But then you tossed me out like an overdue bill
You left in a hurry with a guy from the band
On a one-way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on

You told me, baby, you were gone for good
But here you are right back in the old neighborhood
You stood in a lobby with a ticket in hand
For a one-way ride to the promised land
Top of the pops

Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops

Second hand wedding band, throw it away
Big plans, big time, got in the way
Now we're on the top
Top of the pops

Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on

Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops

Top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Top, top, top of the pops
Walk on
