Two of the most popular programmes were:
I'm usually strong, keep love far away
A wall round my heart so it won't have to break
But you take me some place that I've never been
And I don't know if I'll find my way back again
Cos you've got me right where I want you
And there's not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
You've got me right where I want you
When I close my eyes you're looking at me
You wake me at night walking round in my dreams
The wind blows the smell of the roses in bloom
And all I can think of is last night's perfume
Cos you've got me right where I want you
And there's not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
You've got me right where I want you
And I never thought that I would get caught
But here I am wrapped up in you
Cos you've got me right where I want you
And there's not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
You've got me right where
You've got me right where
