Squeezewas a British rock music band that came to prominence in the new waveperiod of the late 1970s. The group formed in London in 1974. The two main writing partners in the band, Chris Diffordand Glenn Tilbrook, are widely considered to be among the finest melodic pop songwriters of their generation and have often been compared with the legendary Lennon-McCartney partnership, although unlike The Beatles, Difford and Tilbrook's direct collaboration on songs continued through most of the group's career. The original lineup of the band also included pianist Jools Holland, who went on to become a popular solo artist and bandleader, and is now best known as the host of the critically-acclaimed and highly successful British music TV show Later with Jools Holland. Squeeze's lineup in the 1980s also featured the lead vocals of Paul Carrack, who was also one of the lead singers of Mike & The Mechanicsas well as a solo artist.

853-5937
Angela cant make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Shell give you a ring when she is home
Every time I called her I got the message
I listened to the voice coming down the line
I couldnt speak to a tape recording
I redialed it a number of times
853-5937
Angela cant make it to the phone
If you care to leave your name and number
Please speak clearly after the tone
Shell give you a ring when she gets home
I rang her this morning so very early
The same old message coming down the phone
I should go and see if her house is empty
Maybe shes poorly perhaps shes not home
Shes in mill hill Im in bermondsey
Its the end of the earth on the northern line
It makes it so hard for me to see
The one that I love but can never find.
I called up a close friend who lives right by her
I got the message he was out too
I was suspicious, are they together
Ive got to find out that this isnt true
