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.

Bonkers Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
I know that Im bonkers
Stupidity conquers
Forgive me I know not what I do
The cunning behaviour
Takes up every acre
Of emotional cage in the zoo
You know how it goes
The volcano blows
Eruptions hold the duvet down
The words on the lips
The sticking out ribs
As I try to push my weight around
Im sorry please witness
This act of forgiveness
Its all I can do for her to see
That I was the sad case
A mouse in the rat race
Wont somebody pass me the cheese
The size of her breasts
Like woodpeckers nests
Would comfort me on winter nights
The brains in my pants
Create milli amps
Of pleasure with seconds of delight
Im bonkers believe me
A federico fellini
Im swinging on the windmills of my mind
Where I have been ground down
Im still walking down town
Im leaving all this madness behind
Laid back on the couch
With me the old slouch
For an oscar on the silent screen
Theres no time to waste
As I fill my fat face
With a pizza slice and custard cream
Im sorry I hurt you
Im bonkers believe me
