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.

Cigarette Of A Single Man Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
The cigarette of a single man
Burns in the ashtray by his bed
He pulls the ring of another can
And holds it up beside his head
The book he reads is on the floor
Hes read it several times before
What you got to go home to?
The cigarette of a single man
Sits in the ashtray on the bar
He sits and sifts through several plans
But knows alone he wont go far
He needs the love another has
To help him, if another can
The cigarette of a single man
Lays in the gutter by his side
Now hes one of those little lambs
Who strayed too far from the flock to find
Hes better off without the grief
That people wear between their teeth
And in his mouth as hes asleep
The cigarette of a single man
