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.

Domino Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
I knew that I had drunk too much
I had passed my drink degree
I climbed into my rented car
I was happy as could be
Then I pulled out of the driveway
And the lights began to blur
Within a mile the car was stopped
By a police officer - she said
Did you see the light was red?
Did you see the light at all?
Then I fell into her open arm
And thats all that I recall
I knew that I had danced before
But it never made the news
Surprised to find my two left feet
In john travoltas shoes
I hogged the space around a girl
I found so full of verve
Then I moved in slowly for the kill
And watched her body swerve,
She said did you know Im not impressed
With the way you dance at all
Then I fell into her open arms
And thats all that I recall
Blacked out and wasted
I had to be persuaded
With my view a little jaded
That I was about to go
Down like a domino
I knew that I had said too much
But tact was not my way
Tears were on her bottom lip
She had nothing more to say except
Did you know this love we have
Has made me feel so small
Then I fell into her open arms
And thats all that I recall
