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.

Everything In The World Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
There are planes coming in
And theres planes going out
One piece of luggage
Goes around and round
A lady cleans the floors
A night guard checks his watch
Theres two lonely faces
And one of thems the clock
What crumbs of joy can I steal from this day
She didnt have the time to call me and say
If the things Id heard were valid and true
Ive got everything in the world but you
Everything in the world but you
I drive against traffic
People race in to work
Ive got this expression
That I know I deserve
The key slides in the lock
Whos been here in my bed
Whos been drinking coffee
Whats this paper and pen
My nerves are ripped to shreds
The phone rings on the floor
But I cant pick it up
I cant take any more
There are planes flying in
And there are planes flying out
I look up to the sky
And Im left in no doubt
