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.

Hope Fell Down Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
Youre banging your drum
You blow your own trumpet
Your ship came in
And your fanfare sunk it
The tide has turned, our loves gone forever
I stand on the shore
As it floats down the river
I had such hopes
I had such visions planned
The frames were shot
But now our futures canned
I had my hopes so high
They fell right down
Im banging my head
You watch without malice
(you watch with no interest at all)
I bet all your friends
Compare this to dallas
(I might as well talk to a brick wall)
So under the arm I feel the cold shoulder
So Ill once again
Have to play the wild rover
Do I need all this pressure
Do I bury my temper
