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.

I’ve Returned Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
Last night I played the drunken fiddle
Disabled love with a word of dribble
On and on about some jumbled subject
Said your friends were a bunch of muppets
Said your sister should have grown a moustache
Said you didnt need to take off your mask
Down the staircase I made my stagger
I left you crying but it didnt matter
So I sat inside my car and wonder
A headache in my head like the thunder
Chewed my nails like a guilty victim
Couldnt see or feel the night or nothing
Wanted to explain but all so desperate
Love was like it was some investment
Then I dont remember who said what when
On a scrap of paper I placed my pen
When I woke up in the morning
Beside you in the bed
My mouth was full of nothing
My arm around your head
And I dont know how I got there
I didnt want to check
Now back between each other
Were salvaging our wreck
Youve thrown my jigsaw all over the floor
Were at the deepest deep
I thought our love had died forever
But it just went to sleep
