Squeeze Picture
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 Can’t Hold On Lyrics

Squeeze

(difford/tilbrook)
In the corner by the d.j. unit
The flag of beauty my eyes salute it,
She likes love
By luck or labour
She likes love
But not for favour - cant hold on
She keeps her lips on the straw shes sucking
Looks up to me but her eyes see nothing,
Loves her stare
The steps to her heart
Loves the climb
The bite not her bark.
I pour the milk into the cats saucer
Im john wayne as Im walking towards her,
Shed like to dance
But not this minute
Shes the fish Id love to fillet.
I draw first with a stammer of verbal
We dance like pigeons forever in circle,
She likes to dance
Her cocktails shaken
She likes love
And its temptation
The lights flash green
My envy lights up
The lights just flash
And I feel tied up,
Loves for sale
And I am sold on
But theres no way
That I can hold on
I cant hold on
