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.

Your initials on the singles
That you chose to leave behind
Sit in my collection
They get played from time to time
Left to remind me of something Id forgot
The images of loving before I lost the plot
What was love to us
Just sensation
What was love to us
The invitation
To sit on my bed stand by a tree
What were we feeling
What was love to us
The stagecoach would get held up
On a sunday afternoon
Were dozing by the tv
On a sofa with no room
No room to lay out flat with her there by my side
One eye on her movements one eye on rawhide
I just wasnt made for these times
Spun around my record deck
How green was my valley
How blue the eyes that wept
Looking back I dont think that I really cared
This was my first lesson with nothing to compare
