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.

Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
Warning: these lyrics are unconfirmed and may be inaccurate. they represent the best attempt at deciphering the song we have yet to see.
She used to do a topless down at the surrey docks
With tassels on her whatsits she did a triffic job
Of raising all the eyebrows of every lunchtime mob
She went with all the tossers who kick about a ball
They say their clubs the greatest, and she has kissed them all
At the arndale center, shes up against the wall
I cant name names cause thats not cricket
I cant name names that would put me in it
But thats another story in the finish
I saw them at the pictures a tangled heap of love
He had so many women, but only classy stuff
I saw him at the clinic, a pink card up his cuff
One holiday in bognor a stag night hit the town
The groom is in the car park with his trousers down
But thats another story that wont be going round
I cant name names cause thats not cricket
I cant name names that would put me in it
But thats another story in the finish
The deptford had a beano to southend for the night
With 40 crates of lager, to see the southend lights
The got home for their breakfast pissed out of their minds
This girl gave me the minces so I asked her for a dance
And in the death I kissed her and so I took a chance
And when I went to touch her, she tried to break my arm
I cant name names cause thats not cricket
I cant name names that would put me in it
But thats another story in the finish
