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.

Letting Go Lyrics
Squeeze
(difford/tilbrook)
She plaits her hair, I bite my nails
We balance love on the scales
I wind the clock and go to bed
Our love is hanging on a thread
She gets undressed, I undress too
The draft is cold in my bedroom
We cuddle up and say goodnight
Its all the love there is tonight.
I cant be brave enough
She cannot say what were feeling
Day after day
Were going through the motions
We find it hard to let each other go
She boils the eggs, I make the tea
Outside the sun shines on the street
Were at that point here love has gone
The fuse is lit, it wont be long
I take a walk, she cleans the house
This is the end, Im in no doubt
But neither one of us can show
The slightest sign of letting go
