Squeeze are an English pop rock band that came to prominence in the United Kingdom during the new wave period of the late 1970s, and continued recording in the 1980s, 1990s and 2010s. In the UK, their singles “Cool for Cats”, “Up the Junction”, and “Labelled with Love” were top-ten chart hits. Though not as commercially successful in the United States, Squeeze had American hits with “Tempted”, “Black Coffee in Bed”, and “Hourglass”, and were considered a part of the Second British Invasion.
I am a huge fan of the band and could pick almost any of their songs for this post. But I decided on this one, from 1979. It is very ‘London’, and the lyrics reference 1960s books, plays, and films. Also districts in the city.
The lyrics are on the video.
