Squeeze, Londons own. I only ever really knew them for being the band Jools Holland tickled the ivories in and the song Cool For Cats, naturally I assumed they were some sort of novelty band and despite having Cool For Cats as my ringtone for a few years never listened to anything else of theirs. Until one morning at work recently when we were given a whole morning dedicated to them and it turns out they churned out some mega hits!

“Shape up at the disco and I think I’ve got a pull
I ask her lots of questions and she hangs on to the wall
I kiss her for the first time and then I take her home
I’m invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone
She likes to go to discos but she’s never on her own
I said I’ll see you later and give her some old chat
But it’s not like that on the TV when it’s cool for cats
It’s cool for cats (cool for cats)”

“I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
And little kicks inside her
This morning at four-fifty
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another “

That kills only love
I want to be good
Is that not enough
So play me the song
That makes it so tough
Another nail for my heart”

“He’s not into miracles
Sees life all too cynical
The cat has got his tongue
Now she bangs on his drum
He says, “Pull the other one”
Bells ring, look what you have done
Emotions leakin’ out
Her paint’s all over town”
