I saw Squeeze in Camden last December, with my best mate Nic. After Christmas, he slipped on the stairs and landed on his head crushing the cerebral stem and killing him instantly. Every time I listen to Squeeze, he comes back. I remember everything about that guy was Labelled with Love. Wish I'd said so to him more often.
Never heard this tune, just seen it on Glastonbury backstage acoustics. Tune! Crazy how one simple riff or verse can take us back years and years. Sorry for your loss 🙏
Thinking of you, that’s awful. My grandads favourite song was this and he was like a dad to me and he passed away suddenly from a rare disease so listening to this always reminds me of him. Here if you need anything 😫
Love the Saturday Morning Cartoons / Archies / Scooby-Doo-style presentation! Hits home with those of us of a certain age, and follows the “script” perfectly! Full marks 🥇!❤️
Covered by They Might Be Giants. So, I put both versions in my TMBG playlist. Glenn's voice sounds somewhat more gruff in this remake. Thanks for the upload!
I never thought it would happen With me and the girl from Clapham Out on the windy common That night I ain't forgotten When she dealt out the rations With some or other passions I said, "You are a lady" "Perhaps," she said, "I may be" We moved into a basement With thoughts of our engagement We stayed in by the telly Although the room was smelly We spent our time just kissing The Railway Arms we're missing But love had got us hooked up And all our time it took up I got a job with Stanley He said I'd come in handy And started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours And bought the girl some flowers She said she'd seen a doctor And nothing now could stop her 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 With 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 And now she's two years older Her mother's with a soldier She left me when my drinking Became a proper stinging The devil came and took me From bar to street to bookie No more nights by the telly No more nights nappies smelling Alone here in the kitchen I feel there's something missing I'd beg for some forgiveness But begging's not my business And she won't write a letter Although I always tell her And so it's my assumption I'm really up the junction
Not as far as I know...it was a pub they used to frequent but as she is pregnant and they are saving their pennies..they are missing in both senses this pub.
Jools Holland left the band about 40 years ago . This was an animated backdrop for a tour over 10 years ago . Steve Nieve who has a beard was playing keys
Squeeze, who commissioned us to make this , as a huge animated backdrop to be shown behind them, when they played this song live, and the 100,000s of fans around the world, that seen it during the 2 years that they used it, may disagree with your opinion. Thanks
