Thanks for the HD version of this classic.
I listen to a lot of different music & I think this is simply one of the best songs ever written.
all this fab band sing is a story , they are amazing ,,,,,in fact they are genius blokes i saw them several times in the early 80s what a complete utter joy xx lol to all fans xx
Glenn Tilbrook has always reminded me a bit of John Lennon….
I have just started reading Bob Mortimers biography “And Away” and in it he mentions the group Squeeze. I have just listened to them again after a very long time………..omg I had forgotten what a fantastic group they are, I’ve bought Squeeze Greatest Hits, brilliant. I actually had their albums ( shows how old I am!). I just started singing along with them and it’s amazing how you still know all the words. Love them, thank you for such amazing talent Squeeze, truly wonderful, a great British Group.
This song is the definition of Poignant.
Best version.
One of the greatest 'story' songs of all time. The lyrics are smart and heartbreaking in equal measure. This is poetry put to music. Magic.
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 in to 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
To my other favourite W.W. it’s been a pleasure working with you
