this song has got to be one of the greatest ever....I have chills. Chris Difford's backing vocals and Glenn Tillbrook's lead are utterly magical. *tears*
this song and its fraternal twin "King George Street" were stunning in 1985 and have lost none of their unique qualities in the intervening near-quarter century! but why no album version of either one on YouTube? is this corporate greed on the prowl again?
First ime I heard this song (1985), the guy playing it for me 3 times in a row committed suicide that same night by hanging himself. That gives a different meaning to the words "Last time tonight forever". Stil cannot hear the song without crying my eyes out.
I just saw Squeeze in Toronto on August 28 2008. Tilbrook's singing is unbelievable. Super tight, 90 minutes, about 20 great tunes. It's wrong that a guy like this has to "play" for his dinner, and the likes of Britney Spears are set for life at the age of 20. It's ironic that Squeeze came out at the birth of videos, that videos helped make the band big, but that videos also played a huge role in pushing real talent out of the limelight.
Yes. It appeared about 30 seconds into the album version of the song. According to the book "Song By Song", Jack was a fan and didn't mind. Whether that's true .....
They were hardly one hit wonders

I couldn't do a video good enough for the song.
Vanity Fair is another classic from East Side Story but, then again, that album is jam full of classics.

The keyboards are enough to make this a classic; Glenn's angelic singing is such a plus. An amazing song.

They do change band members often, but that is Jools on keyboards in this video (the piano/keyboards in the front).
