Squeeze - Goodbye Girl

Released in November 1978, it was the first single from their second album "Cool For Cats" which was released in March 1979. The lyric and arrangement is slightly different to the album version. I heard this played on the radio the other day and it was described by the DJ as "the Squeeze classic". I wonder how many other singles can be described as "classics" and yet only make 63 in the charts. Coming to think of it, how many singles that made such a lowly chart position can you remember?

Makes me glad I checked my subscriptions! One of the first Squeeze songs I ever heard and still makes me happy.

Glen Tilbrook is truly a great talent. Watch his vids and you will see him playing guitar, bass and even drums and of course he wrote all this stuff. Thumbs up for Glen.

What a pro band to see live. Just did it for me when this was the encore, such a lovely and likable song, the two voices work so fucking great together. Was she a hooker, or just a thief, Iknow it doesnt bother you . Havent seen her yet.....
