The thing about listening to bands like Squeeze when you were 12 was you couldn't understand the adult emotions. The pain the protagonists were feeling. The sheer drama of the emotions. But also that ther were emotions that coild be used for commercial and humorous effect,
You didn't really know what love was. Ot how it felt to have tour heart broken. We still trade in this language because it's all we have, But perhaps we'll never get to the bottom of these ideas. The ultimate quest,.
For Squeeze it was always clear that The Beatles were the template. Two central songwriters. Lennon & McCartney, Tilbrook & Difford.Sings that rhy,ed. Melodies with hooks. The human heart the central focus. East Side Story had fourteen songs . Seven on a side. A veritable treasure chest.. .
