Probably my favourite Squeeze song closely followed by 'Cool for cats'. It was inspired by a 1965 BBC TV play about the love lives of three working class young women factory workers in South London (Clapham Junction). The gritty realism was controversial back then especially as it featured a back street abortion.
If you want to learn UK slang then Cool For Cats is the song to listen to. Most of the lyrics will go over your head. In one of his final interviews before he was murdered, John Lennon named Squeeze as one of his favourite bands at the time.
Wow! So weird to think that even for guys of his age - let alone kids - this song is as much a historical artefact as, say, "Rock Around the Clock" was to me!
No chorus, straight fast story. Great song. These guys are outstanding. Thanks for reacting to it.
My favourite song of all time!
Fantastic tune and story!
A great live act especially in a small venue, some great nights.

The brilliance of this song, is they were brave enough to stay on the same melody throughout.....
If you’re interested a new band from UK covered this song they are called the Lathums and they are f***ing brilliant live.

I enjoy that you showcase this era of music, hope you dive into Elvis Costello
an absolute must!😊
The lyrical rhyming sequence of the song are something very unique and the song doesnt have a chorus only quoting the title of the song once
Jules Holland with that fucking cigar!

A very British song
Piano was the one and only Jools Holland who went on to be a well respected music presenter.
Guys please react to a British band called catfish and the bottlemen- Pacifier
