Lyrics below:
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face
Pajamas, a hairbrush
New shoes and a case
I said to my reflection
"Let's get out of this place"
Passed the church and the steeple
The laundry on the hill
Billboards and the buildings
Memories of it still
Keep calling and calling
But forget it all, I know I will
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
I'm at the car park, the airport
The baggage carousel
(The people keep on grindin')
Ain't wishing I was well
I said it's no occasion
(It's no story I could tell)
At my bedside empty pocket
A foot without a sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock
Alarmed by the seduction
I wish that it would stop
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
I bought a novel, some perfume
A fortune all for you
But it's not my conscience
That hates to be untrue
I asked of my reflection
Tell me what is there to do?
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
What's been going on
Now that you have gone
There's no other
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered
Tempted by the fruit of another
Tempted but the truth is discovered

42 years later and this is still one of my favorite songs of all time!😊
Real musicians playing real instruments, take a bow Mr Carrack
Still sounds great
Good really good
Same
@@emiliacanet9960 15 years here :)
Elvis costello not only produced this album but he also contributed backing vocals
Hence the genius
He’s also why Carrack was the lead on this song and not Tillbrook. He didn’t like Tillbrook’s version and reproduced it with Carrack.
Fucking WOW!
@@schmedrake5429 Glenn Tilbrook and Elvis Costello also sang parts of the second verse. Costello's parts are mimed in this video by John Bentley and Chris Difford.
Still, a great idea for Costello to give the song to Paul Carrack to sing. Good thing too - Tilbrook, Difford and Bentley all put this amongst their favourite Squeeze songs.
@@antster1983 There is a video on TH-cam with Glenn Tillbrook singing the song with Daryl Hall. And he sings it the way Carrack did. He still sounds good. I love the entire Singles album, but Tempted is my favorite of all the songs.
This is a vocal masterpiece. Everything about this song is fantastic
3 incredible singers in one band.
It's amazing Glenn and Phil let him sing this.
Amazing song
I have to agree. They don't do them like this anymore!
I was a teenager when this song came out, I swear the first time I heard it that I already knew it. Only song I ever experienced like that.
@@kildogery Four singers. The "deep voice" line in verse two is Elvis Costello who produced the song!
@@kildogerythey let Paul Carrick sing because his voice is unbelievably good!
Love the four of them taking turns singing the second verse and then the backing harmonies. As fresh as it was released 43 years ago.
This being the original...2 of those lines are actually Elvis Costello who produced it, singing....
(The people keep on grindin') and (It's no story I could tell)
I was 17 and it seems like yesterday
This is a classic recording. In the second verse, when the band shares vocals, each member with a distinctly different voice, we witness something most rarely done. Very powerful.
This being the original...2 of those lines are actually Elvis Costello who produced it, singing....
(The people keep on grindin') and (It's no story I could tell)
@@RaxOldies Thanks, didn't know that.
@@adammarkowitz7944 My pleasure...
#TRUTH!
I love that part. I wish more songs did stuff like that.
This is the perfect marriage of blues and pop.
Well said.
even if the song is about infidelity :D
Paul carrack man, what a smooth distinctive vocalist
Brilliant singer
Yes, and he's still at it. His most recent is an awesome big band album -- "Don't Wait Too Long" by Paul Carrack and the SWR Big Band, released in 2023
Seen him twice. He'll sell out in 12 hours when announcing the venue.
😮 I didn't know he was in Squeeze.
@@Anlushac11he's only on this album (and som later album) as a keyboardist and only sings on this track (and another track on the other album)
What a challenging bass line. The song just travels everywhere.
The 80’s were such a great time for culture and music.
Not for fashion though 😂
They were the best
@@TempeSoldier123 you look back at it fondly, but let's see: androgeny, postmodernism, political correctness....yeah, real great stuff that totally hasn't helped destroy western civilization.
Great music though 👍
@@hegemonycricket2182 to you, political correctness in the 80’s was a bad thing because white people weren’t saying the things publicly about Black people that they were allowed to say up until then without accountability.
I know your kind, You miss the “good ol days” when all you had to do was be white to get opportunities, Black people “knew their place” and you had a “I’m white and I say so” attitude.
@@PH_1964 LOL, true. I was guilty of the big hair, shoulder pads, and glitter blue eye shadow. 🤣🤣
Glen Tillbrook did this song at a solo gig in my hometown and he told the audience to sing the entire song while he played guitar. I was in the audience and we sang the entire song word for word. He loved it as much as we did.
That just made me cry & then laugh 🎉 Thankyou for sharing that!!*🎉
I wish I had been there. Thanks for sharing
Awesome story, sound like a great show!
sounds amazing!
Me too.
Played next door to where I lived in Tempe.
Played a hide and seek game with him backstage.
It was a weird but pretty funny story.
I had to lead black coffee in bed as he kind of lost track.
Ya had to be there.
Was hilarious but awesome.
Glad I got to see a great show.
Paul Carrack sang lead on "How Long" by Ace, "The Living Years" by Mike + The Mechanics, "Don't Shed a Tear" by himself, and this all-time gem. What a legacy.
well said
I was just gonna say exactly what you said. Cool, now I don't have to. Well done brother.
@@davidramsey2411 ditto.
Just figured this out. Played and sang for Roxy Music on their final albums too. Amazing. Great versatile voice.
My thoughts expressed in your post. Absolute genius.
Originally Tillbrook was to sing the lead, but producer Elvis Costello had Carrack try it and decided he liked it for the recording. I agree as it gives the song such tonal variety.
Nice. Didn't know this was a Costello production it is obvious that got some outside for this writing.
Incredible i dont believe??? Paul Carrack!!!! WOW
I have to agree with the choice to use Carrick singing lead. EC knows how to produce a record….who knew….
Totally agree he brings an extra dimension to it 👍
Yes no comparison between the two vocalists, they picked exactly right
You can't write a better, more perfect song, than this
Yet they did
lol wut
But they did, a few times. 😅
Pulling Muscles From The Shell
Of all the magnificent tracks by Squeeze, this is perhaps the most sublime.
man, this is one of the purest vocal performances of all time... Carrack stole the show, even though he was barely a member of the band and the song was written by Tilbrook & Difford.
You can thank Elvis Costello for suggesting Carrack to sing this.
@@brianj4201another reason to love Elvis Costello !
how many groups has Carrack been in, anyway?
@@glennlanham63093
I feel the same way about Glenn Tibrooks voice
A unique timeless classic that never gets old
What a great voice Paul Carrack has
Exceptional voice!
Fantastic. One of my favourites from SQUEEZE. I had no idea that he was the same vocalist from Ace's How Long, one of my cherished songs from my Father's 70s record collection.
Looking back I agree
Over your shoulder?
Clive Bindley Yes. A very good singer. A proper musician who doesn’t court publicity or fame, but any he does get is because of his talent. A lesson the X-factor crowd should heed!
This song never gets old no matter how many times I hear it. Which is a lot!
100% agree.
Never
Great songs like this have the Peter Pan phenomenon!
Weekly
317.
I am 68 now and this song still makes my hair stand on end! Lawsamercy!!! 🤗
OMG unbelivable..... you still have hair..
My daughter could sing this when she was 18 months old. It’s the music, not the words. She’s almost 31 now, still dancing to her own drum. So proud!
You go girl !
A true sign of excellent parenting...! 🥰
One of the most underrated vocalists ever, IMO.
Carrack , Tilbrooke and Difford don't get half the credit they deserve, but neither do so many other stupendously talented people . Such is life.
and there we go... the 'underrated' search ended reliably quickly there. another use of the meaningless 'underrated' in youtube comments sections. a bizarre obsession
Just like his compatriot, another PC, Peter Cox, of Go West fame. He also has that Blue-eyed Soul vice which Carrack was praised for. I would admit though that Carrack can hit those high notes even better than Coxy. I like both of them alike though
@@jamescarr4662 OK James, take it easy.
This is a Difford Tilbrook affair. A matter for Squeesze to live through. East Side Stories was produced by a Vampire, Not George Martin
That Paul Carrack is one hell of a performer that was classy
He just put out a "50th Anniversary" version of his greatest hits today, with these songs redone this year. Living Years is a lot more choir focused. A lot of the others were from the original greatest hits, like tempted I think is the 2012 version of it. But all in all I think there are 8 or 9 2024 versions of songs on there and it sounds pretty damn good. Highly recommend checking it out. Was a good 1hr+ of my morning today. :)
@@lorenmorgan1931 Yeah, But Paul Carrack started out with The Group Ace that had The Hit song How Long and I so enjoyed
Fun fact: This is one of Huey Lewis' favourite 80s tracks! There's some radio footage in which he also praises Carrack's vocal performance as well.
Ah man, I feel Huey Lewis and Squeeze could have done some cool stuff together.
I could believe Huey would like Squeeze, they do the same sort of rhythm and blues music
The heart of rock n roll 😀
Initially a bit confused. But blimey it is Paul Carrack, no mistake really.
Another fun fact: the album was produced by Elvis Costello. The backing band on Elvis’ first album was an American band called Clover. That band was the beginning of Huey Lewis and the News.
The Brilliant Paul Carrack 🎵🎵🎵
paul carrick, has one of the finest voices in music today.
Paul Carrick has one of the most beautiful voices. Instantly recognisable ❤️
It's Carrack not Carrick!
Great voice. Love his vocals on the living years also. Great song.
Yes but, he's not really Squeeze is he?
Joke yeah
+Alicia Catherine
He's half the reason Mike & The Mechanics is my third favorite band!
And his solo work is also awesome as Hell!
I had forgotten how fantastic Squeeze were. I loved every song of theirs I heard and its all coming back to me again as I watch this video. Searching for more!
They still are.....I saw them on Tuesday.
This song brings back some 80’s memories! It aged beautifully, still very catchy 👍
Real vocals real drums real Instruments real talent
The singer. Christ. 🇺🇸🌿
Amen
@@Bronte866 Jesus is the singer?
During that period 81-82, both Costello and Squeeze had a dozen classics each. Saw them in Jan. 81. My first major show. Lasting memories. You just don't hear songs like Pulling Mussels From A Shell, Clubland, Strict Time ,Lovers Walk, Someone Else's Heart anymore.
@@vernpascal1531 Nobody cares.
As a 49 year old I was drawn to this video as a young kid envying Paul singing as those beautiful females danced beside him.
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste
A flannel for my face

Minor correction:
'The people keep on writing
And wishing I was well'
(like a postcard)
Copy and paste???
Love the lyrics, thanks.
Thank You so much!
Magnificent in it's simplicity
Glad to have grown up with music like this
Paul Carrack is one amazing voice. This song doesn't work without him. Those who know great music will always listen to all of Carrack's artistry forever!
I'm not familiar with his other work besides the classic How Long. Pretty good?
@@vernpascal1531 Mike and the Mechanics!
Up to 50 seconds feels unreal in a good way.
Listening to this and smiling at the lyrics and happy memories of Squeeze for my dear friend Ali who sadly passed away far too soon last week who loved this bad. RIP x
Love this song. Such an underrated band, they should get more recognition for their great songwriting/ lyrics ❤️
'underrated' word fetish: 10 points.
Only underrated in the States. In UK they were pretty big.
@@jamescarr4662 Go have a lie down mate
@@suburbanindieNot in my American circle are they.
Class song! Love the first line ...and the fact Paul Carrack is lead for this one. Squeeze 💛
They don't make this music anymore or brilliant bands like this❤
both paul and glenn have some of the most amazing voices in the world, their tones are just amazing
When I hear this it reminds me of being a young man living on the outskirts of Auburn Maine in 1978, using my thumb or just walking uptown. -and by Gid their was a laundry and a church in the hill, this beautiful gem brings me back to that special time and place….. Tom Struska 👍
Maine is the Big Sur area on the East Coast...God's country!
Great song by one of our greatest bands - sheer class
When we were young. An all time classic. Playing after we are all gone.
Squeeze massively underrated band...tilbrooks voice is fab.
The groove on this is awesome
Makes u feel good everytime I hear it💞💞
LoL 😂 so true, how's your day going?
One of the greatest tracks ever to have been pressed into vinyl.
One of the best songs to teach beginner drumming. It all starts right here! 🥁
It's absolutely incredible. It stands the test of time.
I'm so happy my parents brought me up with this music, I don't know how I would have survived modern music.
@rubywilson..You must be an amazing, open-minded woman..Wish I could talk music w/you..I wonder, do you like BowieJapan, Roxy, The Damned..and, what's the difference anyway..
There are few rock vocalists who are the cream of the crop… Paul Rodgers, Brad Delp, Mickey Thomas, Lou Graham… but man, Paul was phenomenal. Arguably one of the best ✌🏼
All these years later and still such an amazing tune and killer vocals!
I am Japanese.
I do not speak English,
I have been a fan for many years.
This song is in Japanese karaoke, so I'll try to imitate it.
Arrr so lubbly 🙂🥰👍👍
An embarrassment of riches, such talent that still shines
Why not even 1 million views??? It's one of my most favorite songs of ALL TIME, deserves 1 billion
Agreed
Yeah man, Paul is fantastic vocalists,total control of the song sequences,. Love the parts sung by the others members of the band .
July 23 2024. 2:03PM. In Greenacres FL. Tempted. Beautifully song by Squeeze
Paul carrack one of the greatest talent's of this country, love this guy
Paul Carrick put the new twist on the square sound and the producer insists Carrick sing on the song must have put the band writers out.
Talents
jesus....no use of 'underrated'?!!!!! you are in a youtube comments section!!!!
Super nice down to earth guy.
Perfect song, perfect production, lead vocal and back vocals are out of this world.
One of the best songs ever written
Well said
Best time of my life
@@kellysmith8845 best
better than comfortably numb?
@@goodpainlive1 I can answer that for you, it's differently better yes.
This is one of the best songs ever written and performed. This is fantastic.
a band solely built on good songs - no bullshit - respect
Best fucking comment EVER
A very talented group of musicians. Great memories of my youth!
Classic! And that blonde babe in the foreground is fantastic. ❤
You can't make them they were born to be fabulous ❤
One of the best songs ever written!
THREE (3) AWESOME SINGERS in One INCREDIBLE Relationship Song ! ! !
Top Class Talent...
ABSOLUTELY ! ! !
❤ 😂 ❤ 😅 ❤
I first heard/saw this song at The Cellar, Cartwright Center, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Elegant bass, tight drums, superior backing vocals, and the crystal clear Paul Carrack. Talented group taking me back to cherished days. Always.
Seen squeeze live tonight in Glasgow, they were fkn brilliant and brought back so so many memories. What fantastic group and lyrics.
A true classic stood the test of time !
Love those backup lady singers. Nice dimension to the whole setup. Great tune!👍🎸🥁🇺🇸❤️
I know- they don’t sing much- but they’re fun to watch!😁👍❤️
Sexy too
Is that bananarama as the backup singers?
@@billslagle6571 I tried to find who they were, but failed.😛 I’m guessing “ no”, but not 100% sure. Good question though👍
Heard they were passersby they corralled to be in the video.
There's a serious Temptations-vibe on those harmonies. Love it.
Carrack is, and always will be an absolute musical genius. He was everywhere throughout my life. I'm 55 now. In 2023. He is, and always will be, The Music Man.
What a great voice Paul Carrack has and what a great group!! 👍👍
Squeeze was & is one of my favorite Groups.
genius guys what joy they have given me over the years ,,,,,,,im tempted to say they are the best x
My dad loves this song. Came out when he was young and it’s on his playlist. I’ve inherited his taste in music.
One word to describe this song: Timeless.
I think was 11 or 12 when this song was big and I was convinced I would marry the blonde girl on the right. Great tune. Great band. Great blonde.
"No vuelvas sin razón, no vuelvas..." - Un Millón de Años Luz de Soda Stereo. Acabo de leer q para componer ese tema tan clásico de Soda , Gustavo se inspiró en las lineas de bajo de este tema. Increible, pero el comienzo es "Un millón de años luz". Gracias entonces Squeeze por haber inspirado a Gustavo! ja
nada...que...ver. :p
Es la posta Julio. Lo dijo el mismo Cerati
Para mi se parece igual muy poco, yo vengo de Wikipedia y leí eso también.
Así es, el mismo Gustavo Cerati lo dijo, y eso se lee en algunas líneas del libro "Cerati: La biografía definitiva" de Juan Morris.
Incluso hay videos de Gustavo cantando esta canción!
My favourite song from them.... reminds me of the 80’s and my teenage years
I heard this in the grocery store the other day, and instinctively started singing it. I didn't even care how many people could hear me. 😆
It's been on regular rotation at Safeway lately....
I would have sang right along. It’s such a great song!
They play this song in Food Lions near me😂😂
Tescos ? 😂
I do the same thing...
Love it!!!
best band in the 80s such class ,genius songs ,,,,,,mind blowing to say the least .xxxx
Absolutely the most difficult 'di di, di di dit...' ever written!
i love squeeze full stop this is such an overlooked gold nugget beautiful a band gifted with three vocalists and jools and the rest of the band talk about an overload of talent and they wrote the lot amazing.
As I was saying this is one of the best songs of my life. Tilbrook and Difford and Paul Carrack on vocals and keyboard. Love it xxxx
a gustavo cerati le encantaba este tema... cerati cuanto musica nos dejaste! gracias eternas
Fabian Cravero a quién le importan los gustos de Cerati? A mí en lo personal son prescindibles; yo vine aquí por Squeeze:3
por algo esta fue siempre mi favorita de squeeze, sin saber que a mi ídolo le encantaba
@@xdenil a bueno master 👍
Yo estaré a un millón de años luz de casa ...
Every now and then this song pops into my head and then I listen to it over and over for a few days because it’s so good. A beautiful song, beautifully sung ❤
This was on the radio the other day...damn good track. Squeeze are one of those bands that write some very clever and funny lyrics that hit home...they've written some classics over the years..
This is right up there on my list of all time greats,like top 25 easy.What a song and a fantastic story behind it.
This is a great band, from the great 80s, how true the lines are of this song, I loved all their music, great memories
Such a unique and memorable song! Carrack added another great vocal dimension to Squeeze! 👊🇨🇦
What makes this song so good is the complex chord structure. There's some pretty way out chords in this that work so well as a sequence in combination with the bass line.
It worked so well though! I love this song because of its complexity as a "pop" song or blues song
It's a real one-off, structurally. Very hard to jam along with!
For a normal unmusical person who can't figure out a chord progression it doesn't feel "complex". Just one of those few songs that is 11 on a scale from 0 to 10.
It really is a truly exceptional song, McCartney - esque in it's simple/complex nature. And a BASTARD to play.
TIMELESS TRACK / GREAT LYRICS !
What a band and what a great singer! This song is timeless.
One of Squeeze's best songs.
Fantastic ⭐️
I saw Squeeze 'live' twice in Wolverhampton..(1980's) What a really 'Class' act. Wonderful. Paul Carrack gave this song a deep, frightfully scary and loving edge. I still love the song. (John)..
THAT BLONDE!!
And the director and the camera man knew it! 😀
Yes! Who is that?
Yes!!!! I knew there would be a comment like this 😁😁😁 camera man's a legend
It was 1981 and I still can't get over how good girls looked then.
Had my heart broken many times, but would do it all again.
Thats why I watch the video for 40 years haha
@@Station2Station-du2ghYou know this, how?
Great band, great song memories....
What a beautiful song I have not heard this song in a very long time, I first heard this group when they sang cool for cats. I had just turned 11yrs old, I love this group so much. My favourite song is up the junction.😃😃😃😃😃😃
This song always reminds me of the scene in Reality Bites when Winona Ryder and Janeane Garofalo sing it in the car right before Ben Stiller crashes into them.
Rockerholic85 the 90s... 😢😢😭 winona forever
Quack quack
What a great voice. What cool song. What great voices!
