    I got a job with Stanley
    He said I'd come in handy
    I started there on Monday
    So I had a bath on Sunday

    my favorite bit.

    Are there many songs that don't mention the title?

    Also there are only two songs ever to get in the top ten that mention Camber Sand. Pulling Mussels from a shell being one ("They do it down on camber sands, They do it at Waikiki" (I assume they don't mean Ceroc Weekenders)) and the other song is Heavy weight Champion of the world by Reverand and the Makers


    Pulling Mussels is written about the time spent in Camber on holidays and is the only song in chart history where all the band and vocals come in on the first beat of the song !!!!
    Do you miss Banks's Mild??

    That led to a bit of an obsession where I bought all of the Squeeze albums I could find.
    That led onto a love for Jules Holland's music which developed into my love for big band music and now my sporadic attempts to learn Lindy Hop so I can dance to it! (one day, hopefully )
    My favourite Squeeze song isTempted by the Fruits of Another, Great lyrics

    Musically it is gorgeous - especially the opening. The story is a bit dated - and '1960's' kitchen sink.......so I prefer more timeless Squeeze stuff. ('Mussels' gets thru as it reminds of one holiday in Great Yarmouth).

    Unfortunately that situation is not dated.

    ....or "Bo Rap" as we call it......
    probably the best track ever recorded.
    Plus the first long single ever released.
    Stairway to heaven was never released as a single.

    It's actually just called 'Tempted' - at least that's wot it says on my 7incher.
    You've got a tattoo hidden away?

    No - the situation maybe not be dated - although the detail in the narrative has dated. For example:

    I never thought it would happen
    With me and the girl from clapham
    Out on a windy common
    That night I aint forgotten
    When she dealt out the rations
    With some or other passions
    I said you are a lady
    Perhaps she said I may be
    We moved into a basement
    With thoughts of our engagement
    We stayed in by the telly
    Although the room was smelly
    We spent our time just kissing
    The railway arms were missing
    But love had got us hooked up
    And all our time it took up

    21st Century Update
    If it's Clapham Common - maybe it would be more appropriate to be a gay relationship. Staying in "by the telly" - well maybe "on the web" might be more up to date.

    I got a job with stanley
    He said Id come in handy
    And started me on monday
    So I had a bath on sunday
    I worked eleven hours
    And bought the girl some flowers
    She said shed seen a doctor
    And nothing now could stop her

    21st Century Update
    He's be more likely to have a shower than a bath these days. And working 11 hours? Perhaps.... And given the situation - probably more likely to have an abortion these days.

    I worked all through the winter
    The weather brass and bitter
    I put away a tenner
    Each week to make her better
    And when the time was ready
    We had to sell the telly
    Late evenings by the fire
    With little kicks inside her

    21st Century Update
    Putting away a tenner isn;t going to go that far these days.......and selling the telly? More likely buying a flat screen from what I've read on other threads......
    Late evenings by the fire? Maybe radiators.....
    ?

    ............etc.....

    Still, a great song........

    Gays were having fun on Clapham Common in 1979, well before the MP was sighted.
    Staying in "by the telly" - well maybe "on the web" might be more up to date.

    [/quote] Soaps are evermore popular today and there's more of them than in 1979. Plus there's cable now.

    The English didn't bother much with baths or showers then. "You'll wash yourself away" they used to say.
    And working 11 hours? Perhaps.... And given the situation - probably more likely to have an abortion these days.
    Probably the same amount of abortions I would say.

    Funny, I used to think a tenner was a bit stingy even in 1979 .
    and selling the telly?
    Agree with you there, they have no selling on value these days.
    Late evenings by the fire? Maybe radiators.....?
    Gas fires and real fires are popular today.
    ............etc.....

    Still, a great song........
    Yeah, the bit I didn't agree with was that she gave birth in 30 minutes.
