LYRICS FROM "BLACK COFFEE IN BED"
There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was...
From the lips without passion,
To the lips with a kiss...
The stain on my notebook
Remains all that's left
Of the memory of late nights
And coffee in bed.

 

album cover for Singles - 45's and Under, by Squeeze Album Review: Squeeze came out of the new-wave era of the late 1970s. In their first five years, they saw moderate success, with a number of singles breaking into the Top 40, but with the Top 10 proving elusive. After five years of lukewarm attention from the public, the band decided it was time for a break. As they announced this to the world, they also released a compilation album, Singles—45's and Under. The combination break-up announcement/best-of release proved too much for the whimsical public to withstand—the album zoomed to number three on the British charts and eventually went platinum in the US. The success was well deserved, if a bit slow in coming. Singles—45's and Under compiles a dozen of Squeeze's best songs and is an excellent overview of the band's early genius. It has driving rockers like "Take Me I'm Yours" and "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)"; melodic pop tunes like "Goodbye Girl," "Is That Love" and "Another Nail For My Heart"; and laid-back, almost Caribbean-sound songs like "Tempted (By the Fruit of Another)" and "Black Coffee In Bed." The remaining tracks are all solid Squeeze creations—with the possible exception of the surprise goofball hit "Cool For Cats"—and they round out the album to make it a gem of pop craft. Die-hard fans will insist on going deeper into Squeeze's catalog, but Singles—45's and Under provides a delicious sampling of the band's squeezably soft-edged new-wave music.
