One of those rare songs that gives you a feeling.

[@shaunkelly7480]

A truly iconic single in the UK when I lived there in the early 1980's, "Tempted" was composed by band member Chris Dillford as he rushed in a cab heading for Heathrow for the band's first continental tour. The Squeeze's two brilliant but quirky songwriters, Dillford and Glenn Tillbrook - along with the band's producer, the even more talented Elvis Costello - were considered by many British rock fans and critics at the time to be the successors to Lennon and MacCartney. While their reign as popmasters proved to be somewhat short-lived, their body of work was prodigious. Band member Paul Carrack sings the lead on "Tempted," backed up by Dillford, Tillbrook, and Costello. After this fetching Top Ten single was released, many Squeeze fans would throw toothbrushes in Rocky Horror-style onstage when Carrack sang the opening line: "I bought a toothbrush..."

Every time I hear this song, I have to have a slice of toast. When I was a little boy, I'd be getting ready for school eating breakfast, which was always toast. The radio would be playing as I ate breakfast, and this song always came on everyday around the time I was eating. And so, here's a "toast" to Squeeze. Thanks for the great song.

This my mom and i’s friendship song. This has been our song since 2004. We decided that once we listened to it on her laptop after dinner one Thursday night in 2004. We were at our old house in echo mill at that time. I still remember what we had for dinner that night. It was spaghetti and warm breadsticks and salad. I also remember what she wore during dinner and for the song. It was her Calvin Klein overalls. After dinner i remember asking her if she had time to listen to our song before she went to work that night and she said yes. Now it’s one of greatest memories that my mom and i have made together. I will always cherish and hold that memory so dear to my heart. After that night it became our song and it still is to this very day weather we listen to it on the radio or on KZbin. In fact her and i just listened to it on her phone as i walked her to her car when she went to meet her friends for dinner. Yes she has the KZbin app on her phone. Thank god. Now her and i can always pull up our song on the KZbin app anytime we want and relive the day when it became our song. Thank you so much for posting this. It means so much to my mom and i to have our song on here. I love you mom. Thank you so much for this amazing memory that you and i made together. It means so much to me. In fact it’s one of the greatest gifts that you have given to my heart.

[@sonicfrogdotnet]

I play bass and play both of these songs. The words / tune for Tempted were written by Chris Difford and Clenn Tillbrook. Paul Carrack had replaced Squeeze piano player Jools Holland. Producer Elvis Costello suggested Carrack sing the song instead of Tillbrook. G.T. wanted to sing it, but once he heard Carrack... It was a no-brainer. Carrack wrote "How Long" about his bass player, who was thinking about quitting Ace. Bass player wisely stayed.

0:09 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🎤🎶

Although after buying all their albums can't say that there was any bad ones. Another great band was The Nails and their 88 Lines about 44 Women, is so clever. Chek them out if you haven't , still sell their music via their website. Do a search have a listen.
