Squeeze - Tempted ('94) (HQ)

[@Nayops24]

0:10 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🎤🎶

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste A flannel for my face Pajamas, a hairbrush New shoes and a case And lots of toilet paper I know people aren't collecting toilet paper like they did back when we first heard about COVID-19. But I still like to joke about it.

[@foxyiebot]

oh thank God. I thought I was going crazy.. the one I kept finding didn't have the same cadence I remember singing but this is it! 😭

[@eerdc]

@foxyiebot My sentiments exactly! This is the one I remember the ad-libs for, even the guitar at the end. $p0t!fy will make you think you're crazy to remember this version but it's 💯 superior.

[@MrMojoMan73]

A damn crime that this song and When You Come Back To Me by World Party aren't available on Spotify.

[@peterfalconer]

It's not often a re-recording improves on the original, but this is brilliant.

[@James-if3kc]

No, the original one is much better. This one sounds like it's trying too hard.

[@cowboys4life956]

Exactly, the original the singing is not as good as this one, its almost like he doesn't know how to sing it. But here his voice just fits the song perfectly.

[@James-if3kc]

@@cowboys4life956 its not supposed to be a soulful song. the original ones vocals fit much better because its supposed to be a cool type of song with a cool sounding guy, not a guy whos sounding liek s hes tryig to hhard to be soulful liek this version doesm dont you get that?

[@qballbuster100]

This is better than the original, in my opinion.

[@James-if3kc]

@@qballbuster100 your wrong

[@thomasd7475]

This song doesn't age. It is timeless.

[@dr.noir27]

i have nostalgic feeling to a time i didn’t live in.

[@James-if3kc]

shut up

[@scottrehberg4771]

This is the best version!

[@g3synth205]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice the difference! I much prefer this version too. I wish I knew specifically what it's called to distinguish it from the other version(s).

[@mothom323]

We get more of Paul Carrack’s soulful voice in this version.

[@marig.1536]

@@g3synth205 same. the vocals and pacing of this version is so much better. it feels more soulful and less rushed!

[@CaptainTeeVee]

Truly is...

[@James-if3kc]

not even close. the original one was much better and cooler sounding. this one sounds likea guy whos trying to sound black.

[@davidketels3717]

One of the greatest songs in the history of music. Squeeze and Paul Carrrack at their absolute best

[@Phyoomz]

This is my favorite version of this song. I don't think it's even on Spotify.

[@peterjmaida2057]

It isn’t. I searched Reality Bites Soundtrack on Spotify and it just has the original recording from 1981

[@shanabourne8457]

i could swear it used to be and then i went looking for it, thought i was losing my mind and had to track it down here! this version is SOOO fire

[@maxgremln]

It’s not Amazon music either

[@julianaylor4351]

Paul Carrack has done so many brilliant vocals and songs of his own.😎😍

[@jocurtis28]

That whole soundtrack is solid

[@xero6396]

Hear, hear!

[@marianourcaray8096]

Love the drums on this mix. The definitive version IMO.

[@dantean]

I'm wondering whether it's Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello) who was with them around this time.

[@basswanderer2765]

Was looking for this version, glad i found it, tighter bass and so on. awesome.

[@MIRUS1984]

This is definitely the better version. You get to hear more of Paul Carracks voice which makes the whole song. Bass and drums are also tighter and there seems to be more emphasis on the “wah-wah’s” in the chorus. Both in whammy pedals and vocals ;)

[@ChipsForDips]

This version is really special. Paul Carrack had been out of Squeeze for a while and was asked to re-record this for the Reality Bites soundtrack with the other members. Class. Edit: has to had

[@seatonsmithy436]

I'm fairly certain this version is a remix with overdubs so it's Paul's original vocal here. He had re-joined Squeeze 1993 for 'Some Fantastic Place' so strictly speaking hadn't been out of the group for some time when this was done - he may even have still been a member at the time. He did come back to re-record the song for 'Spot The Difference' in 2010.

[@TheSpecsShow]

Any way to clarify that? Parts of his delivery on this version sound different to me. His inflection of 'fruit', for example

[@fabriziopacheco]

oh! that's why this sound different, and this version is not in Spotify :( sadness, cause this sound better than the original

[@James-if3kc]

This version is so much worse than the original. This sounds like a live concert version where the singers always sing the songs differently than on the record. that always seems so pretentious to me. like, i came to this concert to hear the songs i know, not to hear them sung in a completely different way like a drunk guy at karaoke.

Love this song!! Sounds better over time

I have 2 of his albums. Both are promotional copies. I didn't really know much about him. I almost gave the albums away but I think I will keep them.

I like this one much better than the "original". It might be because this is the version I first became accustomed to though.

Way better than original and Carracks vocals really open up in this version. You scared because it’s different but a far better demonstration of his vocal capability quit hatin

Holy crap this version sucks compared to the original. Paul carracks sounds like he’s doing his version of the thing, Christina Aguilera does when she sings.
