(difford/tilbrook)
She left her school for the factory
From pocket money to a salary,
From a pac-a-mac to a compact case
And every morning she inspects her face.
She discovers pulling pints in pubs
That the good looks will never cover up for
Her dumbness in taking the stock
Sees her reflection in a butchers shop.
She finds it all quite rare
That her meats all vanity fair.
She has her eyes on medallion men
Who get her home on the dot at ten,
She combs her hair when she gets excused
The deal she wants always ends up screwed.
Paints her nails on the bathroom scales
Gargles her breath like a landed whale,
Her beauty is as deep as her skin
Keeps her eyebrows in a tobacco tin.
She poses foot on the chair
Coconut shy but vanity fair.
In her vanity case her compact case
In her compact case her eyes,
Not bad for a sister
But her vanitys fair and her sense of humours dry.
She comes home late with another screw loose
She swears to have had just a pineapple juice,
Falls asleep fully clothed in her bed
With her makeup remover by her head.
And she might not be all there
But her dreams all vanity fair.
Squeeze is a British band formed in 1974. Founded by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, the duo achieved fame in the 1980s with a pop-rock sound characterized by catchy melodies and ironic and introspective lyrics. Among their most notable successes are "Cool for Cats", "Up the Junction" and "Black Coffee in Bed". Over the years, the band's lineup has changed several times, but Difford and Tilbrook have always remained at the center of the project. Squeeze has released numerous successful albums, including "Argybargy" (1981), "Some Fantastic Place" (1982) and "Spot the Difference" (1985).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
