I was able to catch bits and pieces of AT40 Flashback this weekend, and in doing so discovered this little ditty... VideoBillboard #32, R&R #27 in early 1988. Oddly enough, it utterly tanked in the UK, yet it's one of only three to even chart over here. As far as lost 80s hits go, this one's in that way-far-out-in-Never-Land territory. You won't find it on any Squeeze compilations, as Squeeze co-founders Chris Difford & Glenn Tilbrook have both grown to hate the song. |

"She's in Mill Hill / I'm in Bermondsey / It's the end of the earth on the northern line..."
I love most Squeeze. This isn't my absolute favorite, but it's still quite good. I don't get why they pretend it never happened. Saw them in concert in '08 and they omitted it from the set, as expected.

I just downloaded the song today because of that AT40 episode. With your testimony, now I know why it is sooo hard to find!

I find myself singing this one in my head quite often. I have asked a ton of people about this song and no one has heard of it. I love it and need to go find (download) it. I always like the accapella opening.
