Squeeze: "Up the Junction" (1979)

"Up the Junction" was the third single released from Squeeze's second album "Cool for Cats". The tells the story of two people in a working class section of England. The way the lyrics are laid out is unique and uses simple language to convey the narrative of the man who's life slowly becomes a shambles. It was a big hit in the U.K. and many bands have covered the tune since its release. The bands latest album was realeased in 2010 and they are currently touring Europe. I'm a big fan of Glen Tilbrook, who sings lead on this song.
