The Lyrics of Chris Difford

by Chris Difford

Chris Difford is a double Ivor Novello winner and a walking enigma. One half of the inimitable and timeless Squeeze, Chris' sometimes bewildering kitchen sink lyrics and urban folk stories have brought us characters and sketches from every day life, turning the mundane into the beautiful for the past 30 years. Together with his writing partner and Squeeze co-founder Glenn Tilbrook, Chris has written some of the most enduring and best-loved songs of our time; Up The Junction, Cool For Cats, Black Coffee in Bed, Pulling Mussels (From A Shell),Tempted and Labelled With Love, to name but a few. Along with Squeeze's impressive cannon of material, Difford has released 3 critically acclaimed solo albums and toured relentlessly both inside and outside of Squeeze so, as one of the country's most respected songwriters, it is only fitting that his lyrics are collected in a book. Chris Difford's beautifully observed lyrics are brought together for the first time in this exquisite volume. 124 Songs 192pp Pocket Sized Hardback - 164x105mm

The acerbic lyricist behind Squeeze’s catchy tunes gets his due with a presentation of the lyrics as poetry.
