UP THE JUNCTION

“…Alone here in the kitchen,

I feel there’s something missing.

I’d beg for some forgiveness,

but begging’s not my business.

And she won’t write a letter,

although I always tell her.

And so it’s my assumption,

I’m really up the junction...”

Squeeze finally enjoyed success in 1979 with the single "Cool For Cats". Its follow-up was "Up The Junction". Both tracks were lifted off the 'Cool For Cats' album which was also issued that same year. In Britain, both singles peaked at #2.

Written by group members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, "Up The Junction" tells the story of a relationship. A couple enjoy sex and soon spend all their time together. They get engaged. The female announces she is pregnant. A daughter is born, but the relationship soon sours.

By the end of the song, the baby is now 2 years old. The woman is living with a new man. Our narrator is left alone and sad.
