  My god I&apos;m absolutely addicted to british music like this. I&apos;m not even british but somehow I absolutely love stuff like Squeeze, Steve Harley, The Kinks, The Jam, and of course the other usual suspects. Hats off to you Brits, you make the best music in the world. Much love from your german brothers!<br><br>Edit: recently visited England and I loved it. The people, the music, the architecture, the football and THE FOOD!!! I&apos;ll have to return soon, I long for a sunday roast again...

  Squeeze wrote quietly devastating, everyday stories within bright, catchy tunes. The definition of bittersweet. It&apos;s an art form.

  This is a classic piece of what I call the poetry of the ordinary. There are some songwriters who just seem to fundamentally grasp the mundanity of life, and turn it into something that hits deep into the heart.
