King George Street - Squeeze

King George Street - Squeeze
3:48
Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti, 1985
Written by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook

This week is all about 1985!

A rather sad song to an incongruously upbeat tune.   A woman takes her kids and flees a drunken, abusive husband, who comes back with apologies.  The song ends there, ambiguous.  It's a decent enough song.  The production is very '80s, with electronic drums, keyboards, and tambourine.  The vocals are at times themselves a little robotic.  It could be a great song with a little more warmth in the production, possibly if it were written in a different era.
