Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

1. Band Drama Difford and Tilbrook wrote as a split-brain pair: one handled lyrics, the other melody, often working separately instead of jamming songs out together.
2. Media Narrative British press kept casting Squeeze as the “next great English songwriters,” a tag that helped them but also boxed them into constant Lennon-McCartney comparisons.
3. Personal Struggle Chris Difford has spoken openly about insecurity and later alcohol problems, which sat in sharp contrast to how neat and clever the band looked from the outside.
