Joe Cocker, Rockapella, Sting, Richard Thompson, Morse/Portnoy/George To nie historia, którą mógłbym opowiedziećĬhris Difford, Glenn Tilbrook Edytuj metrykę Kupiłem szczoteczkę do zębów, pastę do zębów Tempted but the truth is discovered Dodaj interpretację do tego tekstu » The last line is most heartbreaking: even though he is deeply hurt, he still buys her gifts - and then asks himself, 'what the hell am I doing?'.Keep calling (keep calling) and calling (and calling) However, he can't forgive her, he wishes she would stop touching him. The line about the seduction refers to that even though she has cheated on him, they are still living together and she is making attempts to be amorous in an effort to put the cheating behind them. 'Tempted by the fruit on another' - he's talking about her - not himself. To me, it’s the line 'there's no other.' That is, even though he's been cheated on and she's gone, he has not moved on and still loves her. OK, so how does that make him the cheatee? I'm getting to that. It's painful to reconcile these happy memories with the fact that he has been betrayed - so he resolves to 'forget it'. The pain here is that he is taking it all in - noticing every detail - and that he likes the neighborhood and the happy memories he had there. As he's doing this, he notices the familiar neighborhood of his girlfriend's and he says he will forget it all. In the beginning of the song he's buying some personal items and 'a case' - he's moving out. ![]() I always thought it was a confession from the cheater - however, after re-listening, I think it’s from the point of view of the one cheated on and the pain of dealing with the aftermath.

Tempted By Squeeze - Digital Sheet Music Price: 5.79 Includes 1 print + interactive copy. They may not have been Lennon and McCartney, but Difford and Tilbrook, with a big assist from Carrack, sure captured Beatlesque pop perfection with “Tempted.” The song wouldn’t hit even the Top 40 in the US, but it would become ubiquitous in TV shows, movies, and commercials over the years while it simultaneously gained a foothold on 80’s-based radio stations. We leave this sad sack standing in front of a mirror asking his reflection for some kind of sign as to the path he should take. And Carrack pulled it all together with a vocal that makes you feel every bit of this guy’s torment, which is crucial to making him relatable to the audience. For his part, Tilbrook created a melody that’s both instantly catchy and sturdy enough to endure. It’s a credit to Difford that he is willing to show his narrator’s struggles maintaining his fidelity, as opposed to writing another clichéd anthem about the rock star on the road pining for his girl at home. Carrack joined the band for East Side Story, and his soulful vocals found some profound, buried emotions in Difford’s guilt-ridden to-do-list. Squeeze had a secret weapon to help put the song across in keyboardist-vocalist Paul Carrack. “Tempted” tells of the narrator’s futile attempts to stay faithful to the woman he addresses in the song while dealing with temptations on the road. “I also must have anticipated a good time on tour as the chorus suggests.” “Tempted was written in a cab on the way to Heathrow, I just wrote down what I saw and how I felt as we wormed our way through the traffic,” he said. It was written in a cab and well, here is the best explanation I heave heard from Jim Beviglia from the link: /2013/06/squeeze-tempted/ But did you know that Elvis Costello sings on the. Although the song did not become a top-40 hit, the song became so popular you probably can sing along (Tempted by the fruit of another.). General CommentThis one was driving me nuts because it could mean different things. In 1981, Squeeze released the single Tempted, from the group’s fourth album, East Side Story.
