“Last Time Forever” by Squeeze

"Last Time Forever" opened the book on Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti, Squeeze's sixth album, in 1985 as its first single, and it was the band's first single since 1982; in between, Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had kept writing and recording as Difford & Tilbrook. Tilbrook wrote the music and Difford the words, and Laurie Latham produced a moody, heavy-lidded record, with Jools Holland on keyboards, Keith Wilkinson on bass and Gilson Lavis on electronic drums. The album version and the 12-inch slip in snatches of dialogue sampled from The Shining; the 7-inch cut them.

The B-side was a goofy grab bag, "Suites From Five Strangers": five roughly one-minute songs, each written, played and produced by a single member. It peaked at 45 on the UK Singles Chart.
