"Satisfied" comes from Play, the ninth album Squeeze made, released in 1991, with Chris Difford writing the words and Glenn Tilbrook the music. Tony Berg produced it and worked out the arrangement together with the band, Chris Lord-Alge recorded it and Bob Clearmountain mixed it, and the finish is all burnished, expensive sheen, with a wry, grown-up pop song ticking away under the polish.
The two sides of the Atlantic could hardly have treated it more differently. At home in Britain it was the album's second single and, even with a full commercial release, never made the charts at all. In America it went out only as a promotional single, yet it climbed to number three on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
