About Take Me I'm Yours

"Take Me I'm Yours" is the debut single by English new wave band Squeeze. It established the band's trademark vocal style, with Chris Difford singing an octave lower than Glenn Tilbrook."Take Me I'm Yours" was one of the first songs the band had written. As Difford recalled, "[It was] written very early on in our career. I don't know a lot of songs lyrically I find that it takes a while to discover what they're about. You write them down, they're almost negatives of a photograph that need to develop and with that one, it's still developing. " Difford later named the song one of the only tracks on the album that was representative of Squeeze. The song has been covered several times, including a unique take by Tim Curry on his 1981 album Simplicity, and more recently by Andrea Corr on her album Ten Feet High. In 1998, the song was used in an American television commercial for Dockers jeans. The track peaked at No. 19 in the UK Singles Chart in May 1978. more »

I've come across the desert 
To greet you with a smile 
My camel looks so tired 
It's hardly worth my while 
To tell you of my travels 
Across the golden East 
I see your preparations 
Invite me first to feast

Take me I'm yours 
Because dreams are made of this 
Forever there'll be 
A heaven in your kiss 

Amusing belly dancers 
Distract me from my wine 
Across Tibetian mountains 
Are memories of mine 
I've stood some ghostly moments 
With natives in the hills 
Recorded here on paper 
My chills and thrills and spills 

It's really been some welcome 
You never seem to change 
A grape to tempt your leisure 
Romantic gestures strange 
My eagle flies tomorrow 
It's a game I treasure dear 
To seek the helpless future 
My love at last I'm here
