Squeeze bassist John Bentley ranked it his fourth favorite Squeeze song. It's so visual and again floats me back to that time when youth was a cloud I drifted around on from day to day". When we finished it I couldn't quite believe it was us." Difford also named the song as a favourite, saying "I do love 'Tempted'. It was when we grew up, really, as a band. Tilbrook considers this one of his favourite songs: "It was our first song. I heard Paul putting it over to a broader audience." Tilbrook similarly recalled, " did a remarkable job my ego was bruised initially." Though the original arrangement, according to Tilbrook, "sounded like ELO," the final version song instead features a Temptations-style performance that featured Tilbrook and Costello performing parts of the song's second verse. Elvis Costello, who was producing, ran in and said, 'Let's put this down on tape!' So, we did, and Elvis said 'Paul, you should sing it.' Ĭostello noted that, while Tilbrook initially took offence to ceding lead vocal duties to Carrack, the personnel change benefitted the song: "Guess what, we had a hit with it, so I guess I was right in that respect. The song was in the can, and we were recording the other songs from East Side Story when we had some downtime and played 'Tempted' but in that slow, soulful, Motown groove. Dave Edmunds produced it, and it was completely different. They’d actually recorded a version of that song before I was on board. According to Carrack, this was the result of a suggestion by co-producer Elvis Costello: Unlike most other Squeeze songs, which are sung usually by Tilbrook or Difford, the song's lead vocal is sung by newly recruited keyboardist Paul Carrack. It's one of the most played songs that we have in our catalog. I don't know the course of time of how long it took, but then I gave Glenn the lyrics and then Glenn put the music to it. I got on a taxi and I started writing down what I saw lyrically. The original story behind "Tempted" is we're going on another American tour. The descriptions of the city and airport sights are interspersed with the narrator's ruminations on a relationship that is failing, or has failed, due to his own infidelities. Difford wrote the lyric while the band was taking a taxi to Heathrow Airport. "Tempted" was cowritten by Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford. It has also seen critical acclaim and has become a mainstay of the band's live setlist, often being sung by Tilbrook.
