"Up the Junction" was the third single released from Squeeze's second album, Cool for Cats. Written by band members Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, it remains one of the band's most popular and well-remembered songs (especially in the UK); it reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. It is quite notable for not having a chorus. Speaking with Songfacts about this song in an interview, Glenn Tilbrook explained : "The lyric was a story that had no obvious repeats, and I thought it read perfectly well as it was.
