Since Squeeze's second breakup in 1999 (they reformed in 2007 for a series of shows, possibly not permanently), Glenn has pursued a solo career, often touring around the UK and U.S. in an unreliable RV, playing small venues to audiences of faithful and highly supportive fans. He currently has two solo albums, The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook and Transatlantic Ping-Pong. Tilbrook co-wrote some of the songs for his solo recordings with artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Chris Braide and Aimee Mann. In 2006, the documentary "Glenn Tilbrook: One for the Road" was released. The film follows Glenn on his November 2001 tour across America.

This is Where You Ain't
by Glenn Tilbrook

Tilbrook

Sitting alone with time to reflect on all that's come to pass
If anyone had told me how it would end up, I think I would have laughed
But the moments that we shared have stayed, it's a challenge to know how to feel
But the end results the same as this is now the deal.

This is where we had some fun and this is where we played
And now the fact I have to face is that this is where you ain't
This is where you slept at night, this is where we ate
These everyday things have stopped now because this is where you ain't.

When you were leaving the way you held me, told me all I needed to know
We both feel the same way about saying goodbye, it's crap and then you go
But the ghosts of you are all around and I like them being here with me
And until the next time I'll be seeing you in my dreams.

This is where we had some fun and this is where we played
And now the fact I have to face is that this is where you ain't
This is where you slept at night, this is where we ate
These everyday things have stopped now because this is where you ain't.

And I know in my heart that I've got to let go
And I want to stop this feeling but I can't say no
And I dream that you're with me and it just isn't so
I'm a long way from happy, you're a long way from home
You're a long way from home
You're a long way from home, no no.
